[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I think it’s very telling that Americans would rather smear their children with steroids instead of laying off the Doritos and whatever fell into the vat at the Kraft factory.[/b] I battled on and off horrible eczema for 20 years due to a gluten and dairy allergy and then topical steroid withdrawal in my late twenties for two years because my parents were told food allergies couldn’t possibly be causing my skin issues and to just smear on more creams. Children don’t NEED junk, they eat it because parents are lazy and don’t want to cook. Kids are perfectly fine with fresh fruit and vegetables and meat and fish. An apple and some carrot sticks is a snack, not Pirates Booty and granola bars that have more sugar that a Snickers. The western diet is killing all of us slowly, the rest of the world sees it, Americans just refuse to admit it. [/quote]

This made me laugh and is unfortunately true. I am with you, I had eczema as a kid and it sucked and I wish I’d made the dietary connection sooner than my 20s. I am eczema free now and can still eat smaller amounts of dairy but not nearly as much as before. I still shudder thinking of the ever present, greasy steroid creams of my youth[/quote]

There's so much idiocy on this thread. OP says her kid can't eat "wheat, dairy, eggs, corn, tomatoes, chocolate, nuts, preservatives, annatto, sorbitol"

Ok so no Kraft cheese for her kid. But no wheat? No dairy? No eggs? I'm one of the PPs with kids with eczema. Contrary to what you people think I don't actually load my kids up with Fruit Loops. But guess what? Wheat, dairy, eggs, corn, tomatoes and nuts are actually healthy foods! Or are we supposed to eliminate all of that as well?

OP sounds like she has orthorexia and Munchausen's by proxy quite frankly. [/quote]
