I shared the same story with you. Almost exactly! I changed diets several times, reacted to all natural topicals, all foods, etc. microbiome and allergy testing nothing worked or gave me answers. Finally verdict after my whole life suffering? It was an autoimmune disease and LDN saved me. (Low dose naltrexone). I’m so happy you found your answers too! Full body raw skin itch is no way to live
it's truly awful to live through full body eczema!! I was literally at my breaking point and was like okay there's gotta be ONE more thing I can try before being forced to get on these dupixent injections....
LDN is such a miracle! I'm not sure how curative it is for me yet, but it helps quite a lot with my chronic pain.
Can I ask what autoimmune disease it was that you have?
@@traceythomas9950 mixed connective tissue disease
what autoimmune disease?
my eczema has been freaking out since january. i’m not sure if it’s tsw or just severe eczema but it’s been the most awful three months of my life. i’ve done elimination diets on and off but i think i need to commit to it to properly and find my “root cause”. i’m also vegan so super scared about what im going to find out and the possibility of having to compromise my ethics but I have to put my health first🥲🥲 this condition is so debilitating and I have exams in a month so i’ve really got to feel my best (or at least better). i’m scared the elimination diet is going to make a feel weak and affect my concentration/learning etc. this close to my exams but I’m just gonna take it day by day. thanks for the video! super insightful x
i hope your eczema has been doing better :( and that you are eating healthy and enough for your daily protein intake. you can still explore different topical treatments that are not steroid creams. other than eating clean, finding an effective cream moisturiser is super important too, in terms of healing and preventing your eczema. i have been using Invity youth activating cream concentrate and i recently found out they're vegan and cruelty-free too!
I have eczema and have had it since elementary school. Im allergic to citrus fruits, sodas,tea, and coffee. I’ve given up processed foods. Heal the gut and change the diet, eczema will be non existent. I use L-Glutamine powder, drink warm water with freshly squeezed ginger in the morning, eat mostly salads with cucumbers and celery, and increased water intake. Eczema was mostly around my eyes, mouth, and forehead. My face burned when I used a gentle scrub. My skin looks the best it’s looked in years. Journey hasn’t been easy but worth it.
Hi im suffering from eczema right now! Could u please help me! I have on my both cheeks and chin🥲
@@meghavarghese2061 how’s your diet? Most skin disorders begin in the gut. If you get the gut cleaned up, your skin will clear up.
@@meghavarghese2061 I recommend finding a high quality and rich cream moisturiser. I have been using Invity's youth activating cream concentrate. the texture is super thick and does not irritate my face either.
@@AnnaSwan-qv7of topical creams don’t heal eczema. Internal healing begins in the gut and it takes time. If the gut heals, there’s no need for topical creams and lotions.
@@my.0224 how can I clean up my gut?🫤 My diet usually contains everything including sugar, all type of meats, i mean literally everything 😑🥲
Hey girl did you do the candida supplements that Michelle recommends, or did you just use diet to kill it off naturally
I just used my diet and some of the other supplements she recommended! the candida pills made me nervous because obviously it's hard to know 1000% if you had candida and I got scared LOL
what are the meals you ate whilst going on your diet after finding out your allergies
it was pretty bare bones. Mostly just vegetables and salmon.
2 tea spoons of olive oil a day and my eczema was gone
How long did you do it for?
@@mmr2236 a month
you ate 2 teaspoon of olive oil or you just rub it?
@@WishZyrus drank it
Changing my diet was the essential missing piece for my eczema, psoriasis, and acne, especially reducing refined and processed sugar. There were other dietary and non-dietary factors that helped me, but that was the biggest factor. And, yes, to irritating ingredients in supposedly "sensitive" and even "hypoallergenic" products!!! It shocks me how many irritants are in those products!
I thought it was always safe when it had that eczema logo on it😭😭 boy was I wrong!!
@@gracenevitt Soooo hard to trust labels! Add in my dairy allergy and it's even harder -- things in the US can be labeled "dairy free" if they meet certain criteria but they can still have the protein which is the part that causes allergic reactions! It's hard to trust our food and other industries. I'm sure you and I have both spent countless hours researching these things. 😥 I'm traveling and having a flair of psoriasis due to reaching for a few comfort foods when I'm overwhelmed, but I found a moisturizer that seems to be truly ok for me!
