Re: Please help- My 23 month old has severe eczema and its getting worse! Need advice

Sarah,

I hope you all are well -- and that 2008 is a rewarding one for you all!

I am just reading some of these old posts and wanted to add two foods that you might consider -- apple cider vinegar and kefir. ACV is great topically and also our girls love it in salad dressing. Kefir has a slightly stronger taste than yogurt, but is supposed to be even better than yogurt cultures, too. I am not sure if you all eat dairy but if you do, kefir is worth considering.

I read about the shark oil and I am pretty convinced that a good fish-oil supplement will be just as beneficial, especially given your religious guidelines.

I would definitely try the coconut oil and the other thing that is great is iodine...have you looked at the Iodine forum for info on Iodine and eczema? Loads.

Take care!

Laura
