My experience with eczema lasted the first two decades of my life. The itchiness and the dry cracked skin was just awful. However, I haven’t had a flare-up in years thanks to diet and lifestyle changes. In addition to this, I’ve worked with hundreds of clients over the years with moderate to severe eczema and talked to many mamas with infants suffering from eczema because it is a very common skin condition. Most western medical doctors do not know how to treat eczema because they do not address the root cause and instead resort to creams, medications and even bleach baths. All of these conventional solutions do nothing more than temporarily take away symptoms and may cause harm to the delicate skin biome (the millions of bacteria living on your skin!). Side note: Have you tried our soothing Body Butter yet? It’s been getting rave reviews for soothing dry, itchy skin and eczema patches!
I’m happy to tell you it is possible to heal from this terrible inflammatory skin condition naturally.
I’ve been writing my new ebook The Eczema Healing Kit for the last few months and I’m absolutely joyous to be able to share this information with you so that you can heal your skin from within!
Something I touch on in my ebook is foods that promote inflammation in the body. Due to the fact that eczema is an inflammatory based condition, is it imperative to eliminate inflammatory provoking foods.
In this post, I share with you 7 common foods (and food categories) that can make eczema worse. There is no one single food that can be solely blamed for eczema, but rather your overall diet and lifestyle can contribute to the development and severity of this condition.
COW’S DAIRY
When it comes to any skin issues (especially eczema), the first food or food group that should be eliminated is pasteurized dairy. This is because your run-of-the-mill cow’s milk dairy can be pro-inflammatory in the body, especially pasteurized or homogenized dairy, such as cow’s milk, which contains large protein molecules that are difficult to digest.
While I don’t believe all dairy (such as goat and sheep dairy) has to eliminated forever, it’s helpful to eliminate it completely for a month if you are suffering from eczema and then gradually reintroduce specific foods to determine if dairy actually is the issue. I suffered from eczema in the past but have been able to re-introduce goat and sheep milk (still in moderation) because it contains less of the alpha s1 casein that typically causes inflammatory skin issues. But again, if there are no improvements in your skin, I would suggest eliminating all dairy for good.

Dairy products may also cause damage to the intestinal lining. When the lining of our digestive tract is damaged, it creates tiny holes that allow food particles to enter the bloodstream, which can lead to allergic reactions and sensitivities.
I talk about the connection to food allergies/food sensitivities and eczema in my newest Eczema Healing Guide. If you’re cutting out dairy altogether, some dairy-free and eczema-friendly foods would be: almond milk , nut cheese, hummus /guacamole (awesome on a wrap) or coconut yogurt.
SUGAR AND REFINED CARBOHYDRATES
I’m sure you all know by now that sugar and refined carbohydrates don’t need to take up much space in our diet. They don’t support or build health in any way and instead, can prevent us from reaching joyous health! The problem is that sugar is hiding in everything including condiments (especially ketchup), pre-packaged salad dressings (it’s actually way tastier to make your own, by the way! ) and even canned diced tomatoes (certain brands at least).
ADVERTISEMENT
Sugar is pro-inflammatory in the body and inflammation is a contributing factor to eczema. But more importantly, eczema has been found in cases where bad gut bacteria and fungus , such as candida, are present in the gut. Candida albicans (it’s proper name) is an opportunistic fungus in the form of yeast that feeds off of sugar. In small amounts, candida isn’t a great concern but it’s when it overproduces that we start seeing adverse effects on our skin and along the intestinal lining which can lead to an even greater contributor to eczema known as leaky gut. In fact, research shows that 70% of patients with atopic eczema were shown to have an overgrowth of Candida albicans in the gastrointestinal tract.
The best thing we can do in this case is to avoid all obvious sources of refined sugar and carbohydrates, keep natural sweeteners to a minimum and avoid the things that contribute to candida overgrowth such as antibiotics and chronic inflammation by avoiding pro-inflammatory foods . Plus, naturally sweetened treats like my Apricot Tahini Squares or Chocolate Breakfast Bark are simply way tastier!
