On Monday I will be starting a new series called "Clearing Up Eczema." As a prelude, I will share our own struggle with eczema tomorrow. This will be a regular series over the next couple of months every Monday morning. It is still a work in progress for me so I will still be learning and writing along the way.
As many of you know, I have had my own health struggles and made some dietary changes. Tyler's eczema was terrible this past spring and I had to ask for an increase in his dosage of Zyrtec. Before my own health struggles, I was already on a mission to get to the bottom of this issue that has plagued him his whole life. So it is no short of a miracle in our eyes that with some simple changes (many of them dietary) Tyler's eczema is gone!!
With that said, we had company a couple of weeks ago who I did not want to force to follow some of our healthier eating habits. Guess what. The eczema came back. I immediately went back to the plan I have been following and it disappeared again. Hmmm....I think I truly am onto something here.
Please remember this series is what worked for our family. Everyone's body chemistry is different. If you follow some of my suggestions, the worst thing that could happen is that your home is a healthier place to be. Not bad, even if a little eczema does still linger.
I'm a mom like most of my readers. Eczema and desperation have been two emotions that are closely related for me. If you are in an all out war with eczema right now, please email me. I don't want you to be forced to wait several weeks to know the entire scope of what I have done. Email me and I can give you a "sneak peek" into Tyler's plan.
If, however, you struggle from time to time with small patches of eczema or flare ups, check in each Monday to see what new suggestions I offer. It has taken us several months to get to where we are. It is not an overnight process. I can almost promise you that if you see our plan all at once you will be overwhelmed. When I'm overwhelmed, I tend to give up. I don't want that to happen to you.
I have listed out about 8 weeks worth of posts so far (remember this is still a learning process for me.) But, in the first few weeks, I have tried to cover what I think are the most important steps. For me, these have been crucial and I have seen almost immediate results.
Don't worry, there are no crazy remedies. They are very doable, normal things. I will try to list sources for further reading so you are well equipped to make a very informed decision. Its possible you might only need to do the first two things and see results. If so, you might just ignore everything else!
Please join me on my journey. I will see you tomorrow when I share Tyler's own struggle with eczema.
