Restoring Skin & Gut Biome
TLDR: Hubs had 2 hemorrhagic strokes, was in the hospital 2 months and his skin and gut biomes are trashed.
My husband was in the hospital for two months, 5 weeks of it in the ICU and they cleaned him everyday with CHG wipes, even after being moved to a regular room. It destroyed his normal skin biome. He’s been home since October and his skin still isn’t right. He’s got inflamed dry red patches on each side of his nose.
I know there are probiotic skincare products, I for one love Sunday Reilly Pink Drink spray before adding any other serums because it really helps the skin absorb the goodness from the other products. But I feel like his case is more advanced than a standard skincare routine can fix.
Is there anything that really packs a punch on restoring his facial biome?
His gut is also still reeling from the changes, he had a feeding tube with Kate Farms nutrition replacement for 7 weeks. Which is a whole food blend that’s allergen free, no gluten or dairy. (He’s gluten sensitive and has a dairy sensitivity that gives him psoriasis) I had even ordered some for myself on their site because I was so impressed with the ingredients for meal replacements since I wasn’t eating much at that time. (I’m celiac and have an allergy to casein). So his gut could have been waaaaaaaay worse, but medications & antibiotics early on did a number on him. He just mentioned today that his gut still isn’t right either. His daily BMs are soft bordering on loose. He mentioned he hasn’t had any floaters since, which he always had before. He’d often have to flush twice because they’d just swirl around the surface… We eat fairly clean.
He does drink quite a bit of kombucha, and is used to taking supplements including probiotics in the past… But considering how extreme his overall biome was affected, I thought I’d ask if there was some strains/products that work better in situations like this? That said, also anything that promotes brain health & healing?