GLUTEN
Just like other common allergens, gluten (the protein that can be found in wheat, barley, rye, kamut and spelt) has been shown to contribute to eczema symptoms and act as a trigger for flare-ups. In fact, one 2015 study examined 17 people with non-celiac gluten sensitivity who suffered from skin issues (i.e. rashes that looked like eczema). The study found that people’s skin improved significantly within a month after having adopted a gluten-free diet. Many people experience relief of symptoms after eliminating gluten from their diet due to the absence of gliadin in their body, one of the proteins found in gluten.
Gluten has also been shown to compromise the intestinal barrier, resulting in a semi-permeable membrane otherwise known as “leaky gut” – a major cause of eczema which I talk about in my Eczema Healing Guide. The problem is that once the intestinal lining becomes permeable, undigested food particles and proteins can leak into the blood stream. These undigested food particles and proteins are considered “foreign invaders” by the immune system, which starts to mount an attack.
From there onwards, every time we consume gluten, our immune system is going to attack the proteins and cause a pro-inflammatory response.
ADVERTISEMENT
To limit inflammation in the gut overall, it’s best to avoid gluten by opting for gluten-free grains such a quinoa, millet, buckwheat, and amaranth. It may not mean you have to avoid gluten forever, but taking a break from it will certainly help you determine if it’s a problem food. Keep in mind gluten has also been known to show up in body care products too from shampoo to body wash, so it’s important to be on the look out for that as well.
SALICYLATE-CONTAINING FOODS
Salicylates are natural chemicals found in fruits, vegetables, herbs, nuts, teas, coffee, wine, beer, herbal medicine and spices. You can also find them in various topical creams and perfumes. This is when it gets tricky because as you noticed, things like fruits, vegetables, herbs, nuts, tea and spices would typically be deemed “healthy” to the general public, but for someone suffering from eczema, they can be a contributor to their eczema flare-ups.
Salicylate sensitivities can vary depending on the amount you’re consuming, making it rather tricky to determine whether you actually are sensitive to salicylates and which specific salicylate-containing food is causing a reaction. If you are sensitive to salicylates, you might experience an eczema flare up, itchy skin, hives, reflux, bloating, sleep disturbances or joint pain. These symptoms can also come along by consuming or encountering common food allergies such as dairy and gluten. For this reason, if you’re looking to identify which foods are worsening your eczema symptoms the most, I would start with the common problem foods such as wheat, dairy and sugar and then consider whether testing to identify a salicylate sensitivity might be necessary.
If it comes down to that, the best way to identify a salicylate sensitivity is to avoid consuming salicylate-rich foods from anywhere from 1-3 months and then gradually re-introduce salicylate-rich foods into your diet, taking note of any reactions. It can definitely be helpful to work with your natural health care practitioner or nutritionist during this time. But if you wish to get started or at least familiarize yourself with salicylate-containing foods, you can find out more information about Low Salicylate Diets over here.
BAD FATS
I’m a huge fan of fats in the diet, but not just any fats – healthy fats! It’s the processed bad fats such as fried foods and oxidized vegetable oils (i.e. soy, corn, cottonseed and canola) that are of concern and should always be avoided, but especially when healing eczema. In addition to these oils, it’s also important to be mindful of using any oil past its smoke point as it causes oxidation and promotes inflammation.
My favourite cooking oils for high heat are coconut oil and avocado oil. For salads, I typically use a variety that includes olive oil, flaxseed oil, hempseed oil, and pumpkin seed oil, all of which are incredibly health-promoting and delicious. These healthy oils actually do the opposite of what oxidized oils do in the body by reducing inflammation . You can learn more about the benefits of fat in the diet as well as some of my favourite healthy sources over here!
Another thing you’ll want to steer clear of is the acrylamide content in foods. Acrylamide is found in foods that are heated above 120 degrees Celsius, such as potato chips, french fries and fried foods. The levels of acrylamide have actually become such a concern that The World Health Organization has actually stated that the levels of acrylamide in food poses a “major concern” to human health. To prevent acrylamide exposure, it’s best to roast, bake or boil foods. Even a simple change like toasting your gluten-free bread lightly versus toasting it to a crisp can help to reduce your acrylamide exposure and inflammation in the body.
And while it might seem odd, if you are going to eat something that’s fried, it’s best to have to have it fried in something like duck fat which is high in monounsaturated and saturated fats which are stable for high-heat cooking. However, as we all probably know, it’s best to avoid fried foods as much as possible.
