OP here. Thank you all for such wonderful suggestions!

For those of you whose kids had allergies (or food related eczema), did your kids also have tummy and GI issues?  My friend who is a derm says that she only things eczema is food related if your kid also has GI issues.  Our DD has no GI issues so I didn't think it was food related.  [/quote]

No, you can just have eczema as a food allergy symptom. Allergies can have many symptoms. Your DD has positive blood and skin tests to eggs and a food challenge through bmilk confirmed it. I'm guessing that there may be other food issues in play that have yet to be identified. You can also have eczema with no food allergies but you have seen through testing and food challenge that your DD does not fall into that category. My kids both had multiple food allergies and we never had GI issues.

Corn allergy can cause eczema.

Since you are vegetarian, you have to be able to eat something. Here is what I might do. She didn't clear when you were off milk for weeks and she has tested negative for milk. If you can eat dairy, that is your protein, along with beans and nutritional yeast. I'd try cutting things that you didn't cut before - soy, wheat and corn. Add lots of healthy fats to your diet in the meantime, good for both of you - coconut, avacado, and Barleans has a "fish oil" product (refrigerator case at WF near probiotics) that is vegan, berry flavored and tasty.
