Inliven

I'll ask Tracey if she can pop in here and fill us in... of course it can't claim miracle cures, but it can help your body a great deal to deal with some of these conditions.

You poor thing I get it on my scalp too. For me it is dairy products that makes it alot worse. I notice that it majorly flares it up if I eat dairy. I have been eating cheese as that was all I could stomach during m/s but now that I am better I will have to stop it again. My head is just too itchy. And the flakey dandruff is embaressing

Anyway to your question I hadn't heard of in-liven. I was just prescribed elocon lotion which worked a treat but I can't use it in pregnancy so I use a safe alternative atm. I try not to use it often though only when needed.

I'll be interested to see if in-liven helps.

I've used In-Liven and I find that it helps with your overall health so I would assume that anything that improves your overall health would help any specific condition. My DH has psoriasis on his scalp and he find that when his diet is better it improves too... and when he is under stress it gets worse. Recently i have bought a tube of a new MooGoo product (they have a great site) specifically designed for psoriasis. Given that MooGoo's Infant Scalp cream (for cradle cap) was the only thing that worked for us I am confident that this new product will help DH's problem too... i'll let you know how it goes... he hasn't had a flare up yet. But the end of financial year usually brings it on! He is a banker and it's a stressful time.

Oh and In-Liven is perfectly safe to take when BFing. Infact i would highly recommend it... unless you have an allergy to any of the ingredients.
