My EC just hit me again after a little over a year of basically minimal EC. I used the Hylands Calendula Ointment during that time multiple times per day and it seemed to basically stop the inflammation and build up. But it might just have been a coincidence.
So now I'm back with very inflamed lips and build up / peeling.
Your post sounds great. I think I tried going gluten free for a few weeks some years ago when I first got this condition, but I don't think I did it for more then a few weeks and I'm not sure if I catigorically avoided all gluten. I'm kind of in a desperate state at the moment so I might go completely gluten free myself for a while.
Keep us updated with your progress! Thanks for sharing.