PROCESSED FOODS CONTAINING FOOD DYES, ADDITIVES, PRESERVATIVES
If you’re doing a lot of home cooking from scratch, you’re likely already avoiding a lot of these things which is amazing. It’s when we eat a heavily processed diet that we’ll be exposed to pro-inflammatory things like food dyes, additives, and preservatives. Sadly, a processed diet is where 60% of American’s daily calories come from.
What’s most scary about these food dyes, additives and preservatives is that they are so prevalent in children’s snack foods. Take a yellow lollipop for instance; what might seem like a harmless little treat given to kid’s after a doctor’s visit (of all places) actually worsens eczema symptoms in 40% of eczema sufferers. Yellow lollipops contain tartrazine (102), one of several yellow food colourings that cause this effect, along with asthma attacks, runny noses and in severe cases, anaphylactic shock. It does this by stimulating the production of pro-inflammatory leukotrienes. Unfortunately, it goes beyond candy and junk foods because even foods like yogurt and margarine (which should be avoided) can contain artificial colours that trigger eczema flare-ups.
Preservatives can also do a number on our bodies, worsening eczema symptoms in more than 50% of eczema sufferers. Preservatives are chemicals used to increase the shelf life of products by delaying the growth of bacteria and fungi. BHA and BHT are some of the main preservatives you’ll find in most foods that interfere with the body’s natural processes. A good way of keeping our exposure to these to a minimum is to buy organic whenever possible. If you want to learn more about the Dirty Dozen Food Additives, check out my new book Joyous Detox!

Soy
While there are some better forms of soy such as fermented organic soy (tamari, miso paste or tempeh ), soy is considered a common allergen and may be a cause of eczema.
In a Japanese study published in the Journal of Dermatology, researchers found that avoidance of soy-containing foods for three months significantly reduced eczema symptoms. We really have to teach ourselves to be master label readers when it comes to soy, because it is a very common food additive and hiding in many different foods.
Aside from the more well-known forms of soy such as tofu, soy milk, soy yogurt, soy ice cream, soy cheese and soy flour, you’ll also want to be on the ingredient-list-look-out when it comes to foods such as cereal, processed meats, baked goods, infant formula, Worcestershire sauce, and soy protein that vegetarians often use as a meat substitute.
The common theme and goal is to reduce our exposure to anything that increases inflammation in the body, which includes pro-inflammatory foods as well as common food allergens.
In fact, any foods that you’re sensitive to and eat all the time can cause a reaction and promote inflammation in the body
The best way to figure out which foods are contributing to your eczema is to eliminate them for several weeks up to three months to see how your skin reacts and add them in one at a time. Keep a food diary and record any reactions. Of course, things like processed foods, cow’s dairy and refined sugar might not need to be tested in such a way as we know of their negative effects in the body already, but more so the foods we typically deem as “healthy” for the general public that just might not work with your unique make up.
If you’re looking for for more guided direction on how to heal your eczema, my Eczema Healing Guide would be perfect for you!

79 thoughts on “7 Common Foods that Make Eczema Worse”
I am a nurse and see lots if eczema in my practice with formula fed infants. We use a combo of Glaxobase and vaseline after twice daily baths just patted dry. It does work. What else can you suggest?
Will your ebook be published to paper, evetually. I ask because I don’t do ebooks. And I would LOVE a copy to buy. Thanks for this info on eczema.
Hey Lynn! It will actually just be an ebook but you’re more than welcome to print it out if that suits you better 🙂 Rachel – Joyous Health Team
Hey Linda! We would recommend the Eczema Healing Balm from Province Apothecary 🙂 https://provinceapothecary.com/products/healing-eczema-balm Rachel – Joyous Health Team
So funny! I saw your talk in Kelowna last night and was going to ask you about that eczema but time ran out. Who knew this newsletter would show up the next morning 🙂 My little 20 month has had sensitive skin since he was about 2 months old… I feel like I have tried EVERYTHING from diet changes (although my family already eats very joyously, thanks to you! 🙂 ), natural/organic lotions (many of which seemed to make it worse), endless different detergents and at desperate times we resorted to less “natural” creams and prescription “crap” from the doctor because he was too flared up and itchy to sleep… fortunately and annoyingly enough they work. I’m beyond tired of lathering him up in less than joyous products and spending a bazillion dollars on natural creams/lotions hoping that this is the one that will work. I look so forward to the release of your eczema ebook! I would love any recommendations on laundry detergents, personal care products and any other tips you have. Thank you so much!
