Do Foods and Eczema Have a Relationship? You Bet!

Foods and eczema have a strong relationship in my opinion. I heard several doctors, including my son's pediatrician say that foods can cause eczema flair ups. She also said nobody knows the cause of eczema. Hmmm...I strongly doubt it. That is when I turned to holistic medicine.

After playing detective and figuring out which foods to replace or change in my son's diet, and learning about nutrition and the direct impact foods have in your health, I realized there are main culprits and beneficial foods when we talk about eczema. Here are some of the most offensive and helpful foods and why.

Eczema and Milk
When I share with many people that eczema and milk are closely and directly related their jaws drop to the floor, and their first question is: "But if cow's milk maybe causing eczema why is our doctor not telling us so?"

Gluten and Eczema
Gluten and Eczema are in many cases closely related, as gluten can trigger eczema flair ups creating real discomfort.

Wheat Intolerance and Eczema
Do you know the immunoglobulin antibodies can react to one or more proteins found in wheat possibly causing eczema?

Coconut Oil Benefits
I learnt about fats and which are the ones we should consume and why. While learning I discovered coconut oil was the best source of saturated fats, and I have never looked back.

Probiotics and Eczema
Do you want to introduce an incredibly beneficial set of foods or supplements to improve your eczema? Think about probiotics. Its benefits are well documented. Here is my experience with probiotics and eczema.
