Guest guest Posted March 3, 2001 Report Share Posted March 3, 2001 Welcome Simone I don't know much about eczema, we appear to have avoided it - touch wood but I know that oily fish such as sardines are an excellent source of calcium if you're trying to avoid dairy products.

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2001 Report Share Posted March 3, 2001 > *Could my diet affect her eczema through breast milk? I went on a dairy free, wheat free diet (not easy, believe me) for about 10 days (v.v. difficult, believe me) and it seemed to have an effect, but I can't really prove it Hi, Someone on here will have a copy of the dairy-free diet sheet published in New Digest, the publication for NCT specialist workers a year or more ago. It gives alternative sources of calcium. *If someone doesn't have it can they request on BFC list for it?* A friend of mine did a dairy free diet when her son developed eczema. I gave her a copy of the diet and she found it incredibly helpful but everything was done under her GP's guidance (and her DH is also a GP). She had to go a long time without dairy though. Good luck - I don't know much about all this but hope someone can help. -- Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2001 Report Share Posted July 13, 2001 Hi, My name is and I have an almost 13 year old daughter, Lynn, with cf. I have 2 sons, (9) and Josh (6) who don't have cf but are carriers. About 4 years ago we decided that we really wanted to have another child and started trying to get pregnant. But my body didn't cooperate, and then we heard about a fertility clinic in a nearby state that could screen embryos for cystic fibrosis (pre-implantation genetic diagnosis), and so we decided to give it a try. The short version of our very long story is that our first IVF was successful. The clinic biopsied 8 embryos and transferred 4 embryos that had no genes for cf, and I got pregnant. To our huge shock at the first ultrasound we found out that I was *really* pregnant, and we were having triplets. For a long time we felt like we'd jumped out of the frying pan (cf) into the fire (triplet pregnancy). Our babies were born very early (at 29 weeks) but we have been blessed and they're doing great. Things have finally calmed down enough here that I felt like it was time for me to pay a little more attention to cf again, so here I am. Also, if anyone ever has any questions about the pre-implantation diagnosis procedure, I'm more than happy to answer any questions or share any info I can. Things are still pretty hectic here so if you do have questions please e-mail them to me at crayz2sew@... --it's hard to get time to read everything some days!! mom of Lynn(12wcf), (8no/cf), Josh(5no/cf), , Jenna, and (almost 1, no cf) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 14, 2001 Report Share Posted July 14, 2001 , We also did PID but non of our embryos(6) were successful. Three had cf, one wasn't sure and the other two did survive freezing. I'm very glad it worked for you as there is so much messing around to get to the end result. I bet you've got your hands ful but its wonderful they are all healthy.
