Why It Happens
Brittle nails after eating may point to nutrient absorption issues or post-meal reactions that affect nail health. While nails don’t respond immediately to a single meal, persistent symptoms may indicate underlying deficiencies.
Digestive Enzyme Deficiency: Poor digestion limits absorption of nail-building nutrients.
Food Sensitivities: Reactions to gluten or dairy may trigger inflammation that affects nail strength.
Low Stomach Acid: Inadequate acid impairs mineral and protein uptake.
Iron or Zinc Deficiency: These critical nutrients are absorbed after meals and support nail integrity.
Unbalanced Meals: High sugar or low protein meals may fail to deliver building blocks for keratin.
How to Manage
Review Your Diet: Prioritize protein, biotin-rich foods, and leafy greens.
Support Digestion: Consider enzyme supplements or ACV before meals if needed.
Test for Nutrient Deficiencies: Iron, zinc, and B vitamins are key for nail strength.
Identify Trigger Foods: Keep a log to track symptoms tied to specific meals.
Consult a Specialist: Malabsorption or celiac disease should be ruled out if symptoms persist.
Consistent nourishment and proper digestion are key to restoring nail resilience.
