RE: eczema treatment for 6 month old?

[Guest guest]

I am suing organic coconut oil and vanicream right now. It seems to help,

but the diet changes are best.

To prevent: We soak in warm water then apply

dermarrest its good.

if there is already a rash we use steroid cream called

fluticasone it is a script.

Son had an AWFUL eczema rash yesterday, told me his

brother " shared " chocolate with him!!! he's covered in

bumps all over his torso, thighs/knees, arms from

shoulder to elbow. It's like sandpaper. I only put

the dermarrest on him - going to use the steroid today

if its still there.

he had cradle crap real bad as a baby - the ped at the

time, who wasn't so good, told us to soak him in baby

oil. we did, and the scabs came off, he wasn't as

itchy, but since she wasn't so good take it with a

grain of salt. I'm not sure if baby oil is good or

bad.

My son had eczema when he was young. We used Aquafor which is like

jelly but it worked until we took the dairy out of my son's diet.

Once we went dairy free the eczema was gone. He has been dairy free

for over three years and hasn't broken out once since. =)

My 2.5 y-o has bad eczema on his legs and lower back. The GFCF diet helped,

but now I'm finding that taking enzymes is helping even more. Our

pediatrician always gave me a strong cortisone cream for it when my son was

a baby. Now he's on Elidel, but I think the child has to be at least 2 to

use Elidel. I also like Cetaphil cream (not lotion) and actually now I'm

using the recipe for the epsom salt cream, which seems to help.

Oh, and fruit seem to cause a flare up in him, so I may try No-Phenol soon.

Good luck!

– Thanks for sharing your food allergy story. So interesting and so

hope that is my nt son. I would love to see him eat more foods.

A few things to share with you. My guy allergic to peanuts and soy, we

thought he was ok with like green beans and peas, well, he’s not. Just

watch out. All beans, soy, are part of the legume family. Not all testing

is 100% accurate either. Just a heads up there for ya! Our first ana

reaction, peas!

Eczema – we had issues as a baby on breast milk even. I can honestly say,

not one spot of eczema for years. If we do see any scratching or itching,

there is no doubt in my mind it is 100% food related. My dad let him eat a

snickers bar, nice hey, this past halloween. Boy did we see the hives and

scatching, no eczema after, surprised. So just a thought there too.

Welcome and I so hope my son can eat more soon. I’m going to get up to full

doses of enzymes and then start with dairy first!

Thanks

Tammy

For our 1 year old, we wash with cetaphil and then put on eucerin cream. This

has kept it

at bay. But his facial eczema only really got better when we added probiotics

and cod liver

oil. He still has it on his lower legs, and a big slathering of eucerin under

pants before bed

keeps it OK.

We have been gluten-free, casein-free and soy-free, becuase our older child is,

but with

our 1 year old there have been minor infractions from time to time. Our new

integrated

pediatrician said we should be strict with the diet and also eliminate eggs for

2-3 weeks

and see if it helps.

You can do Bioset or NAET to eliminate and clear

allergies/intolerances. We see Dr. Harry Hong to do

this but I am learning some on my own as we go. My

son has an IgE allergy to eggs, and we resolved it

with Dr. hong in 48 hours! He now eats eggs with no

worry!...and a slueth of other things.

Just my two cents again! about how wonderful this

protocal can be. I had purchased every cream known to

man before this with no relief until we resolved the

issue inside.
