Has anyone fixed their eczema through fixing their gut?
My son had serious eczema as a reaction to eggs. He had a patch that stayed no matter what, though. Mind you, he’s just a baby so this big patch was there for 5 months even though many other patches went away after quickly removing eggs from his diet. I’ve used a probiotic program from LoveBug since he was born and at 11 months I switched him to the Toddler product, which has more bacterial strains and CFUs. Within days the eczema patch was gone and a couple weeks I reintroduced eggs with zero reaction! It may come back, but so far his eczema is gone with assisting his gut with certain strains - so I believe it’s possible! B. Lactis, L. Casei, B. Longum, L. Paracasei, L. Rhamnosuis GG, L. Reuteri, B. Infantis, L. Gasseri are all the strains in his current probiotic. More on reddit.com

It might be less about what you are eating and more about what you AREN'T eating. That diet sounds incredibly restrictive so I wouldn't be surprised if the baby was missing some key nutrients for gut function (ie retinol, copper). More on reddit.com

May 10, 2024A lot of my eczema symptoms seem linked to a compromised gut microbiome. Has anyone tried this recipe?
No, for me all the "heal your gut" is just a pseudoscience with no evidence.
Seems like they just associate it will all disease now.
"Have depression, heal your gut."
"Got cancer, heal your gut."
Edit. Him being a chiropractor and not a MD just reinforced it.

Working on it, took a flucanazole (anti fungal/anti yeast) prescription med once for a yeast infection and my eczema cleared up immediately . That's when I know my gut must have overgrowth of fungus and yeast that's exacerbating my eczema. Modified diet to things that don't promote growth of candida which is basically dairy and excess sugar. Slowly seeing the difference