Love it! Great stuff for anyone to implement as inflammatory problems can show up as different problems person to person (acne, allergies, etc.) I was looking at the link to the Low Salicylate Diets you referenced and it’s sad that that article contradicts a lot of what you’re saying. Right off the bat, it says “It is OK to eat meat, milk, and dairy products.” And then goes on to recommend margarine and vegetable oils over things like olive oil and avocados.
Do you think that people looking at that list should ignore those contradicting suggestions and just focus more on the fruit and vegetables they recommend to avoid?
Love that you are focusing on eczema. My 7 month old son is on formula, and I fear that the cow’s milk is triggering his eczema. I wasn’t able to successfully nurse, and he’s been on formula since about 6 weeks old, which is around when his eczema got worse. Am curious if switching to a goat’s milk formula would make a difference – have been hesitant to try because we needed hypoallergenic “gentle” formula for his digestive system. Would be curious to know what you think about goat’s milk with regard to your eczema experience.
Have been a huge fan of your site for years and am super grateful for all your pre- and post-natal advice (your real talk with regard to healing after birth was much appreciated!). Thanks!
Looking forward to reading your new ebook. 🙂
Hey Kaitlin! Yes, you’re definitely spot on with the cow’s milk. As the article mentions, cow’s milk can be very inflammatory and cause eczema flare-ups. Joy initially cut out all dairy and then gradually re-introduced goat’s milk and has been fine since as goat’s milk contains 90% less of the pro-inflammatory alpha s1 casein than cow’s milk. It’s probably best to cut all dairy initially and then gradually re-introduce in the same way. As always, we do recommend you work with your natural health care practitioner on this though 🙂 There’s going to be loads of information in the Eczema Healing Guide about this too that will be of help if you wanted to get on the early bird pricing list. You can sign up here if you haven’t yet: http://bejoyo.us/eczemahealguidennSo happy to hear you have been able to take away so much from the content on Joyous Health 🙂 We’re grateful to have you in the community!nnRachel – Joyous Health Team
Hey Mashell, nnYes, exactly 🙂 The article is approaching it from a Low Salicylate Diet perspective and not taking into consideration which foods might be inflammatory or worsen eczema. Definitely avoid milk and dairy products if you are looking to heal eczema or inflammatory skin issues and follow the recommendations regarding the fruits and vegetables. Sorry if that was confusing! nnRachel – Joyous Health Team
I hope you also recommend changing the formula.
Hope you saw Rachel’s recommendation above, too.
This is fantastic. Would the same items apply for an individual that has pseriosis? Thank you
Hey Sang!nnYes, definitely! This article was written with a focus on eczema in mind but you can definitely benefit from the information in this article if you are experiencing any inflammation skin condition :)nnRachel – Joyous Health Team
Hey Janet, Yes, swapping out formula as much as possible for either a high quality alternative or breastmilk is preferred when healing from eczema but we understand it’s not always possible for people. You just have to do the best you can in each situation 🙂 Rachel – Joyous Health Team
Hey Taylor! That’s so awesome that you were able to make it out for Joy’s talk in Kelowna! It sounds like you are doing all the right things and I understand that can be frustrating when you still aren’t seeing the results you want to see. I think the Eczema Healing Guide will be super helpful for you to get more in depth knowledge and to look at the full picture and all of the potential contributors.

Can’t wait for this to be available! I’m 24 years old and have suffered with eczema my entire life. My dermatologist recommended methotrexate shot just the other day and I got it. Want to see me back Monday to talk about further chemo treatment but my gut is telling me this is not the answer! He says it’s now dyshidrotic eczema🤷🏻♀️😔
Hey Andrea, Sorry to hear you’re going through all of that! I think the information in the guide will be super helpful for you, even if you incorporate some of the recommendations alongside your current practices. Happy healing to you! Rachel – Joyous Health Team
Surprisingly enough, I’d add food and drink that contains caffeine (coffee, chocolate). This can get my skin irritated. Very hard to abstain from, as both coffee and chocolate are often present at social events.
