kim/food allergy/skin problems

[Guest guest]

Hi kim or anyone with rashes,

I was wondering if you had eczema or psoriasis, because I have psoriasis and I

know that it is a food allergy. It would be impossible to know what causes it,

unless you get an allergy test done by an allergist/immunologist. Food allergy

testing is an awesome thing to know about yourself, because food allergies cause

a bunch of different symptoms you would never relate to allergies, like

abdominal pain, diarrhea, and headaches. We crave food sometimes that we are

allergic to. I've read dermatology abstracts that claim that 90% of eczema or

psoriasis is caused by food allergy.

Anyway, I drink Coke which has corn syrup in it. I am allergic to corn. If I

abstain from Coke for three weeks, my rashes clear up. Otherwise, they are

there for years. You can be allergic to something like fish or corn and have a

reaction to coffee because of the materials in the filter, believe it or not.

Coffee also has mold in it. Also, the creamers have corn usually.

If anyone is allergic to corn specifically, I am an expert on it, please use me.

Sincerely,

Holly

Holly,

my skin condition is not common. No, it's not eczema or

psoriasis. I'd give the name, but it's merely a very long term

(four words) that only describes it in fancy medical

terminology,and no one I know (incl. most docs) has ever heard

of it.

I've had this for 20 years, so I have certainly considered food

allergies as well as lymphatic, liver or blood issues (which

others have mentioned). I actually have never gotten the allergy

testing done (although I did go a naturopathic doctor once who

worked underneath an MD allergy specialist. I just didn't think

highly of the tests because my mom had it done years ago. She

cut out strawberries and newspaper from her life after the tests

showed sensitivity to those two things, but it did nothing for

her. Since it was some years ago, and my income is better these

days, I am considering having it done. I just need to hear from

enough people with skin problems(you're one) that the tests were

a success for them. I belonged to the St.Johns eczema list for

about a year (even though I dont have that)and found that many

of those people did not achieve success after testing.

Admittedly, though, it wasn't clear to me if that's because they

didn't completely give up a particular food product. Like you

said, it may have been in something they weren't aware contained

it.

Any suggestions on any test that's better than others?

I have also tried supplement combinations designed to detox the

liver or cleanse the blood. The problem is that if I don't see

results after two to three months, I usually give up on a remedy

because they're all fairly expensive and I don't feel I should

have to try something for a year to find out if it's going to do

anything.
