My 7 yo son, D, has had bad ecxema for quite a few years now.  We tried a lot of different creams, none of them making a difference.  The doctor finally decided it was also a skin infection and gave him antibiotics and a cream.  That cleared it up almost completely.  It was so amazing to see his skin looking so nice.  A few days later, it started coming back. We are now using Desonide Cream  .05% and that is keeping it mild.  When we see spots, we put the cream on, and the spots will go away in about a week of treatment.  But when I read the warnings on this cream, I didn't want to give him it at all!  They sounded terrible.  But what could I do?  His skin was just awful!  We took him off of milk, and that didn't make a difference.  So this week, I decided it was time to take him off of wheat and see if that helps.  It is soooo hard to remember not to give him anything with wheat in it.  Wheat is in EVERYTHING!  Anyone out there with wheat allergies?  I would love to hear how it affects you, and how creative you get with your meals.  I bought wheat free bread, spagetti, and waffles.
