[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP maybe you need a second opinion. My DD has bad food-triggered eczema and the allergist sAys the best thing we can do is a very intense cream + bathing regimen and encouraging all of the foods even the trigger foods. She says this is the best way DD can grow out of the allergies. [/quote]

I can't believe only one person has brought this up. Both of my kids have severe eczema, as do many family members. We have seen lots of doctors and our allergist has always said to eat normally and treat the eczema. Not eating the trigger foods makes it worse, their bodies need to get used to them and that's how they eventually outgrow them. OP, you need a second opinion and frankly the fact that you are depriving your kid of all of these foods when that's not the standard medical advice gives me major pause here. [/quote]

You might want to get a second opinion yourself - guidance has changed a lot. If you constantly eat something that inflames your system it’s bad for you and your body needs a break.

If your eczema flares clear easily with this approach and you don’t mind constantly medicating then I guess go ahead. But that doesn’t make other people crazy to favor a proactive approach vs reactive, especially if they have more severe symptoms that have a bigger impact on their day to day life.[/quote]
