Could be! I’ve never really subscribed to the theory that our bodies crave what we need when it comes to me (unless I have some strange deficiency only chocolate can cure) but think that kids whose palates aren’t polluted might have a better innate sense of helpful foods.

Interesting! We don’t have confirmed eczema here but I saw a few suspicious patches on my 8 month old before I figured out she was allergic to nightshades (in my diet).

What really interests me is your comment on apples containing something that helps with allergies. My 3.5 year old who is allergic to corn has been going nuts over the apples I’ve been buying from our local buying co-op. They are end of season but she will tear through the fridge looking for them and beg me to core them. I wonder if they help her cope with the trace corn it’s almost impossible to filter out of her life.

Thank you!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

What a wonderfully thoughtful, informative post! It looks like I have a lot of directions to go in with this, but it sure is better than standing still thinking I’m always going to have to use steroids.

If nothing else, thank you for the hope that I CAN do something about this.

AND you’ve given me a great reason to plant more berry bushes!

Thanks again! I can’t express how much better I feel knowing that I’m not going crazy in watching something move from one spot to the next on my little guy’s body.

Always such good information here!! You do a great job!