@maleaann7365 I totally get it! I used to be allergic to casein (the protein in dairy) when I was a kid... then I became vegan, and now I'm just lactose intolerant lol
@@maleaann My story completely resonates with you.
I have IBS -D, I am lactose intolerant and also have scalp psoriasis.
I’m 60 and learned this lesson 10 years ago. My mother said I was born with 3 conditions: ability to sleep anywhere, eczema and diarrhea.
Fixed the gut at 50 and am so so grateful. For me it is dairy in very small amounts and gluten. Take good care of yourself especially in the lows. That’s when I am susceptible to falling off and then 6-8 weeks of misery. Appreciate your video.
20:06 I don't think it is healthy for anyone to be vegan or solely vegetarian, or solely a carnivore for that matter. We all need a balanced diet specific to ourselves. Thank you for confirming my theory as my doctor threatened to put needles in my fingers after I buy a $300 cream that he is already assuming won't work; he also vehemently disagrees with me that my eczema is being caused by the food I eat. Screw him, my own personal theory of it being food related has been confirmed by you (and Barbara O'neill). I'm in the process of doing an elimination diet myself.
best of luck!!! both of my dermatologists said the diet thing wouldn't work. then it did. then they said it wouldn't last. then it did!
Your video is probably the most informative and helpful video I have watched. I have dealt with eczema almost my whole life. I have tried numerous things, just as you have said in your vidso. I was even medically discharged from the military due to eczema. I have been able to mentally overcome the struggles of day to day life and it has become normal to me. Sometimes I have to dig deep and go on with my day…
Thanks to your video, I can try to heal myself without the doctor telling me it will never go away and I will have it for the rest of my life.
I hear it all the time “I know what you are going through”…
No you don’t… sometimes not scratching is not an option, unless you don’t have hands.
I will attempt this and hope I find a solution. Thank you 🙏🏼
sending you all my love and healing thoughts! it's a bit of a journey to figure out what the root cause of your eczema is, but it is so so worth it in the end!! my quality of life in the past year has been amazing not having to worry about severe flares. I wish the same for you!!
Hi, did it get better?
omg imagine having amputated hands too arrghhghg haha
You poor girl. Really feel your pain and discomfort. Very pleased you're better now. Thanks for showing us the reality and not what most nonsense we are told from the majority of doctors 💊
just wanted to be honest! a lot of doctors, dermatologists, and other youtubers are selling a dream (and/or drugs or products that don't work) and I just want people to hear real experiences on how to actually get better
I don't have eczema but I really relate to the feelings about having to compromise morals for health. I'm in eating disorder recovery and even though I was vegan for ethical reasons and not disordered reasons I wasn't able to recover and stay vegan. I also did so much damage to my digestive system that I developed gluten intolerance on top of having 15 allergies, so being vegan was making my options so limited that it kept triggering relapses. I'm so sad about it and still trying to find ways to make my diet more aligned with my values but at the end of the day I can't be of any goos to anyone if I'm super sick.
this is so relatable💗 I know I'd theoretically be able to make vegetarianism work logistically, but practically, it would be so so damaging to my mental health and ability to properly feed myself. sending you so much love💗
My daughter is 6 years old and has been suffering from acute Atopic Dermatitis for the last three years. Now it has become terrible and she is suffering a lot. Your video really gives us hope to deal with it.
yes! As someone that has been suffering their entire life, I can say that there is always a light at the end of the tunnel❤️ hoping you can find a solution for your daughter soon!!
This is basically the keto diet. Low carbs/sugars. It works partly because it's anti-inflammatory.
The key take away for me ✨write down what you CAN eat, rather than focus on what you can't. Thank you!
Am so gald to see ur video.. I have been going through this situation
16ys.. After watching ur video now.. I started journaling and started my diet with strong mind set❤️... I experienced ur same condition... So.. I was searching for this kind of video... So am now on my healing journey.. Hope it will works for me inshallah... So lots of love❤️xoxo
best of luck to you!!!💗
I'm so glad you were able to heal your eczema! Skin issues can be so all encompassing. And oof elimination diets are *hard*. I've been on AIP for 1,5 years already with very few successful re-intros. But it healed my skin for 95%! I had lots of acne in my face and my upper back, and was getting more and more hidradenitis boils. It was awful, so painful and invasive. Not eating a lot of things is hard, but being in so much pain is harder. Also having struggled with an ED all my life, it was hard. I had a dietician and psychologist on my side the whole first year, and I don't think I could have done it without them. Thank you for sharing what worked for you❤
Well thanks for being honest, nowadays not everyone likes to speak the truth; even though knowing that everyone might have different kinds of skin care...Is always good to hear someone else's opinion based on their own experience.. Blessings!