Hey Angela, For sure! Those would be great additions to this list! Rachel – Joyous Health Team
Hi I suffer from really severe eczema. Sometimes it will show up then disapear and come back. I hate it so much and would like to starting eating healthy. I know your not a nutritionist but do recommend any diets I could start to eat healthier and get rid of my eczema. Feedback would be soooo appreciated. Thanks for taking your time and ready this!!
Hey Hope! I’m sorry to hear you’ve been suffering from severe eczema for so long. Joy can totally sympathize with you on that given her previous experience with eczema. She is actually a Holistic Nutritionist and can most definitely help you! She actually wrote a whole comprehensive Eczema Healing Guide that will teach you everything from the cause of your eczema to how to heal it naturally, including what food and supplements you can use to heal. It also comes with some super yummy recipes and a meal plan! You can find that here, but let us know if you have any further questions!

I don’t suffer from excema, but I do suffer from dandruff and keratosis Pilaris. Are these considered inflammatory skin conditions as well?
Hey Sam, Keratosis Pilaris is for sure! A lot of people find relief in their skin conditions by following these suggestions too! Rachel – Joyous Health Team
After my son was born I had bad eczema, and I could not find a good cream to help. Foderma serum has been a life saver. I also love putting it on my feet, they’re so luxurious even only after using it for a few days. Highly recommend
Hey Shemekia, So happy you have found relief from your eczema! I don’t know if you’ve seen Joy’s natural herbal remedy for an eczema healing cream but this might be another great option for you: https://www.joyoushealth.com/27116-blog-diy-eczema-herbal-healing-cream Rachel – Joyous Health Team
Joy I. Am a nurse with a 6 month old with horrid excema we have been dealing with for weeks. Using Glaxo and hydrocortisone but mom is not reliable in treating twice a day. We see him daily. He is breastfed.some solids have been started but after the onset which was about 2 mo ago. Advice? I suggested sage tea soaks and we may need to do them in clinic.
Hey Linda, Sorry to hear your 6 month old is suffering from eczema. That can’t be fun 🙁 Joy actually has an Eczema Healing Guide that is very comprehensive and has a section dedicated to healing eczema in infants/toddlers. I really think it would be helpful for you! You can find it here but let me know if you have any other questions: https://www.joyoushealth.com/24124-product-eczema-healing-guide Rachel – Joyous Health Team
Hi, great article, thank you. Just an aside, hummus is great, but many include Whole Foods 360 brand has CANOLA oil. So, just a note to try and find one with better oil additive.
Great point, thanks for clarifying!
Hi, I’m happy to find this article about eczema and I didn’t know that occurs in this way. I’ve suffered from eczema for my whole life and now it bacame severe in my fingers and my hands which is very annoying because I can’t do any work with my hands.
I have Question what about eggs can get eczema worse ?
Hi Salma! Eggs are a common allergen and some people may be sensitive to them without realizing it, but this has a pro-inflammatory effect in the body and interferes with digestion if foods aren’t being broken down properly and as you may already know, what’s happen on the outside (the skin) is a reflection of what’s happening on the inside (the gut), so the more work we can do here to ensure everything is running smoothly, the more likely we are to clear up our skin. I’m sorry to hear you are experiencing that though 🙁 I would really advise that you pick up a copy of the Eczema Healing Guide. It will show you how to heal naturally from your eczema through dietary, supplement and lifestyle recommendations! nhttps://www.joyoushealth.com/24124-product-eczema-healing-guiden Rachel – Joyous Health Team
I had the worst eczema flare up I have ever had. Usually, I can get away with using coconut oil, but I just wasn’t getting any relief. I saw all the good reviews for foderma serum so I had to try it. It worked so well! After 3 days, it was almost gone and no more itching!!
