Here's something interesting regarding IL-17 pathways.

"I'm currently doing a cycle of anti fungals as a recent stool test showed high yeast and I suffer from Eczema (TH17/2 dominant)"

"My issue is, I can't get above 2x3 SF722 per day (rec dosage is 3x5 per day). As soon as I go higher my eczema flares massively. Same happens if I increase probiotics (sach boulardii)"

"Th17 cells produce IL-17, IL-17F, and IL-22, thereby inducing a massive tissue reaction owing to the broad distribution of the IL-17 and IL-22 receptors. Th17 cells also secrete IL-21 to communicate with the cells of the immune system."

"Furthermore, we now appreciate the importance of Th17 cells in clearing pathogens during host defense reactions and in inducing tissue inflammation in autoimmune disease."

Really sweet OP that you managed to connect the dots on this one. Seems like many folks were pretty close on the connections here but not quite there.
