Hazel/Eczema/Gluten-free

Update:

Well, it’s been a little over two weeks. We had a setback when we were in San Francisco. We didn’t have her regular cream, so I used the hotel lotion. Apparently, perfumes and such can make eczema worse, and this stuff made it really bad. A very quick reaction. =/ Her face was oozing.

In our desperation to help her, we haven’t been super scientific, we’ve changed both her diet (gluten-free) and used some stronger face creams. But it’s looking better. We’ll continue to experiment to see if we can figure out the trigger and how to prevent it from recurring.

Well, Hazel’s eczema is getting worse and worse. Sad that one of the words she already knows and uses is "Itchy". Creams and such seem to help a very limited amount, but certainly haven’t fixed the problem.

Since there is a link between Celiac and Eczema (and other skin conditions), and many non-celiac eczema patients report doing well on a gluten-free diet, we’re going to try a trial and see if it helps. Today is day 1 and this picture is to record an objective start. We’ll see.

Joshua Tree National Park

Joshua Tree National Park captured my heart during a quick trip to my brother’s wedding. As a climber, it felt like a playground waiting to be explored. After moving to California, J-Tree became my second home in winter, where I forged friendships with fellow adventurers. Over nearly 30 years, I’ve experienced countless unforgettable moments in this stunning landscape. However, the park is at risk of being loved to death. If you venture there, please treat it with the gentleness and respect it deserves, preserving its delicate beauty for future generations to enjoy.
