      BTW, several years ago, my girl developed a mix of eczema and fungus after she started wearing a pair of fake crocs.


      On hindsight, I believe that there must have been chemical used that triggered that episode.

      Sometimes it just needed some chemical to trigger it. These days, the detergents we use contains all sorts of chemical…and enzymes to speed up chemical reactions. Some of us may just react more adversely to them.

        yes, agreed.
        That is why I'm using a non chemical, biodegradable and environmentally friendly detergent that is good and useful for the family.
        It is also effective in cleaning and leave a nice fragrance after wash.

                    My son was suffering from eczema for 2yrs(5 to 6yrs). Now he is 9yrs old n fully recovered, no relapse.


                    I feel balanced diet is very impt.I also included flaxseed into his diet, for e.g. flaxseed into his meatball. I also add "goji" into his porridge n soup. Goji is very good for liver & kidney(detoxify toxin)

                    Apart from that, i give him probiotics,fish oil & EPO.

                      Elomet is a very effective cream for ecezma though not recommended for long term. if the child’s ecezma is very bad, avoiding steriod totally because of the side effects is not a very good idea to my opinon. He or she will b tormented by the itch and as they scratch, it could worsen whole condition and the scratching becomes a habit. Try elomet to improve and stop once much better…then diet to prevent it coming back. From my experience, below are 2 important friends of ecezma…

                      No. 1 killer-sugar
                      No. 2 killer - processed or deep fried foods
                      There may b others such as dairy products and seafood.
                      Limiting sugars means not only sugar or sweets. It means stopping all white bread as well. FOODS like cakes, white bread,coke, french fries, bubble tea, fried chicken, hot dogs are No!!no!!

                        I think what to avoid depends on what the triggers of eczema are for the individual. Eliminating items needlessly just makes life more difficult for everyone. I used to suffer from quite severe eczema (from contact with certain allergens) which I managed to control without any dietary adjustments at all. I still eat all the items you mention without getting eczema.
