| Diana's leg in the morning after scratching. Ouch! |
 |
| Left hand healing up. |
Today we decided that it was extremely unlikely that Diana was allergic to oatmeal. (Who's allergic to oatmeal?) We added that back in to her diet, but after Joseph reminded me that his family had sensitivities to artificial colors, we made sure to take out anything with artificial dyes. Despite being incredibly itchy in the morning, Diana spent 10-15 minutes on the potty again without scratching! She ate things like meat, corn tortillas, oatmeal, grapes, beans, orange juice, but still didn't scratch at ALL when I changed her into her PJs for nap time. The rest of the day there was only some occasional light scratching.

| Right leg. It's better than it has been. |
Aw, poor baby! So hard to see this. I know how itchy and painful this is, for both of you! I wanted to thank you for your comment on my blog Sammy's Skin and let you know that I replied to your comment there but I wanted to make sure you saw it: http://sammysskin.blogspot.com/2012/08/the-best-i-can-do-for-now.html#comment-form
ReplyDeleteHow is your daughter doing these days?
I just saw your reply- and I just joined the forum! I will definitely look around.
ReplyDeleteShe is not doing well. I haven't gotten around to posting about it yet, but our diet was largely inconclusive. It suggested she may have a sensitivity to wheat, so we put her on a GF diet. Her skin feels better to me: more like soft, normal skin without the raised, rough red patches. But if anything, she's been MORE itchy, and it doesn't make sense. We haven't changed anything else! I just ordered a sample pack of Cal Ben soaps so we'll see if phasing out detergents helps her skin. I SO want to find something to help. I hate hate hate seeing her so uncomfortable in her own skin.
