Guest guest Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 I hadn't that possibility -- thanks for the idea! When your son is having eczema as part of die-off, how long does that usually last? > > My son always gets eczema with die-off.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 Hi , My daughter (16 mo.) has the most severe case of eczema that I have ever heard of. It has gotten worse since we started SCD and chelation. In trying to pinpoint the cause we have done urine tests, bacterial and fungal cultures, and allergy tests. In our case the bacterial and fungal cultures came back negative. And while we are still waiting on the urine tests to find out if it is related to clostridia, that doesn't appear to be the whole reason at this point. Our DAN said that her best guess was that while allergies may contribute to the rash, it was probably primarily related to the detoxification she is experiencing. Apparently, when the liver is doing all it can to detox but all its efforts are not enough, the skin -- our largest " filter organ " -- picks up some of the workload. It works to excrete some of the gunk. Perhaps your son has eczema because he is responding well to the diet. It is likely that the nutrition he is now absorbing is enabling his body to fight infections and viruses and even eliminate some toxins (environmental as well as food-related) that he was previously " holding in. " If this is the case, it would be normal to see some of it excreted in the skin. Concerning the idea of die-off. My theory is that this is a factor as well. On the days when Elle is chelating, her rash clears a bit. On the days when she is not chelating, her rash gradually flares up until we chelate again. I suspect that when we stop " moving her metals " with the chelators (which feed the yeast), we begin to experience die-off from the diet which in turn affects her rash. Then the chelators stir everything up again for a few days while pulling her metals and her extra dosage of glutithione helps her liver out a bit more, relieving her skin for a bit. And the cycle continues. Of course, I am not a doctor. These are just my ideas and experiences. But I hope that you will be encouraged! You child's eczema could be a sign that healing is taking place.

My eczema got worse when I started the diet and my face turned blood red and was extremely sore (it hurt to smile). But since my stomach and bowels felt better than it had in years I rode it out. It cleared up in a week or so and then my skin was better than it had ever been. Sheila, SCD 60 mos, 22 yrs UC mom of Em and Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
