Lily's eczema flares up bad if I have white bread but not brown bread like multigrain or wheatmeal, etc. What's in white bread that isn't in the rest?
We initially thought it was cheese/dairy but that just seems to upset her bowel motions and we discovered it was white bread.

My DD seems to suffer from this, thought it might be a teeny dose, but now she's getting it increasingly worse. Is 12 weeks old, EBF so it must be something in my diet. I dont eat anything excessively argh. Plunket tomorrow then heading to the doc later in the week to see what their advice is.

So do you guys reccomend cutting dairy from bubs diet to improve excema?
Clodagh is still BF but has psoriasis type excema all over her trunk, poor kid  it deosn't seem to itch but man it looks bad. She has 'regular' itchy excema on her face and head though.
We had her skin prick tested and she reacted immediately to egg white and less so to cats and dust lol. We are waiting to see a dermatologist as I'm sure she is senstive to dairy or wheat...but I'm loathe in some ways to start cutting things out of her diet as she is a vegetarian and already can't eat egg....
Sigh. Maybe trying soy versions would be ok...how long does it take to show an improvement and do you need to cut ALL traces of just the 'striaght' milk and yogurt from her diet IYKWIM?

Does she have the mucousy poohs? That is a huge thing that dairy is upsetting them.
Did she not react on a skin prick to Dairy or Soy?

A&C- they didn't test her for those things!!! We orginally went cos I thought she had a problem with pollens as I do, and at that stage she was having tiny bits of milk and seemed ok.... so they didn't bother testing her for those or fish (cos she's vegetarian). However on the occasions I have had fish (which isn't often), she seems to get an upset tummy so grrr I wish I had've insisted they test for everything!!
I'm hoping the dermatologist will test her for these things when we see him.

Wonder why not when they tested for egg. Bizarre!
Yeah that is hard if she's a vegetarian. I take it she's fine on a dairy formula or are you exclusively b/fing her?
We haven't been able to cut out more until I got Neocate, I found I have had to cut out 100% dairy, soy & wheat. On the flip side there isn't much food he will eat either.
Go to your GP and ask for a RAST test for both of you & get it done all all the foods and pollen type things.

Emmecat my son is allergic to dairy and egg (and cats and dogs) so we cut all dairy out of his diet. He was covered in eczema just like your wee girl, and we found that even after we cut everything out of his diet his skn didn't actually clear until we used some antihistimine (histafen) and a stronger hydrocortisone (still only 1%, but we were only using 0.5% before that) for a few days. Almst like the cycle needed to be broken with some meds even though he wasn' t having the foods any more? Not sure if that makes any sense lol.
Anyway, being dairy free really isn't that hard once you are used to it. We use rice milk (has calcium added so it's got the same amount as normal milk), he has that in porridge in the morning, and we make custard with it. And has soy yoghurt too. For baking you can just use dairy free spread (like golden harvest or olivani) and rice milk to replace butter and normal milk.
Oh and (sorry, rambling a bit), we cut ALL dairy out of his diet, so nothing with any dairy. But with egg he can have it in baking but not by itself. It depends how bad the allergy is...
Hope that helps a little bit. Sorry for the novel, I just had such a terrible time with my boy's eczema so want to try to help people who have the same problem!
