Re: Finally on the Path to Healing these zombie lips
Hi sorry it took so long. So here's my response:
My diet is very simple because I'm still learning what I can and cannot eat.
I'm also testing more foods, so I don't have to eat the same thing all the time.
I eat this Monday - Friday:
Morning
4 scoops of trader joes organic pea protein
2 organic bananas
1 scoop organic cacao(chocolate) powder
1 cup of organic milk
Lunch
2 trader joe's organic sockeye salmon fillets
2 cups organic mixed vegetables with sazon
Dinner
1/2 lbs organic ground turkey
2 cups organic mixed vegetables with sazon
3x trader joe's organic brown eggs
On the weekends I eat this pizza from Trader Joe's:

for dinner and for bruch(breakfast+lunch) i'll eat eggs and trader joes organic oatmeal.
I used tacrolimus before starting this diet, my lips would build up deadskin and
peel every 10-20 hours. Once I started eating organically my lips peeled every 3-4 days
the first 2 weeks i began my diet.
From what I remember my dermatologist saying, tacrolimus can't fix the problem; it only
suppresses the immune system response.
My EC symptoms return when I come into contact with my
triggers: Citrus, TBHQ, Octyl Gallate. The symptoms are as follows:
* very dry lips
* peeling lips -- mainly the bottom lip, top lip is almost completely unaffected
Symptoms return fairly quick
Food doesn't inflame my lips and neither sex
As a side note my dermatologist recommended this toothpaste:
