Excema

[Guest guest]

I personally suffererd from extreemly bad Excema at the age of thirteen. So bad

that 30% of my feet were literally raw flesh. The itching was so bad I could

not resist scratching the open sores and worsening the condition. The only

thing that would help were products with Coal Tar. I have not seen any of these

around lately and was wondering if perhaps Coal Tar was taken off the market for

some reason.

Tegrin cream was one product.

Hope this helps.

Re: systemic symptoms

,

is also going through a case of exzema on her legs and

arms right now. It itches her sometimes. I have a prescription cream

for it, but it doesnt seem to do much.

Its seem every year around this time is when she gets it. I dont

think its the cold weather , because it hasnt got to cold here in

Florida. This has been going on since she was two years old.(Now

8years old) Her legs get red with little pimple like bumps. And it

comes and goes. It is not the jra rash, that looks different. But I

think it is related some how to the jra.

Also when was little before she could even talk she

would wake up crying. When she got a little older she would point to

her legs and cry. The doctor would say it was growing pains. I

remember when she was 3 I would put her in a hot tub in the middle of

the night because her leg cramps were so bad. Now I am wondering if

it was the jra all the time. She wasnt diagnosed with systemic jra

till she was 5. B

Amy - very easy to treat. Just put him on a grain free diet. No oranges

of course and no other avoids either. If he is willing, he can get rid

of it. Simple as that, although I have a feeling that he may resist.

Love

Excema

My O father has been diagnosed with Excema. Has anyone out there

sufferered

from this, and got good results when following the BTD? Any other

thoughts

suggestions would be helpful.

I think someone on the GAPShelp list recently reported excema showing up in her baby after starting the diet. Also, we are now in stage 2 of the intro, and it is rather underwhelming. I am used to cooking everything from scratch 3 times a day. Now, I'm just keeping a pot of stock going almost all the time and making soups which are really easy and are even better left over. Adding one thing at a time really lets you build up to all the preparation/cooking.MelindaFrom: millersonbroad <rn.miller1@...>Subject: [ ] excema Date: Monday, August 18, 2008, 6:53

Hi, has anyoe experienced excema as a de-tox reaction after starting

the diet? I put my kids on full GAPS about 3 weeks ago, I did not do

the intro diet as I had never heard of it, I was just going by the

book. My DD7 now has excema, which could be a reaction to the

salicylates on the diet, or just de-tox? Any thoughts?

We have a lot of stress going on in the house here at the moment and I

just can't get my head around doing the intro diet at the moment. I

don't know what to do.

Thanks a lot

Hi . Yes, eczema can be a die-off symptom since it is caused by

toxins coming out through the skin. To minimize such reactions cut

back on the amount of antifungals, and slowly increase them (every 5

days or so).

Let me know how she does.

Thanks Bee, and to , no, she is not on anti-biotics. Why do you

ask??

Melinda,

That was real wise advice. I had heard that from Millie too. At

first I was overwhelmed until I started focusing on learning one new

thing at a time. I think for me it was the fear of if I could do it

and have it turn out ok and if I would have enough time. Once I made

up my mind to go forward, God's grace kicked in (!) and it is easier

to take on new things now since I can look back and see how it wasn't

as hard as I had thought it would be. Hope that makes sense!

Also, you ladies here have been a great encouragement. That has been

perhaps the greatest help. So many of you being patient with me,

allowing me to ask questions twice even and answering them anyway!!

I am grateful for you all,

Tina

My son is developing a bad case of excema. He has never had too much of a

problem with this in the past. Is excema a sign of yeast growth or die-off?

Thanks,

At my house, it meant food intolerance. Some parents report that it is caused

by yeast overgrowth for their children. There are a few other causes, but these

are the most common.

Hi Lana,

In the book " Everything You Need to Know About Enzymes " on page 149-150 there

are 3 different enzyme products recommended. As I list them and their purpose,

you can try and determine what you think would be best for you. DigestGold, Lypo

Gold, and Virastop.

-High Potency Digestive Formula with every meal

Purpose: To radically enhance the digestion and assimilation of food while

reducing the body's need to produce digestive enzymes.

-High Lipase Formula three times daily between meals with essential fats such as

flax oil or fish oil

Purpose: To improve fat digestion and metabolism, as well as the health of the

cardiovascular system.

-High Protease Formula three time daily

Purpose: To help support immune function and assist in removing viruses, fungal

forms, toxins, bacteria, and heavy metals.

Interestingly enough, the other members made mention to things such as digestive

issues, inflammatory/immune imbalance, and essential fatty acids. All of the

above products were made for these three issues. I hope this helps and PLEASE

feel free to contact me with any questions/concerns.
