I have a daughter that is suffering from eczema. It has never been on her face
and neck until recently. It was driving her crazy and I could not figure out
what was triggering it. Steroid creams and elidel did not seem to make it go
away. We knew that eggs and  milk were triggers. She never had a problem with
soy or corn. We took her off of soy but only after my mom told me about corn I
was oblivious. We took her off of it and she seemed to clear up. She later got
the flu, then a week later got strep. She was flared up because of the fever. We
got her straight again and tried some bread after not having any for 6 weeks.
She did not really react to it. We tried a butter substitute today called Earth
Balance that has corn in it. Her neck broke out within a few hours. I will not
give her anything with corn anymore. My main question is what do you use as a
butter substitute if anything? I did find spectrun shortening at my local
market, but everything else
had soy or corn in it. Any help or advice is welcome. I am still learning and
really want her to be healthy, happy and play like a 7 year old should be able
to do. We have spent the last 2 years in the house mostly because of her
outbreaks. I want her to play, have friends and do things she should be able to
do. Thank you again for your help ahead of time.

Do a detoxs diet with 100% neutral ffods for 10 days, then figure out which
foods /dinks chems trigger your eczema.



Once you've IDd them, you will learn to cope.



Life gets much better.



For me it is corn products (as in soft drinks- cheap fruit drinks - chocolate
bars - ice cream - most US processed foods because of hi.fructose syrop, corn
starch and MSG/ Aspartame), eggs, soy, nitrates, sulfates in processed meats and
wines. Cigarette additives -



Clean up these things and eczema goes away. I'm not perfect with my diet, but I
know what to stay away from wh3en the eczema comes back up.



The time I did a ten day neutral diet ( lamb, peeled fruuits and veggies, rice,
oats, buckwheat, olive oil, clean water ) I went through the first five days
with it gradually getting worse and worse, but through day 5/6 it started to
clear, and before I broke fast on day ten or so, my head was cleaner than ever
before or again) and I had this feeling that I could read pages with a
photographic memory. WOW.



But I've never mustered the courage to undertake it again. Off of HOOCH and Nic
for almost 7 years, I'm a coffee and tea junkie.

Subject: [eczemapsoriasis] Eczema and probiotics?



I've read the glowing information about probiotics, but what's the best

way to include them in my diet? The pills seeem expensive, and there

are various ones in yogurt too. Do some work better for eczema than

others?



My background: I have patches of eczema on my arms and it's starting

behind my knees too. I had a dose of prednizone not long ago and am

looking into non-steroid help b/c the creams are not working as well as

they used to. I'm also still looking into what foods trigger outbreaks,

with little success.



From ya'll's experience, what works best? What might be the best plan

of attack for me?



Thanks, Christine in Maryland
