Re: Eczema info UPDATED
ok, i'm going to check that out when i can, but a question: is it common for eczema to flare up seasonally? my sister has this weird rash-like thing on her legs, it itches and she has some really rough scale-y looking patches, but she only gets it in the winter... in the summer, they slowly heal and are fine... do you think that's eczema?

Re: Eczema info UPDATED
If what you quoted is saying that acidophilus can prevent unneccessary proteins from escaping through intestinal walls couldn't acidophilus cure or prevent celiacs disease?
How do I give acidophilus to my little eczema girl - nursing infant? I have the product AcidophiKidz, but I have not given it to my older ds nor have I taken it myself. It says to take it with food, but has anyone else used this product? If we eat and then it is about an hour later before we take the product is that fine? Or would it be fine to take it first thing in the morning with our vitamins right before breakfast?

Re: Eczema info UPDATED
I forgot about this thread...an update on my sister: she ordered the eczema stuff that was recommended on MDT...i thelped a little, but not a huge difference. she finally tried the arbonne baby care stuff: the wash and the oil. it's been amazing - I can't believe it. i'll have to post pictures when I get them. there's a few scars that are still fading, but it's healing remarkably well.

Re: Eczema info UPDATED
Talk to me about corn and eczema?
My mom said that about 80% of the infants seen in the place she works with eczema had theirs clear up with the illimination of corn and any products with corn. That's just her experience though in her area. She said that was the first thing they recommended when moms brought their babies in with eczema. My sons eczema wasnt so bad when I took out dairy but it is almost completely gone now that we are limiting our corn intake after talking to my mom. My dd's eczema has completely disapeared since she doesnt eat any corn, corn syrup, or maltowhatever. And wouldnt you know, my dd is sensitive to coconut so I really needed to find a way to get rid of the eczema instead of just sooth it. Im not on a computer where I can click on unknown links but any information about corn and eczema would be really helpful. |

Re: Eczema info UPDATED
Thank you for this I am sure their is a connection too. My DD has chronic constipation her bowls work slower then everyone else due to being premature. So when she is bad her ezcema is bad. We also use only 100%cotton that helps a ton. I do give her acedophulus too.

Re: Eczema info UPDATED
just now seeing this. thanks.
interesting link especially as I had read that c/s babies flora in their intestinal tract is different from vag births. My one vag birth was the only kid to not deal with allergies. |

Re: Eczema info UPDATED
Calendula works excellently for eczema! It is awesome. Both of my kids have had eczema as well as myself and it has worked for all of us. My dd had it all over her neck, back and torso, and after 2 weeks on hydrocortisone cream by perscription, she was getting worse After 1 day of calendula oil, she was 75 % better! It is doing much better and I think that it will be pretty much gone soon. My son also suffered with eczema constantly and we never even used the prescribed meds., but just used calendula and it cleared up in the morning. It is awesome! The oil or the cream works great. Make sure that it doesn't have anything added though, like chemicals or petroleum or such. We all get it mainly in the winter.

Re: Eczema info UPDATED
Im gonna have to look for some calendula! ETA: Drats! Its related to the ragweed family, which is one of our eczema triggers.
Im also gonna have to sign up to be able to read the link. Since i last posted here I too have found that healing the gut is key. We take calcium benotonite clay, yogurt, and sometimes straight olive oil and it has helped tons. Its gotten rid of everyones eczema except for one of my kids, who's comes and goes still. I was just recently wondering about healing our guts since I have noticed that what we are using keeps the eczema away but one day without one and its back instantly. Wondering about how to heal the gut permanently |
