Study links psoriasis to gut inflammation, suggesting a "leaky gut" contributes to skin condition.

Recent research from Uppsala University suggests a link between psoriasis and gut inflammation, potentially explaining higher rates of gastrointestinal issues among sufferers. The study found that psoriasis patients had elevated levels of pro-inflammatory immune cells in their small intestines and increased intestinal permeability, or "leaky gut," which can lead to more abdominal pain and bloating. This gut-skin connection could lead to more effective psoriasis treatments focusing on both skin and gut health.
