Well, after many weeks of searching I think I may have found a lotion I can use on my son. I bought it today at Whole Foods. It is ShiKai brand Borage Dry...
Wow, that's good news! I've seen ShiKai brand but never paid attention to the ingredients. I sure wonder what that "vegetable wax" stuff is. Hope it goes...
I use this (they have a pediatric formula at Whole Foods and it is blue) on my kids (two of which have dry skin and are prone to eczema) and have for over a...
Meghan, I noticed the bottle said "adult formula." Is there any difference between adult and pediatric? Where do you find the emu oil? Can I do the same with...
I have no idea if there is a difference. I order my emu oil from a distributor called back country out of TN (order over the internet at dinomeat.com ... ...
Has anyone heard of Allerdrops? I posted this to another group, but want to make sure I reach all of our allergy friends. My MIL is a nurse up in DC and met...

We are going to try to go, taking turns so someone can stay home with Tom. My husband may have a commitment that weekend, so I'm not sure. I'll be sick if we...
Suzanne, That is great news about Tom! I am so happy for you. Sounds like awsome progress. Could you give a sampling of what his diet is like? Breakfast,...
Jenny, Well, you asked what a sample meal looks like on the SCD for Tom, and here it is. It's going to look pretty weird to most people, but if you knew what...

Michelle, do your kids have gastrointestinal issues too? Diarrhea or constipation? I am happy to see your post. I don't think this board is very active. I...
Yes, our kids have lots of GI issues. We are still fighting yeast which does not seem to be going away. They have been on Nystatin and nothing. They have been...
Forgive me if I asked this already - has your DAN had you get an OAT or a CDSA to determine what yeast strains the boys have? Nystatin and diflucan are both...
Suzanne how did you finally figure out the meats and five vegetables that your son can tolerate,is ot allergic to? Our history is much like yours but we are...
We use a combination of elimination dieting and traditional allergy tests (skin prick tests are most accurate for us). That's what works for us. We've found...

Michelle, I haven't used it but I would like to try it soon. Let me know how it goes. What brand? What dosage? Sorry, I haven't had a chance to respond to...
... Most Organic Acids tests will tell you which yeast strains are present in excess. It your lab doesn't spell it out, see if your DAN can guide you on this....
Jenny, Take care of yourself and be careful about the heart situation. Right now, I am using Kirkman brand S. Boulardii and after the first 2 doses, they...
What do you look for as far as allergies? We see green crusty noses, runny noses and loose stools. On milk, it was raw heinies and soy was vommiting. I have...
All the symptoms you mention can be from IgE allergies. The loose stools, raw bottoms and vomiting could also be from IgG allergies. Goat milk is not a good...

I'm glad the allergy symptoms from rice are going away - hooray! ... To some extent, this is normal. Beets almost always will produce red stools and urine. My...
Suzanne and others, Can someone share their experiences regarding allergies or intolerance to vitamins? My son was on a standard polyvisol based multi-vitamin...
Does anyone on this list use pure activated charcoal? My son is hypersensitive to everything. He essentially only tolerates pure vitamins, minerals, amino...
Hi Tasha, I have never tried charcoal, as my son is about as sensitive as yours is. I have always wondered. I have chosen not to use charcoal just because my...
Santona, This is a tough one, and I'm afraid I don't have a lot of personal experience with vitamins. Tom has never tolerated any multi-vitamins, and we are...