I think this is one of your best videos so far ! Very informative and encouraging. Thank you.
aww thank you!!!
Take castor oil a couple of times a week to do a colon and git cleanse. Eczema will disappear
I have vitiligo, eczema and since recently psychosis and i am looking for a right way to deal with it, while trying to live my life and keep a positive attitude. Thank you so much for sharing your process and revelations, it helps a lot! Stay well!
I have fatty liver, and it makes sense that my eczema triggers whenever my fatty liver worsens. I am also very allergic to chicken, shrimp, too much heat, rough fabric and detergent. It also worsened because I've been working nights for almost a decade and stress is definitely included with the job. Time came and my Eczema spread from head to toe so my doctor advised me not to work for 2 weeks (became 3 weeks for some reason). That time really allowed me to heal, my skin was almost restored completely because I was able to rest, and watch my diet. Sadly, it's coming back after 6 years because I am still working at night. Anyway, fight goes on and I'll find a way to quit my job and look for a day shift job.
hoping you can find a better job for yourself soon!! wishing you all the best health!
Doctors should be held accountable when they tell patients "Nothing you do will cure this. You must take this medicine " (with a high price tag and terrible potential side effects). I've never had one doctor to discuss with me about food being healing for the body nor have I heard of anyone that has either. Doctors only get a few hours of nutritional education in medical school and it seems that the overwhelming majority do not think outside the box. If they do, they are afraid to speak up. Medical treatment and treatment in general should always be tailored to the patient and never a blanket one-size-fits-all approach. Doctors see patients about every 15 minutes on average, adhere to the government requirements on any treatments and make money along with the pharmaceutical companies every time they push a pill. The gut microbiome holds the key to so much and it's never discussed by doctors. The medical community is shameful at best. Bravo to Grace for not listening to the magic pill story and figuring out what works for her body. Good for you!
thank you!! and I totally agree! it was so scary hearing that from a medical professional and then going back afterwards to show them how much my skin had cleared up and them saying "it probably won't last" :/
That’s just terrible
I really needed this. The doctors I've seen told me I'm basically up shit creek and theres nothing I can do except use steroids and I don't want to get TSWS. I feel like an untouchable monster and hearing doctors tell you you're fucked is just devastating. It really feels like they couldn't give a shit about your quality of life. Just, "Oh, you're crying. Here, have some tissue. Get out of my office."
I asked them about diet and they said it wouldn't help, but it's the only option I have now. I can't live life like this. This video gives me some hope though and its nice to hear from someone who has gone through a similar thing. This and Joanna Cedias old videos about her skin made me feel less alone.
don't let them bully you!! my eczema was literally everywhere for so long and I've been free from major flares for over a year now!! sending you love for your journey through to healing!!
Never use steroids! They are horrible they age ur skin thin it out and you will def have withdrawals. To ease infections or irritation due to scratching use hydrogen peroxide it def shortens flare ups to 2-4 days good luck
Most doctors will never tell you that you can heal yourself with food instead of meds because it doesn't make the industry any money.
I'm so sorry you have been treated like this. You were correct to avoid steroids. Finding the root cause is the key in each person's journey and therefore the cure can be unique. I'm sorry this is vague advice but following your own instincts and intuition will be a powerful practice. Many will have their own opinion on what is happening and what the solution is but you must follow what you feel it right.
You are not alone. You will find it ❤
It's all the Beliefs & Thoughts that creates any Dis-Ease.
Go beyond medical opinions.
Don't be limited by the medical beliefs. Refuse to.
Go beyond incurable.
Incurable only means that they don't know how to cure it at the moment.
It doesn't mean it is incurable.
Someone, somewhere on thus planet has healed every single disease that we have created.
Go beyond statistics, numbers on charts.
That's somebody's projections.
I have atopic dermatitis since i was a baby and the only thing that helped me was getting a blood test for allergies and I'm allergic to so many things, once i stopped consuming them (specially tomatoes, dairy, spicy food, nuts and citric fruits) and one lotion/cream that helped me the most is a brand called bagovit, the classic one and the bagovit a plus for flares up. I truly recommend getting the allergies test as you mentioned. I'm also allergic to sooo many weird things that are weirdly included in so many foods, it's so hard to find good products that I'm not allergic to.
