No, however, I'm finally getting rid of my eczema, and my son's too.bornamachine said:post 101194 OP, have you done a fasting iron panel test?
I found out I'm allergic / intolerant to citric acid.
Citric acid is a preservative, it's everywhere, and my vitamin-B complex had some (found new brand).
Citric acid is also in a lot of fruits naturally (oranges, lemons, tomatoes, mainly).
Peat mentioned citric acid being a common allergen, he was probably referring to the preservative (which is not made from citrus juice). Citric acid allergy is a known cause of eczema. (well, probably not known enough, right?)
If I avoid all citric acid I feel very well, I'm not bloated, breathe well, and I'm also losing weight while eating a lot. I eat constantly, small portions. My skin is almost back to normal.
Other things I did:
- epsom salts baths
- homemade magnesium oil
- vit B without additives
- Vitamin E
- OYSTERS, fresh (nickel allergy - cans)
- small portions of liver, almost daily
- no potatoes
- Protecting my skin constantly, made my own cream, used gloves when necessary
- some steroid cream just while it finishes healing (it doesn't itch anymore)
- I also gave my son some benadryl at night, his rash was extreme - it worked
- having a very SIMPLE diet and listening to my body, checking to see if something I ate generates itching or bloating - usually I know in 30 minutes
- my diet consists of milk, white rice, homemade organic chicken broth, raw carrot, meat, cooked apples, sugar, coffee, cheese, watermelon, masa harina tortillas, ripe bananas. That's about it, no exceptions for a while.
- reintroducing some homemade organic white bread (bio white flour is ok for citric acid allergy, but not whole wheat
- seems that shrimps are sprayed with citric acid on the boat. And avoid frozen fish for now
Still have to test 1% milk vs full fat milk, and eggshell powder. I don't mind eating so "minimal" as long as I feel great.
Overall I'M FEELING GREAT FINALLY!!!!
