[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The only thing I can throw in is that the spray bottle isn't nearly as good as a 5 min or longer soak. Then barely pat dry and seal the moisture in.

I think there may be a typo, I hope that you have eliminated eggs from your diet while breastfeeding after she reacted? Eggs tend to be a food allergy that correlates highly with eczema. Something like 40% of eczema has a food allergy trigger, in her case that is clearly part of the story. I'd try going top 8 free for a month and see what happens. Soy and wheat too.

I was a vegetarian and had to go back to eating animal protien for a while, DC was allergic to eggs, dairy, soy, shellfish and we were told to avoid nuts and seeds. She has since outgrown the allergies (we were so lucky) but it took years. When they were eliminated from my diet and hers the eczema disappeared.[/quote]

Thanks.   We'll try the 5 minute soak.   I did eliminate eggs once I realized she had an allergy.  I was vegan for about 7 weeks and her skin looked horrible during that time.   Our allergist told me to eat everything, but I stayed vegan just in case it made the eczema go away.  It didn't.  I had eggs for the first time a couple of days ago and it may have caused a flare up (hard to tell), so I'm off of eggs again.

I'm vegetarian for religious reasons and have been vegetarian since I was 5 years old so I can't go back to eating animal protein.  I'm also raising our DD vegetarian so I don't want her getting animal proteins through my milk.   It makes it hard to figure out.  Did your DD test positive for food allergens?   Our DD tested negative for dairy, soy, dust mites, pets, etc.  She only tested positive for eggs. [/quote]
