RE: Can eczema flare-up be due to valtrex or yeast die-off?

[Guest guest]

This happened to our son as well. The Doc called it a 'flare up' and it could be related to all that his body is processing, though this time of year, there are lots of reasons for Excema flares. He gave us a steroid topical creme for it that did WONDERS in just 2-3 days. Good luck!

Cade has eczema that I can keep under control but never goes away. 8days ago I started him on Diflucan because he was getting extremelyOCD, he was frustrated and pitching fits, he just wasn't himself and Ithought it might be yeast. Within 2 days I saw a big change--hisbehavior was wonderful (I was afraid he would be horrible because ofdie-off). He still has some OCD things going on but they're not assevere. Anyway, I started him on Valtrex yesterday morning (250 mg 2xa day for a week, then upping it to 250 mg 3x a day). By yesterdayevening, his eczema had flared up really bad. It's very red and hasspread to places it's never been before. He also had splotchy redcheeks today as well (but I don't think it was eczema). This is theworst it's been in a looong time. I'm wondering if this could berelated to the Valtrex or maybe from the Diflucan? He's also justgetting over a slight cold so maybe that has something to do with it?Thanks for any input you can give!

First, yes... eczema can flare up with any antiviral, especially

without an antifungal strategy. The virus may be supressing the

fungus a bit and when you kill the virus alone you may set off a

yeast reaction. This is part of healing, but the fungus can get out

of control, so I strongly suggest having an antifungal strategy when

using antivirals in our kids.

Nizoral and Diflucan seem to work quite well.

Regarding Milk....

I do not believe in any milk from another animal. I respect

and her child's recovery and strongly support any family sharing

their beliefs and what worked for them...

But most, possibly more, of the kids I come across have real

problems with any casien protein from animal milk. Plus the

processing of the milk, the hormones from the animal, the immune

system programing from an animal with intestines three times as long

as ours... it's all bad if you ask me.

But if I had to choose between raw or processed, I would choose

raw... but I personally don't believe in milk from another animal.

We have had many infractions, & sometimes don't take the enzymes at

all, but apparently we healed the gut enough to leave behind the

eczema. No antivirals, or anything else, has even caused a flare-up.

Excema is just fungus or fungal toxins in my opinion. If you take

away IGG reactive foods and kill off the fungus, the eczema will go

away.

This short video is an example of a woman that was born with eczema

and had it every day of her life for 49 years and then recovered

through changing her diet killing off fungus. Every case of eczema

that I have ever seen has resolved through diet and antifungal

therapy.

And yes, enzymes can help break down the food so you have less for

the fungus in your GI tract, but it doesn't completely break it

down. Removing complex foods like Milk, starches, wheat, flours,

and complex carbohdydrates go a long way.

A good diet that seems to take care of more than half the eczema

cases I come across is:

http://www.childrenscornerschool.com/diet.htm

Most children from my school who have excema usually clear up in a

few days of starting this diet. You can do this while you wait for

your IGG results.

Just a suggestion.

Yes, agree that our experience is unusual and that a LOT of kids benefit

from the elimination of milk. I would agree to disagree with Stan that any

milk is bad-- raw, grass fed cows produce milk with lots of enzymes that

enable complete digestion, in addition to superior nutrition that is hard to

replace with supplementation.

You can read more for yourself at www.rawmilk.com, I think.

Yes, they were dairy cravers, and yes I replenished...but i have to admit we are not consistent with CLO-sometimes he will drink it in juice, and other times he refuses.Gayatri Rampal wrote: Kerstan, when you went gfcf did you replenish your child with adequate doses of Vitamin A and D that are naturally found in dairy products (and are then missing on a gfcf diet)?

hi adriana,which of the phbalance products do you give your son? http://www.phsciences.com/thanks!On 1/8/07,

phbalance, one in the mornig and one at night and that took care of

the eczema again. I have to add the the PHBAlance was the key thing

to help his sleep through the night. We figured out that even that he

has had fungal issues, the eczema and sleeping problems were mainly

due to excess of acidity or alkalinity in his system. This may be

another cause to look into.

--I give him the PH Balance. Ocassionally I give him the PH relief.

It works good if you give a pill before breackfast (1/2 hour) and at

night time-. Later you just can reduce it to 1 at bed time.
