Skin Reaction - Food Related

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone.

For the last 5 years I have been struggling with a very aggresive skin reaction. It reminds me of scoriasis (skin gets very itchy all over and flakes off, blothcy/patchy areas where it gets raised up and itchy) but it could just be Eczema. Now I notice it gets worse with tomatoes or high acid, citrus type foods, even banana. Also, any fruits or natural sugars, sweeteners drive my skin bonkers (thinking I have Fructose Intolerance known as HFI).

Anyway, I was in the hospital for an intestinal blockage a few weeks back and they put me on 60mg of prednisone. My skin immediately cleared up (within 3 or 4 days). However my skin is very oily whenever I take prednisone. What does this indicate?

Does anyone have any suggestions on foods or supplements that can reverse the itchy skin? I know once I stop the Prednisone the skin issues will come back, because it has happened several times before. Does itchy skin indicate some sort of liver or kidney problem, or does it indicate overgrowth of yeast/wheat/bacterias? If yes, what can I take to get rid of the overgrowths in my gut? I currently take Probiotics, but have taken that for almost a year and see no difference, skin wise. I take one pill a day of the SCD Dophilous from GI Pro Health. Should I increase the amount? Also, I do not eat the SCD yogurt as it bothers both my skin (break out like crazy) and my lactose Intolerance does not allow me to eat it.

Thank you all!!
