In reply to Nancy Dearinger. I would cover it with some sort of bandage, maybe it doesn't have to be a band-aid, but something.

Do you always cover the wrist with a bandaid when doing the sensitivity test?

In reply to Rebecca.

Hi Rebecca,
I’m so glad our GAPS journey could help and encourage you. Yes, we did go through that very same thing with my second son’s eczema. The entire time we were on GAPS, it seems, his eczema was pronounced and so difficult to deal with. When we got off the diet, it slowly ended up fading away, although now it does at times come up on the insides of his elbows. I knew GAPS was a detoxifying diet in itself and ended up not trying to detox him further. The baths did help, though, I believe. It’s been several years since we did GAPS so my memory’s a little fuzzy. I’m so sorry to hear about your son’s eczema; I know exactly how frustrating and helpless it feels. I wish I knew the exact advice to tell you! Have you tried any GAPS diet facebook groups? I think I was in one called GAPS Kids, I’m not sure if it’s still around. The FB groups were pretty helpful at the time. They might have more specific advice; I am not confident in advising since it’s been so many years since we did it! Thanks for your kind compliments – it was a very rough time for me and our whole family and I stressed my thyroid and adrenals at the time – make sure and take good care of yourself, that’s my best advice! <3 Let me know if you have any more questions and I'll try to answer them to the best of my ability, Rebecca. Have a great day!!

Hi,
My name is Rebecca and I found your blog online when I was researching about eczema and the gaps diet.
Your blog and journey has been so helpful and encouraging and I was wondering if you had any insight on a few things I’m struggling with.
Ive had my 2 year old son on the intro gaps diet for over 2 months now.
I’ve known about healthy foods his whole life and he’s been eating gaps like food since starting solids and introduced sourdough around 1. Then at some point after one he started Showing signs of eczema and it took us a while to actually commit to the diet. He’s got it on his feet and behind his knees. It’s been so hard a frustrating cause we haven’t really seen a significant change. It’s been so up and down and we thought he was getting better and then he got worse again and I was wondering if you went through that and how you knew when to move on to the next food if you don’t have much to go on. We’ve been on stuck on stage 3 or 4 and haven’t really introduced much new In a while because he’s so up and down with the eczema.
I had also read that you had look into liver detoxification with one of your kids cause his eczema wasn’t getting better like your other sons. Do you have any insight on that since you can’t really do a full detox with kids. How did you get passed your sons eczema after all of it or did it just slowly go away after so many months?
Thanks so much and any help or thoughts are appreciated at this point.
Also I don’t know how you did it with Your whole family in gaps. I feel like have one kids on intro is so hard and my husband is on full gaps and my other 3 kids are eating just real food but not necessarily gaps strict.
Anyways I’m so impressed and that’s amazing!
Thanks again!

Hi Jennifer – I completely understand the scared part. The whole diet just sounded to intimidating to me and I LOVE my grains and sugar. But you know, when push comes to shove, we buckle down and do the things we need to do. I’m so happy to have you as a reader. I’ll be updating weekly with progress, and I’ll be posting mainly GAPS recipes, except for a few stragglers I never got around to posting before the diet that are not grain free. Best wishes to your family!! <3 Love, Dandy

Thank you for this post/update. I will be visiting your site daily as we are starting GAPS this weekend. I have been looking into it off-and-on for a year, getting more serious about implementation since November when we went gluten and casein-free for our son. I am scared about it, but we’ve also been ramping up to it over the past several months, doing more and more to clean up our diet and go more Paleo. I HOPE that means our intro. phase will not have as much detox as you are experiencing! 🙁 Our son has been taking a strong probiotic and consuming virgin coconut oil and ghee for some time already. Anyway, it just helps a lot to know there are other families out there doing this at the same time! (So keep us posted!) 🙂

Hi Raia (beautiful name!!)
You’re exactly right. It is way too tough to handle on my own! Thank you for your encouragement; it’s great to hear from people who are in or have been in the same boat!!! Onward and upward, right? Thanks for your prayers, so much. I will be praying for you and your family too, Raia.
