We've struggled with my 1yo son's eczema since he was 3 months old. Not knowing any better, we put and kept him on steroid creams for more than 6 months, twice a day, per his pediatricians advice. He completely quit growing, not only that, but he quit having wet diapers and was hospitalized, which could or could not have had anything to do with steroids, he quit progressing. At 9 months old he couldn't even sit up, between 6 and 9 months old, he went from weighing 18lbs to 15lbs. We were so upset and had no idea what to do. I did research and the first thing I did was throw the steroids out the door, the second thing was find a new pediatrician. Since then we've been on a "quest" of sorts to figure out what we could do for him. We've had him allergy tested, and he is allergic to many things. Since being off the steroids he has slowly caught up, but is still very small for his age, and still having trouble walking. Thank you, thank you for all your advice....I've read so much all over the internet, but nobody has ever laid it out as clearly as you have. I'm looking forward to trying out several of your reccomendations.

Due to several mishaps this weekend my 2 yod ended up eating some homemade ice cream. It took 3 days but the eczema came back with a vengeance today. It was bad enough that when he got a bug bite last night, he body was so overrun with the toxins from the ice cream that his little hand swelled up to twice it's size. I ended up at the dr this morning. I am so thankful for her because she very holistic in her approach to medicine. She's just as baffled over his issues as I am simply because we don't vaccinate, he's never received antibiotics, and our diet is pretty good. Anyway, I have been walking through much of what you are talking about for a long time with other children and now him. It was just so well timed to let me know that I do not walk through these issues alone. There are others who are struggling and wrestling as well.

It is a good thing that it is discovered early so parents can avoid any accidents in the future. Eczema is normally discovered with children that are newly born.

I emailed you a while back asking for help for my 1 year old son. Since then I have been doing what you described in this post--eliminating the most common allergens and slowly adding them back in. At one point we were down to just veggies and rice, as I had no idea what was causing his eczema! I am still nursing, so that was his major source of nutrition. I have figured out that he has a reaction to sesame and perhaps soy sauce (I use it occasionally in stir-frys). His eczema is slowly clearing up and right now just looks like patches of dry skin. I am so thankful! I am continuing to be careful about what I give him. I have stopped buying any pretzels and crackers. I know sesame is in alot of processed foods or they are processed on the same line, so I will have to be careful. Thanks again for all the help! Thank you Stephanie for all the helpful insights.
