Question by kathryndrew: Any ideas about an elimination diet for breastfeeding my baby who has eczema?
Hi. My dear 5 month old has bad eczema on the ‘creases’, in the diaper region, the thighs and chest region. I breastfeed exclusively. Has anyone ever tried a diet while breastfeeding that helped eliminate or at least improve the eczema of her child? I have tried to eliminate dairy, but so far not much has changed. Thank you.

If you are really desperate there is this elimination diet, it is pretty much the most extreme. However if you follow it for awhile and the eczema doesn’t go away you know it isn’t your diet, and if the eczema does go away you can slowly start adding foods back in.

Or you could start by eliminating only the top 9 allergens which are said to account for 90% of all allergens:
Cow Dairy (don’t forget casein and whey)
Soy (tonnes of names, look it up)
Wheat
Peanuts
Tree Nuts
Sesame Seeds
Fish (including shellfish)
Eggs (particularly the whites)
Sulphite
