The last week and a half, I have done a few things to help curb her eczema. Ok.. I know there is no cure for eczema, but one can only try their best.
These are the list of things that I have done so far:
- Prayers : from myself, family members, friends and the church
- Diet restriction : free of wheat, gluten, dairy (including beef), yeast, tomatoes, flavours, colourings and preservatives
- Bioresonance Therapy for both Isabella and I (because I'm breastfeeding). it is suppose to help with getting rid of her allergies, and thus her eczema.
- Creams : tried a whole load, and after lots of research, have finally found the ones that work.
- Oatmeal Baths with Bath Oil : these help to stop the itch, as well as being a soothing bath that is pH balanced.
- Probiotics : (for both Isabella and I) suppose to improve gut function and thus the body's immunity
In addition, to help me with getting more rest, we have started supplementing Isabella on Soy Formula. I have also been expressing my milk for Scott to feed Isabella with. In between the formulas and the express milk, Scott has been helping me with the night feeds. Thankfully, she has gone back to her pre-eczema routine of waking twice during the night. Initially, when she was on antibiotics for the peak of her eczema, she was having lots of diarrhoea which contributed to her waking up almost every hour for the almost a week. That is enough to drive anyone mental.
Anyway, I will give more of an update later when I get more time. Thanks to all who have helped with prayers. Thank you Jesus also for helping Isabella and for me to gain more strength and confidence.
