My DD is 18 months and has had terrible eczema from about 5 months,she was a tiny baby so recommended to start solids early,so about 5 months we started the farex,i was always worried it was the farex that made her have the eczema but thought the tiny amount she was having and because its so low allergy that it couldnt have been,ive tried everything and nothing works except the cortisone and a good moisture,anyway getting to the point,shes had it all over and nothings helped and so we have been away on holiday(we live in QLD and are only in NSW)for 3 weeks now and its no joke pretty much totally cleared up,id noticed it getting better but tonight i realised its pretty much gone,i just cant believe it,so i started thinking is it the water or air here?Because i couldnt think of any other change then i remembered i havent given her farex in the 3 weeks,she enjoys it so she has still been having with fruit but since weve been away shes prefered toast and fruit so i havent given it to her since weve been on holidays,am i going mad?has anyone else had a reaction to farex?could it be possible being so low allergy food?I just would love to try work out whats making her skin so good,to see the little sweety not be scratching like mad is just wonderful so i was mainly wondering if anyone else has had simialr?sorry for long post!
It would be strange that its the farex, rice is not a common allergy linked to skin problems. Where you making it with milk or water? sometimes milk/dairy can cause skin conditions.
Have you changed anything else since you've been away apart from her diet, like her bedding, washing powder, bath wash? It may be something growing in your yard or where she plays. It might be worthwhile looking into getting her an allergy test done when you get back home.
Or you may be just lucky and she is growing out of it, which can happen.
My 19mth old son had an allergy test done today and to my surprise he has an allergy to milk products, nuts, eggs and dust! He has terrible reflux, exzema, asthma and this is most certainly effecting his health. I just wish a Dr would have suggested an allergy test sooner, he has suffered too long!
Good luck mate... my advice... trust your mother instincts! I wish I did!
My DD has a topical reaction to eggplant. Not common, not rare, but she also has no other allergies at all, and none to the other foods in this group usually known for being allergens.
So yes, it could be the Farex. But as others have said, I would also be looking at your washing powder in particular, or any other cleaning products you ise in the house on a regular basis.
intolerence to farex???
for long post!
