Re: Re: Supplements etc; eczema

[Guest guest]

,

I am still nursing, and starting taking a DHA supplement from Nordic

Naturals a few weeks ago. I don't think that it has done anything for

Mark's eczema. Maybe he needs the EPA for the eczema. Can you tell me how

much EPA and DHA are in 1/2 tsp. of his fish oil? He is pretty much grains

free since the whole family is scd. The only time we go off of it is when

we're eating at someone else's home. It's too much work to pack up food for

five of us, so we just pack food for iel. Are the juiced carrots for

you, or was the baby also drinking the juice? How do you get the baby to

take the fish oil? Do you just squirt it into his mouth, or mix it with

something? Thanks for any answer you can help me with.

What is CLA The baby rarely gets dairy, and wasn't getting any dairy when

the problem began. Now that we only use fluid milk for making yogurt, I

rarely consume dairy. We do eat eggs though. Could this be the problem?

Did you mean to ask " What is CLO? " ?

CLO is Cod Liver Oil.

Mark is 15 months. The eczema started in early April, or maybe late

March. I was drinking probably 8 oz. of milk a day...I always have...and

was consuming other dairy(cheese, ice cream, ect.) on a regular basis. I

also had always been eating things with eggs in them(muffins, pancakes,

ect.) but rarely ate eggs themselves. It might have been around the same

time that the eczema started that I started eating eggs for breakfast, but I

just don't remember. He never had dairy before his first birthday, so it

wouldn't have been the cause. He has been breast fed from birth, and is

still nursing regularly(4x per day). I just can't figure this out. He's

totally healthy otherwise...at least it appears so. I guess that I'm

speaking in the " normal world " terms. SCD has shown me that many people

think that they're healthy, but they really have a whole lot of issue that

they don't even know about. So, maybe an EFA is the key for getting rid of

this eczema. Any other thought?

,

Creams, lotions, and anything else that isn't consumed doesn't have to be

legla, so I'll check out this link for what you use. I definitely am going

to start mark on fish oil tomorrow. How long before you started seeing

results with that? If I don't see the eczema clearing up, then I guess he

and I will both cut out dairy and eggs to see if that's the problem. We've

already cut the grains. Boy, he won't be happy about the eggs going if that

has to be tried.

First of all.... I need to remind all of you to please remember to trim your

posts. Sometimes you might reply to a LONG string of other replies... when you

don't need to leave all that hanging on to the bottom of your message. This

really CLOGS up the digest for those list members that get the list in that

form... so PLEASE TRIM!!! (If you don't know how, just write to me off list...

durovchic@... ).

Secondly....Michele, I'm getting a little bit confused here because you are

listing some supps that are illegal on SCD. Are you giving these to one of your

kids that is NOT on SCD?? This can be a bit confusing for some of the other list

members with a list this big (2500+), so I need to be clear that the following

are illegal:

<<ProBio Gold>> (contains inulin)

<<BarleyMax green supplement>>

If you guys are conversing mainly about eczema, and are referring to some of

your kids who are not on SCD, then please continue the discussion off list. I

know it's a big concern, but it's sort of drifting off topic. Thanks!
