Eczema Support Group
Eczema is a form of inflammation of the upper layers of the skin. The main symptoms are skin rashes characterized by redness, skin edema, itching and dryness, with possible crusting, flaking, blistering, cracking, oozing or bleeding. Eczema can be extremely physically and socially uncomfortable. If you're an eczema sufferer, join the group and get support.
Hope you continue to see improvement for yourself and get the results you are looking for!
They make probiotics for lactose intolerant people.
They won't do it alone though. Luck up key words leaky gut syndrome and probiotics..
I will post some herbs if anyone is interested.
Keep hearing food alergy. Maybe allergies are not the cause but a symptom?

No really, you're too kind.
This is a hug to stix24 from you;

I was there last week, it's the worst. Now clear and back to 'normal' (had to take antibiotics though). Plenty of salt baths. Keep fighting it, it will heal.
Yes, I did take antibiotics on that occasion (I had to, I was in trouble), that was the first time in 30 years. So I feel it is painting an accurate portrait for me say characterize myself as 'never' taking antibiotics.
1/4 scoop (daily) GNC: Digestive Health Powder(AWESOME PRODUCT). It contains prebiotics, PRObiotics and digestive enzymes that help breakdown and absorb the nutrients from your food better. All your organs improve especially the largest one that takes more vitamins... YOUR SKIN. Take a product like this for about a week. You may be VERY surprised at the improvement.
Note you should be taking a multivitamin and fish oil along with a good diet that includes fruits, veggies, lean meat, long grains and water.
Oh yeah, take warm.. not hot showers since the heat pulls more moisture out of the skin.
Probiotics helped clear up about 80% of my kid's eczema in less than a week. I had to do the research to find this information since all the doctors only suggested lotion that did NOT clear up the problem. See your doctor to find out if probiotics can help you.
Please let me know if this worked for you.

Bacteria and Eczema: Eczema is an Immune System Disorder (atopy), and 75% of your Immune System is found in your Gastrointestinal Tract where 3 to 4 pounds of bacteria reside.
Let me know if this info helped you.
I hope it does.
Either way I wish you well.
PS Body pH makes since .. if you have urinary track infection (UTI) you drink cranberry juice which is highly acidic to kill bacteria and get rid of the infection.
