[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'll weigh in on the wheat suggestion.  My DD tested negative for everything, yet had small eczema break outs monthly.  It took four years to connect them to gluten,  which also gave her constipation.  No break outs or constipation since going GF, it's been almost two years. To me eczema is like an alarm, something is going wrong inside the body and you just have to figure it out. Also, consider soaking all of your grains to reduce phytic acid.  Fermented cod liver oil with high vitamin butter oil (FCLO/HVBO) might be a good replacement for the fish oil - you can read some reviews on amazon.  Good luck - I hope you find some relief for DC soon. [/quote]

OP here.  I agree with your assessment that eczema is like "an alarm" but we haven't been able to figure out what is causing it.  Does your family have a history of gluten allergies?    How long did you have to stay off of gluten before you saw a difference in your DD's skin?

As I said, I'm vegetarian and I am trying to stay away from dairy, egg, and soy so staying away from gluten will be really hard.  I can try doing it, but I'm curious to know how long you did it. Thanks! [/quote]

It was about a month, I think. Although her chronic constipation cleared within a couple of weeks.  I also have a gluten sensitivity, and went GF at the same time as DD.  Being GF is really not as bad as most people think since there are so many GF options these days, albeit not cheap. I second the nutritionist idea (or registered dietician), they can be extremely helpful with dietary adjustments. [/quote]
