Thursday, November 1, 2007 Eczema Posted in Food Allergies James woke up & his eczema was YUCK – James is on such a strict diet – no eggs, fish, nuts or peanuts as this gives emergency anaphylactic – no milk, dairy as gives bad asthmatic attack & possibly anaphylactic – he has never tried it. Very little wheat – I mean little – He can tolerate my homemade bread one slice once a fortnight but that’s it. As least sugar as I can as this feeds the eczema. James has been on a real strict no wheat – no sugar or jam – no sweets for about 3 weeks hoping he could attend swimming lessons with the local homeschool group. James hasn’t had the opportunity to learn to swim as the lessons are very expensive & you have to pay wether you attend or not. So yesterday am both James & I were oh no! His eczema is all infected. Thankfully I was able to get into our GP – Poor old Abbey was still asleep – I woke her & told her we were off to DR – she still is unwell. So James back on antibiotics & poor man has a boil on his butt all caused from the infected eczema. I’m not a fan on antibiotics but sometimes you just got to have them – James can’t have the good yogert to help the lining of his tummy either so it adds to more issues…. I asked Dr about how Abbey has been sick a lot this year & she said there is a nasty virus that if you get it, it just keeps coming back. So no school done at our house yesterday – We are going to be referred to a new eczema specialist we haven’t been since James was 4 or 5 years old – they got us wet wrapping him – he used to have full body bandages – this time was very stressful as if actually made him worse. A lot of the creams they give James he is allergic to & I just hate putting them on him & seeing him in pain with the reaction. But we will try again. I hope we get someone who has dealt with the severity of James’ allergies before so he isn’t their test case like in the past. • Post A Comment! • Send to a Friend! Comments