Hey Lidia! I’m so sorry you had to go through that but I’m happy you found some temporary relief. Do you have our Eczema Healing Guide? It would be super helpful for you for what you’re going through. Topical treatments can be helpful but ultimately, if you want to get to the root of it, it’s important to address the triggers from the inside out. You can learn more about it here: https://www.joyoushealth.com/24124-product-eczema-healing-guide Rachel – Joyous Health Team
My 8-year-old has severe eczema and foderma serum has helped tremendously. During weather, change is when he mostly breaks out bad and this serum has made a difference. In the last week, This has relieved the itch and did not burn him upon application like other creams have done. https://foderma.com/product/ezcema-serum/
Do I need to own a E-Reader before buying the Eczema Healing Guide?
Hi Nathalie, you do not. You will be able to download it from your account. It will be a PDF download.
Hello! Like many of the other commentators, I’m dealing with eczema pretty badly. I’m 22 years old and it’s as worse as it’s ever been. :-/ I’m keen on following your advice, but what are your thoughts on eggs? Whenever I looked up info on eczema and diet, they always said to stay clear of eggs.
It really depends on your food sensitivities. Yes, eggs can definitely be problematic but they are not a problem for everyone — myself included. The best thing you can do is remove them from your diet for at least 2-3 weeks and then eat them again. That will give you your answer 🙂
Hi, I am wondering about salicylates. After removing them it mentions to add them back slowly to find the culprits. Does this imply that the culprit would be a personal sensitivity to avoid indefinitely or something after healing the gut could be brought back?
Everyone is so unique. If it’s a true allergy then when you add it back in you’ll likely still be allergic. If you’ve been told by an allergist you have a severe allergy I would NOT recommend trying to consume fruits and veggies with salicylates.
Hi! I have had eczema since I was a baby (thanks genetics) and natural/organic products tend to make my flare-ups worse. I know fragrance in general messes with my skin so it could be whatever is giving those natural products their scent. Or it could be something that develops into a potential allergy when older. For example, my eczema has always been worse around roses and suddenly when I was 15 I developed a rose allergy. Hopefully, your little tyke grows out of it!
I’m the only one in my family that suffers with eczema. I got my first outbreak in 7th grade and it was hassle dealing with it. My eczema is mild to server depending on climate; spring, summer, and winter. What can I do to reduce outbreaks? Should I change my diet?
Yes, dietary changes are the first and most effective natural health habits you can adopt. Check out my Eczema Guide here: https://www.joyoushealth.com/54-joyu-program-eczema-healing-guide and then do the 10-day Detox in Joyous Detox.

Thank you so much. This advice really helped me a lot. I would totally recomend this diet to others
You’re welcome, I’m so happy to hear that this is helping!
Hi! My 7 month old is suffering from eczema and allergies. We’ve tried just about every cream. What do you recommend??
I’m sorry to hear that. Province Apothecary’s Eczema cream is wonderful. Also, have you checked out my Eczema Healing Kit yet? https://www.joyoushealth.com/24124-product-eczema-healing-kit
I have eczema on both of my hands from the year of doing dishes without using gloves. I have fair-ups that get the painful blisters too. I also have gone through a lot of different over-the-counter eczema creams, and Foderma non-steroid eczema serum seems to work the best for me and is the one I use the most. It is a bit of a lighter and so it rubs-in very well and seems to be quickly absorbed. It works quickly too. I always keep a few bottles of this serum on hand!
I would recommend checking out a more natural option like Province Apothecary’s Eczema Cream. I checked out Foderma’s website and I couldn’t find the list of ingredients which makes me suspect that it’s not clean.
Hi ,I have been suffering from eczema and it’s getting evenworse day by day .I can’t even apply lipstick or foundation on my face. Please guide me that which makeup products are best for eczema.Also that can I drink low fat cow’s milk while I am suffering from eczema.
I’m so sorry to hear this but I have really good news for you, from a diet and lifestyle perspective there is a LOT you can do. I highly recommend you get my Eczema Healing Guide here: https://www.joyoushealth.com/24124-product-eczema-healing-kit

Hi Joy, I’m just wondering whether you would offer the same advice (meaning, which types of food to avoid) for someone suffering from psoriasis?
Yes definitely… anything you can do to lower inflammation!
What can I actually eat then? This is everything that exists 🙁
Which food are you asking about?
