hi,
my son has suffered from eczema for 2yrs.I've tried tons of lotions,cleansers..etc...We spent AUS$300 plus whenever we traveled to australia(coz there r more varieties & cheaper lotions over in australia).
But those lotions/cleansers can only prevent the eczema gets worse,yet couldn't cure it.So I switched him to special diets.And now,he is cleared from eczema..completely....Here r what i did for his diet:
1) Try to cook organic food as far as possible.
2) Include antioxidant food such as red onion,garlic,brocoli in his diet.
3) Feed him with more "colourful" food...such as "white"=cauliflower,"green"=brocolli,"red"=tomato,"yellow"=pumpkin.
4) Give him vitamins & supplement= Multivitamin(make sure no colour/preservative/gluten),probiotics,omega..etc
5) Moisturizing after bath n whenever he feels itchy.
6) change his bedsheet,pillow cases diligently.
7) make sure he drinks plenty of water & no soft drink nor any type of colouring drink.
8) include flaxseed oil/olive oil in cooking.
9) try to eat home-cooked food
10)eat lots of fruits such as grapes,apples,oranges,berries,kiwi,papaya,banana.
if my son rejects certain fruit such as papaya,I'll make it into juice with other fruits such as apples.
well,it is a long journey...but I am glad he is happy boy without suffering from itchness.
