Finally a turn for the better. Catherine has made a lot of progress in healing this month. The oozing from her left cheek stopped. Her face looks like it wants to clear up. There are a lot of challenges ahead, but we are very grateful for every little bit of improvement we see.
Challenges
Her torso is still covered with red spots. Her legs are very dry and scaly and her left wrist is still swollen. At night, she rubs her face constantly and she doesn't get back to sleep until she nurses. I have noticed a pattern that she feels itchy when she feels bored, hungry or sleepy.
Diet
She has been doing a modified GAPS Diet. She consumes broth every day, probiotic once a week, and cod liver oil as well. She eats cantaloupe, oven-roasted cauliflower, edamame, kale and chickpeas as snacks. According to the GAPS Diet, she should avoid most fruits and legumes from her diet. However, Catherine seems to tolerate well these foods. Additionally, in this month, we eliminated red meat and rice.
Moisturizer Withdrawal
Catherine has benefited from MW. Her skin is getting stronger. Now, she is not using any cream, oil or soap in her body. I encourage other parents to try this method and see the difference.
I feel relief. Finally we are getting results! She is no longer taking antihistamine, antibiotics or applying any kind of topical steroid cream.
