Guest guest Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Dear all, I had a new 5 yrs old eczema patient yesterday - started at 3 years old, red hot dry, all over body and face. Been on betnovate for years. Mum keen to stop using it. It all became clear about 2 mins into the consultation when mum pulled out drink and snack for the child - a packet of " Fruit flakes " (flaky fruit eh!!) and a " flavoured " water drink. So I jumped very quickly to looking at this childs diet which is not suprisingly full of crap like that. So launched into a big diet talk and mum is pretty clueless about cooking and nutrition(although she doesn't eat the crap she gives her daughter, Gillian Mckeith is her favourite program and her 7 year old son won't because of the healthy eating stuff they did at his school (hooray!!) She is really keen to learn and change her daughters life. I have put together a diet sheet of what to avoid and what to increase intake of, but she could do with recipes too. So bar writing a whole book about healthy cooking, does any one have any good tips of a nice simple, not too hard core healthy food recipe book. My cookery skills have been patched together from lots of different books and experience and I don't really know of one specifically - especially one with families in mind. Also suddenly thought of the book E is for additives although I can only find a 1987 edition - anyone aware of a more up to date book with similar information.
