A dear friend of mine, who is post menopausal has been diagnosed with Lichen Scleroisis.

Anyway, traditional treatment is an Ultra-Steroid - which she isn't responding to anymore.
I suggested a Gluten Free/Dairy Free diet - based on what I've read about the disease (auto-immune skin problem) it sounds enough like exzema to suggest that!
BUT, she's not a young woman and she doesn't really want to give up bread and ice cream, yet.
I'd like to offer some other alternative treatments or point her to someone that she might be able to communicate w/over email or something?
Thoughts?
XOXO Amy
