Hey there moms! My almost 3 year old daughter has eczema and we have been to a dermetoligist and an allergist. She has been through a lot of testing sence she was 9 months old. I just feel as though we are running in circles. Everytime she gets a new allergy test done she is showing that she has an allergy to new things and the old things that poped positive before are now neg. Any advice you have would be great. I feel soooooo bad because there isn't much we can do for her and I hate to keep her on steroids all the time. Thank you in advance~

What can I do next?

We use Derma-Soothe Body Oil for my son. (He's 15 months old and has eczema around his ankles and his hands pretty bad.) The ped. said it was fairly mild... I find it quite effective. (Mommy even shares because I have spots of eczema, too.)
If you can find a homeopathic doctor, there is a sprayable oil concoction they can make that is equally effective. I've used it, too.
Best luck, I know how miserable this can be for you both.

Hello,
Sorry it took so long for me to respond. I am in school for holistic nutrition and am a certified Dr. Sears L.E.A.N. Coach. I know that most often eczema stems from a fungal infection or overgrowth of yeast in the body. The more drugs (antibiotics, steroids) you keep her on the further you weaken her immune system and the more the yeast take over. There are many things you can do nutritionally and I would be happy to speak to you about that. You can start by eliminating all sugar as sugar feeds yeast. Often times it could be a wheat or dairy sensitivity as well. She needs a good probiotic to replenish the lost good bacteria and to fight the yeast. She also needs a good omega 3 supplement and a whole foods supplement. I can help you with all of these. I would also suggest finding a holistic dr. as the regular pediatricians seem to only know how to write scripts for the symptoms but don't treat the underlying cause. If you tell me where you live maybe I can help with that.

Healthy Regards,

Get her off the steroids, it will only conflict her immune system. Check with a homeopathic physician in your area (where are you so I can refer someone to you) and also check for wool, feathers, (do you have pets?) and change your a/c filter monthly. Look at your laundry detergent and bath soaps.
Ask your pediatrician or homepathic physician for a good immune system booster. Zinc, goldenseal and vitamin C are important minerals/vitamins for the body. Just cannot tell you what dose.

I work from home with a wellness company that sells healthier alternatives to leading brand cleaning,body and bath,hair care, makeup and over the counter drug products that you buy every month in the grocery stores. I started out as a consumer of the products, fell in love with them and started working with the company. My reason for turning to a healthier environment and lifestyle is my 7 month old daughter. I want to make her environment at home safe by cutting out the amonia and the bleach and the other harmful chemicals that are in cleaning and hygiene products, but at the same time get the same outcome if not better. I am very passionate about talking about the products because I use them myself. I have referred people to these products that have certain health problems,like asthma,allergies,diabetes, and skin problems which have ceased since using these environmentally safe products.