Thanks for a great video. Something I would like to add to it is something my father told me.
He had a really bad eczima most of his life living in Poland. When he came to San Francisco he also developed heart condition. I read somewhere that vitamin E was good for heart problems so my father started taking vitamin E daily
One day he called me and told me that his eczima was completely gone. He assured me it was because him taking large dishes of vitamin E. That was perhaps 6 months after taking vitamin E daily. He swore by it and never stopped taking vitamin E and his eczima never returned. Worth a try.
Just adding this one more thing that might help too.
I think avoiding eating anything that causes inflammation for me
Does not sound dumb at all I was suicidal when my face was covered I was so insecure and anxious all the time. I thought once it was gone from
My face I would be ok but my face has been clear for a while but my neck and shoulders keep going up and down and my clothes aggravate me so much! I can flare up from my jumper rubbing on my neck and even though I can cover it and hide it from people ( which I couldn’t do with my face and why I was so anxious) it’s still getting to my mental health because I will be so uncomfortable, sore and itchy and want to rip my clothes off in public
are you ok now?
I eat very healthy cut out soda and junk and my eczema is still so bad i seriously dont know whats wrong i dont eat gluten often either my allergies are through the roof im currently typing this with a wet wrap i hope this helps
I loved your video! Im so happy for you that you figured it out on your own! Bravo! I’m going through hell since January 2024 with psoriasis on my face. Overall, I’ve had psoriasis since my early 30s. I’ve dealt with it but now it’s gotten too far! My face and neck are constantly itchy, red inflamed , flaky and painful! I got food allergy tested and it was all negative. Allergist said I’m not allergic to any of the food that I tested for. In addition, I started an elimination diet, no sugar, or dairy, gluten free. Still haven’t seen a difference. I’m on day 14 with this elimination diet , hoping it’s just a mater of time. I’m also taking a probiotic in the morning, drinking lots of water with apple cider vinegar. Not sure what else to do. Patch test will be in August.
Have you maybe considered it's caused/ exacerbated by contact dermatitis from shampoo, conditioner, or hair dye? Sometimes you can start reacting to products you've been using for years so it's always a possibility.
Yeah. Eating clean isn’t helping mine. I’m thinking my immune system is dysfunctional.
If you are craving sugar eat raw never heated organic honey instead.
Thank you for sharing your eczema experience! I’ve been having a really bad eczema flare up since February 2024… so it’s been 7 months. I’ve tried the candida diet, I went dairy/gluten/sugar free for 2 months. I lost 15 pounds just from that. I’ve been incorporating vitamins & supplants. I’ve been eating clean. But I am still flaring up. I think I’ll try the allergy patch test. It’s just been really tough & I don’t have a support system.
@MsAbbygayle91 If you are stressed / or get stressed it will always go worse. Also sitting in the sun without sun cream on cleared alot of mine up, the sun creams have many dangerous skin inflaming ingredients in, so I never use. Like you say diet is also a big thing. Best Wishes to you.
Thank you so much for sharing!! After you said you changed your diet a while back, I went down a rabbit hole and went on a similar elimination diet. I was vegetarian, vegan, or "healthy" food eater my whole life and eczema and autoimmune issues just got worse. I 100% do not want to be on any pharmaceuticals. After eliminating beans, seeds, nuts, and all grains my eczema cleared up in 1 week!! Thanks for leading me to the rabbit hole. Hurray for gut health!! Congratulations on finding your solution ❤❤
it cleared up so fast for me too that I was almost like ...... seriously😭😂 I could have done that the whole time ????
Congrats! I wish I could say the same cuz I started keto a couple months ago and nothing changed. Right now I'm trying no moisturizer, just ACV and sometimes yogurt/face wash.
trying specific diets like keto or paleo or whatever sometimes doesn't get to the specific root cause. I would try a full elimination diet and go from there, personally! hoping you can heal too💗
There is a book called no grain no pain. Grains and sugars cause lots of problems. I skipped that and went straight to ketovore / carnivore. All my body inflammation is going away. Trying to get my daughters eczema cleared up.
Also nutritional testing is very important. Most of us are facing some sort of malnutrition.