Hi..it’s a great article . Thank you for sharing. My first child had started eczema when she was one and a half month old. Through medication and many trial and errorsits under control at her 15 th year or age. It’s great to have a second girl child without eczema. Thank god. But… Now 2020 making me to cry aloud… Weep aside the room since my third baby.. little Zayan is suffering from severe eczema from his 40 day of birth.. even if he is exclusively breastfeeding..it’s not ceasing till now . Now he is about to six months old. My baby… And me too suffered al lot from the last 3.5 months.. and it’s so sad that his skin peels many time after getting redness almost all over the body. Even though taking medication from specialists… I’m depressed 😔. For this breast feeding baby how could I help to find the triggors? Is it related to climate only? Or else upon my diet? Can you suggest some remedies.please. ? Hopefully sending this message.
First of all, I’m sending you a big hug I can only imagine how heartbreaking and frustrating it is for you as a mom. Hang in there! Ezcema is a multi-factorial condition, meaning there typically isn’t one single cause. However, if you are exclusively breastfeeding, you’ve ruled out potential allergens that you’re eating (dairy, gluten, soy, corn being the big nasties), you’re giving him a probiotic and you’ve ruled out any laundry detergent aggravating his skin I would recommend checking out my eczema guide for more in-depth info. https://shopjoyoushealth.com/eczema-healing-kit/ Let me know if you have any questions!
Hi not a cure but a tip to release the itch. I go in the shower and have it as hot as I can stand it. Played onto the areas of eczema until the intense sensation it produces dies down. Then turn heat to coldest setting and repeat on eczema. This gives complete releaf for hours. Let’s you get a good nights sleep.
I want to thank you very much, Joy, for your much-needed, incredibly informative and wonderful website but especially for this particular article on foods that may irritate eczema. I’ve had on/off since birth and I’m a much older woman than you – I’ll be the “big” 60 this year! It took me almost my entire life to figure out what my triggers were and your article is so on target! I already knew most on your list, however, as I like to say, “You can teach an old dog new tricks,” since I am very grateful that I indeed learned new ways to help avoid additional eczema triggers.
My pleasure Anna, thanks so much for your sweet note! I’m so happy to hear you’re enjoying Joyous Health and my eczema posts are helping you. Have you tried my body butter yet? It’s a must for eczema-prone skin!! https://shopjoyoushealth.com/body-butter/
Why don’t I just….not eat?!
Haha! Well, I don’t recommend that but I do recommend checking out the recipes here on my blog, tons of options that don’t contain gluten/dairy etc. https://www.joyoushealth.com/7-blogcat-recipes
My 4 1/2 yr old great grandson has eczema and we have tried many things and he drinks lactaid milk is that good?
It’s not really ideal because dairy is such a common food allergy and sensitivity. So it has nothing to do with lactose. It is the protein component of the milk that causes allergenicity. I would recommend cutting it out for 3-4 weeks and then reintroduce it. Hope that helps!
Have you heard of Lord Bubuza? This man is a genius, he can do anything with his miraculous spell. My boyfriend was abusive and was a cheat, I love him so much and didn’t want to loose him to another so I started searching for help online when I came across testimonies of people thanking and praising Lord Bubuza for his help so I contact him immediately, I told him my situation and he promised to help me. I did just as he instructed me and everything about my boyfriend cheating habit and abusive behavior changed for better, he is so lovely and caring now. I’m so proud of Lord Bubuza.

Aashirvaad Sugar Release Control Atta, is a right choice for healthy rotis as it has really helped in lowering sugar levels. Loving it.
Thank you for the helpful article. Since eliminating many foods/beverages, what’s a good list of foods that are okay to eat? Meep meep
I have been eating organic and grass fed pretty much all my life now,and I have celiac and other food intolerances that I have been avoiding for years now. I only eat homemade food,from scratch,and still got eczema.Did a 3 month detox with green juicing,salads and roasted vegetables,and my eczema has only gotten worse to the point of being head to ankles.I also did homeopathics and I still don’t see any improvement.Not sure what else I need to avoid besides the nickel,latex,aluminum and feathers that I’m allergic to.
Hi Ann, thanks for sharing and I’m sorry to hear you’re going through this. Are you working with a practitioner to help you sort this out? There are other aspects of your wellness that you might want to investigate and consider (energy work, microbiome health etc) and working with an expert may really help you. 🙂
