There's some sample meals plans on Robb's site. That's the sort of stuff I tend to eat - meat/fish/vegetables/salad. This site: www.marksdailyapple.com Has a regular meals feature, which is pretty cool. My eczema now is under control. My skin is effectively normal, but the eczema comes back if I str...

Quorn? That's interesting. I found that my eczema had a strong link to fungal/yeast elements, and so I avoided foods that would feed fungal growth - such as sugars, sweet fruits, and starches, and also foods that were based around fungus - such as mushrooms. This worked, and has adapted over the yea...

Brooke,

Really sorry to hear that your eczema is bad again.

Can I ask what it is you're eating, again? Did you say salad and vegetable meats?

A strong word of caution, though. If you're thinking of modifying your diet by removing various elements, make sure you're discussing this openly with your doctor and parents. You can't remove certain parts of your diet and not replace them with sensible alternatives, particularly if you have other ...

The skin crawling feeling is exactly how I used to describe the feeling I used to have. Eventually the eczema covered most of my body, and when it's all crawling it's not pleasant - I know. I eventually found it was down to anything high-carbohydrate. So that's sugars or starches - that includes any...

Must be really difficult for you... Because your son is exclusively breastfed, in theory he should be getting his immunity cues from you as you're saying. You don't have contact with milk - so that's out. Have you perhaps considered eliminating some other common allergens such as grains - particular...

You've said I'm preaching - and you're possibly right. If so, I apologise. I *am* passionate about this, and feel that people should know, certainly. And surely that's what forums like this are about? The title of this thread is "PLEASE HELP ME?!" after all... :) We can argue about semanti...

Jim, It sounds like you're on the right track to me. Have you seen my post in the other thread about diet and eczema? I switched to the Paleo diet to combat my unbearable eczema and it worked. Leaky gut certainly seems to be a cause for many people with chronic eczema problems. Supplementing amino a...

Ian, What's the difference between a cure and not having flare-ups any more? Surely it's effectively the same thing? If I revert to the old diet, the eczema comes back. I've done it twice and I'm not doing it again. And having kept a detailed food diary, I can assure you it's not a single foodstuff,...

Ian, I think you're misunderstanding me somewhat. My question goes deeper than just the skin - why does your son's skin react to all these things when other people's doesn't? Two of the things you mention - stress and lack of sleep - directly affect cortisol production, which is linked to immune sys...
