it's story time again I want to talk about today how I healed my son's eczema
actually two of them using the GAPS diet and so we've talked about how we did the
GAPS diet originally for autism recovery and we've also talked about how
I healed my dairy allergy with the GAPS diet and today we're talking about
eczema. so eczema is something that it affects
so many of our kids and I believe it's like increasing its almost every kid or
every family I feel like I see almost every family I feel like someone in
there has some skin issue or eczema and it's something that it's like
it's not life-threatening but it's so inconvenient it's gonna distract them in
the classroom it's gonna distract them when they're on the playground they're
not gonna be able to be engaged and like focused in their work and this is
something I saw it happen with my first son my daughter was fine no eczema but
she's the one who had autism and then he was born two years later and he's right
as a newborn he started developing eczema and I was just like why is this
it was on his trunk he was probably like I don't know a month old six weeks old
and just like a little scaly patch and I'm like ah I don't know maybe it's
because of our water change or something I put a filter on the shower and I made
sure I like filtered the water before I gave him a bath and as a new born like I
don't bathe my newborn to time so this was probably only once a week and it
just like kept getting worse and it was all over his trunk and then I thought
like I was using wool um diaper covers and so I thought maybe
he's allergic to wool and so I switched it out and I put um I put him in
disposable seeing if that would help and it wasn't it wasn't an allergy like a
topical allergy to anything I was doing I already put him in all cotton because
my daughter was sensitive to polyester so I just started him out in all cotton
and so it wasn't that and really can it just kept getting worse no matter what I
was doing ice putting coconut oil on it because that's what we do we put coconut
oil and everything and I was reading online and finally it was a couple days
after it started and after it started spreading and I could tell it wasn't an
allergy to something it was eczema and so I looked it up and I didn't have
eczema and I didn't really have any experience with it so
just reading through a web D and what they suggested and so we did like
lukewarm baths and it just kept getting worse and worse and finally because I
knew that I had problems with theory like at the time I couldn't have more
than a Serbian if dairy or so without getting a sinus infection I talked about
this in my in my food other and you've been here that's back there is um I knew
that I was sensitive to Darius and I'm like I should probably just like
completely cut out dairy and it was everything it was like even butter he
was just like super sent and this is all through my milk so I couldn't even have
butter so I did use coconut oil um when I was a very good cook allergy
friendly cook at the time so it's using coconut oil and like eating eggs and
corn tortillas was kind of my my go-to of no dairy not even traces of dairy and
it cleanup cleared up and so I just kind of went on with that I'm along nurser
and so he nursed well into toddlerhood and when he was a year old or right
before he turned a year old we started doing the gaps diet for my daughter who
had autism and because he my kids don't start solid soon I don't know why they
just like they liked a nurse and he was a big boy he was like 11 pounds at birth
he was always been at the top of the growth chart and all of that but he
seemed to grow just fine on my milk with no other problems and less the eczema
didn't come back and he was like development developing on track and
everything unless I ate dairy like a couple times we went out to eat at
someone else's house and I was still a little bit unsure of myself and too shy
and I didn't I still I ate theory because that's what they served and it
definitely affected him for the couple days after that it would take it like
three or four days to clear again after I ate dairy so he at almost a year old
is when I started her on the gaps diet and I started it along with her which
it's not recommended to do it while you're nursing and you'll see and a lot
of my videos I do a lot of this do as I say not as I do
but I wanted her to try it for reasons that are detailed in the
autism video it was it was a pretty like crisis situation for me I needed to get
her autism symptoms under control I was having like a really hard time keeping
it together and I did but I don't wish to digress I did the intro diet which is
incredibly intensive got healing diet and I just went ahead and fed him what I
was feeding her I just kind of did that as they were little growing up as I
didn't make two separate foods like if I made pureed squash for her then he would
get a few bites of pureed squash he didn't eat a whole lot of solids even at
11 months and this is up until he was just over a year probably thirteen
months is when they went off the gaps diet and I took him off the gaps diet
and so during his first foods were all gaps intro foods I was eating the gaps
and Joe and healing my gut and he was getting the probiotics and all of those
really nourishing foods through my milk and so after that I tried introducing
dairy into my diet and he didn't have a reaction so this is six weeks into the
gap Center diet as I had transitioned off and he didn't have a reaction to the
dairy in my milk and so after that I tried giving him like a little bit of
shredded cheese he didn't have a reaction to the shredded cheese and this
is something that even six weeks before he had been having a reaction to me
eating any trace amount of dairy coming through my milk and so that's just the
power of healing the gut how eczema is sort of I found it
originated in the gut and what we had found for dairy for healing a dairy
allergy which presented and me as sorry which presented in me as sinus
infections and hives and presented in him as eczema and so this is something
that's great I've noticed that if his diet he's not know if his diet gets carb
heavy or I'm not including the probiotics and the meat stock which is
really a key component to the gaps diet he will get bumps on his skin like his
skin turns more rough that's kind of my first sign that I need to up the
nutrients in his diet but he's never had that exam
and it's been eight years now so that is are we reversed eczema with the caps
diet if this is something that you'd like to do as well when you're ready to
get started my gut healing starter package or you can just do the ebook

what we used we've done into a few different times and I'll talk about my
next then same thing eczema food allergy gaps diet yeah and
then he's been fine but the 30 days on the Gap Center diet is exactly what we
