re:help, bad exczema/Phyllis

[Guest guest]

My sons' allergies show themselves in exczema which can lead to irritability

and sleeplessness due to itchiness. It itches even before the rash comes

out. Soy is one of the common allergens and orange juice can also be

irritating and an allergen, although not as common. I remember you writing

that your allergist felt your son had multiple allergies. When trying

something new, it is suggested to approach it like giving a baby new

foods-introduce every three days to a week and in increasing amounts. That

way you'll know what is causing the outbreak.. Don't try anything else until

the eczema completely clears up, again to avoid confusion. It sounds like

soy or oj could be the culprit. Are you working with an allergist to

gradually re-add common allergens to a bland Diet? Just a thought. Helene
