  Kate B. asked:

  I'm looking for some advice for relief from eczema itching for my 14 month old daughter. We're seeing a homeopath next week but wondered if anyone has any tips in the meantime? We currently have short, warm baths with oats and epsom salts, make sure she drinks lots of water, have cut out various food groups. The doctor advised giving an antihistamine at bedtime and that helps but I don't want to be a long term solution. Any suggestions for more natural 'antihistamines' to stop the neverending itching? Many thanks in advance :-)

  Heal the gut .. think of gut as internal skin and tightly linked ... My info snippet: If the diets of our kids are somewhat flaky, then alongside the probiotics below maybe a daily quality multivit with minerals (Cytoplan good make) and the all important essential fats omega 3 etc... vitamin D3 (to include A, K2 and E ) plus Magnesium and Zinc) Prebiotic and Probiotic ======= After any antibiotics, the body will desperately need prebiotics AND probiotics BIG time to heal the gut otherwise it becomes a vicious cycle of antibiotics, illness, antibiotics, illness and so on.... being that our immunity is 70-80% gut based and its flora (intestinal bacteria which are made up of beneficial and adverse strains) is integral to modulation and function of our intestinal health and subsequent immunity. For general maintenance or healing (no antibiotics recently), the probiotic should suffice. * Prebiotic (as antibiotics decimate all flora (bacteria), this introduces the bacterial "food" to kick start the good flora growth) * Probiotics introduce the good bacteria to recolonise the gut and bring back modulation The below are off the shelf suggestions for quality, good strains, and as close to natural sources as possible, they are not exclusive, but what is merely suggested by my wife (western medical herbalist with formal nutritional training) in her clinic. Alternatively once back on track, get into no cost "kefir" making (milk or water, milk slightly easier to start with, its down to personal preference). For under 2 yr olds ----------- these two are age suitable and give in breakfast yogurts, smoothies etc in the morning ... see suggested dose on the product... IAG Prebiotic powder: - http://www.bioticsresearch.com/node/1519 Biocare "Infantis" Probiotic powder: - http://www.biocare.co.uk/default.aspx?GroupGuid=29... Adults and over 2 yr old --------------- IAG Prebiotic powder - also good for over 2 year olds and adults. Bionutri Ecodophilus probiotic capsules: - http://www.bionutri.co.uk/ecodophilus.html for general need, or if poo test (if required) indicates deficient in lactobacillus, and one can open and sprinkle these capsules into breakfasts etc. OR Cytoplan probiotic: - http://www.cytoplan.co.uk/Pre-and-Probiotics/ particularly if bifido or breve strains needed and secretory IgA is low (indicated via poo test if required). .
