In reply to Jennifer Rector. Jennifer, nice to hear from you! I completely empathize with the eczema struggle, and thanks for the tip, I will have to try that. Thank you for the encouragement. I love hearing from you other mamas who are going through the same thing. This diet is very isolating, confusing, but rewarding, and it's wonderful to have some community. God will get us through this. Thanks again for stopping by. <3

P.S. I should clarify that my son’s less-severe eczema spot is still gone–PTL! It’s just the really bad spot that is still sticking around (and possibly looking worse).

Thank you for your post, Dandy. My son’s eczema on his right hand (the less bad hand) was nearly gone after 2 weeks on GAPS Intro, and the really bad patch on his left seemed to be somewhat improved. However, we are now on Stage 4 (introducing carrot juice, EVOO, and just last night the bread), and it is bad. The eczema was bad on Stage 3, too, though, so I don’t think it’s from these new items necessarily. (What a boon it was to add eggs, those delicious little pancakes, and avocado!) Anyway, like you, we are hanging in there, although it is hard. And, like you, I am just LONGING to be on Full GAPS!!! It seems like that would be easy (and similar to the Paleo diet we’d done for a while prior to starting GAPS Intro. 5 weeks ago) compared to Intro. 🙂 Last night, I started to apply some probiotic mixed with oil (or mashed avocado) to my son’s “bad spot,” as we call it. This is something recommended by the GAPS practitioner I’ve been working with recently via phone. It can help restore good skin flora, I believe.

Stay strong in the Lord! (When it gets hard, do remember that you are an encouragement to others on this difficult journey, even when your reports aren’t fully good news. Honestly, it just helps to know there’s another mom out there doing this for her kids).

In reply to candace | yogabycandace. Thank you for the encouragement, Candace! I need it right now. I'm glad to hear your digestion has improved.... I have been reading about how eczema is a liver issue, have you looked into liver support? I hope it gets better for you and fast, too. Thanks for visiting! :)

Aw, hang in there! I’m in month 5 of full GAPS. I’ve seen a huge improvement in my digestion and joint pain leftover from longterm antibiotic use for lyme disease, but the eczema I’ve had since I was a kid still hasn’t gone away. It hasn’t gotten worse, though, so there’s that… Once you can add in pancakes and other yummy snacks it gets a lot easier. Good luck!!