I’m curious, did you do a food allergy testing? Or you just completely did the elimination diet? I was told I’m not allergic to any food. So that’s why I’m lost, if I’m not allergic to food , then what is the issue!
It was a pleasure to hear your story, you look fantastic and I'm really happy for you! It's easy to look at your beautiful smile and not realise how much pain and suffering went into getting to this point. I hope that you never have to deal with that pain again. Love your authenticity, never lose it! I don't have eczema, but I have other conditions, and honestly the best thing you give me is hope.
thank you so much!! 💗
Most doctors have no idea or experience with systematic candida!!!!
I am 41 a black female and this is new to me I have broken out with severe eczema weeping eczema. I started researching and from experience it is definitely what you eat. #1 thing to do is detox your LIVER and become vegan your eczema will leave. ITS THE LIVER
it's definitely what you eat, but everyone is a little different for what their body can handle! for me, going vegan made my eczema worse unfortunately :(
@@gracenevittsame it made mine worse
It's not necessarily what you eat for everyone, it is for many people but there are other triggers. Mine is dust, dust mites and dust mite poop. The problem is it's practically impossible to escape house dust mites. It's such a complex condition and of course everyone is different.
Thank you! You are my confirmation. I thought I heard the Lord say clean my liver but I was not sure. But I asked I Him to confirm that He was speaking. He just did through you !
@@gracenevitt 26:06
Hi, I just came across this video and I haven't watched it yet, going too now. But Ive been reading the comments and it's all gut related. My question is like one of my main triggers is fizzy drinks which I only consume at special events like wedding etc, my question is once my gut is fully healed will I be able to drink them without any issue?
in moderation, likely yes! but everyone is different.
I'm allergic to soy. Learned it during a food allergen test. Stopped eating soy based stuff every day and a lot of stomach and throat and breathing problems started to solve themselves. I also miss tofu! I also had to start avoiding some of my most favorite foods cause they were hurting me.
yeah it's tough😭💗 but ultimately so worth it!
Boy that 11 o'clock itching session really is something I identify with
What's with night times?!
I think some levels of something spike and it causes more itching :(
How long did you have to stay on the elimination diet? I’m also a vegetarian. I did not consider a patch test. Thank you so much for sharing your experience.
I think it really depends on the person! I think it did it for about 6 weeks ?
What a beautiful video. Thank you for sharing your experience. Sending love 💕
I recently got a smaller allergy testing done. Turns out that im allergic to nickle and gold. Nickel can be in a lot of things so i ordered a nickle tester. Im really bummed i cant wear any gold jewlery anymore
I have also had to become gluten and soy free for my health. Asian foods have been the hardest, but I recently discovered Jumai, which is a purely rice made soy sauce that is soy and gluten free and amazing. I get it from Umami Insider. Its a game changer
omg thank you for sharing this!!! I need to try this stuff!!
@@gracenevitt Of course! Its kinda expensive for the amount that you get, but I treasure every drop. Hope it works for you!
I have H-pylori can this cause eczema?
Thank you Grace. I am 56 yes old, but not quite a geezer:) Thank you so much for sharing! You give me hope 😊 Subbed
I'm so covered (psoriasis) that I can't take the patch test, not enough free skin /:
I’m so sorry!!😢
Great sharing. It's helpful. Thanks.

Same experience! Since Jan 2024. Still trying to figure out the root cause! Good luck
How did you find out that soy was the cause? Blood test or elimination diet?
elimination diet
do you think that this could work for rosacea too? i think that my root cause is probably leaky gut... loved the video btw
I don't know much about rosacea, but I can only assume that most skin conditions are similar and caused by gut/internal imbalances. it surely wouldn't hurt to give it a try for a little while!
Help me i have a baby who is 1yr and 7mths who has eczema on his inside of his elbows and back of legs little on neck whic he scratches a lot .Please gave me some advice ❤❤❤
I had the same when I was that age! my mom used to give me oatmeal baths. I don't have any advice or personal experience with healing eczema at that age, but I recommend getting a patch test if you can (like I mentioned in the video)
Can you please let me know which one you bought? I purchased one from my local health food store, Bluebonnet Probiotic & Prebiotic 50 Billion Live Cultures, DNA-Verified 20 Strains. Last night was the first night I slept well without taking an antihistamine.How long did it take for your eczema completely resolve itself?
My daughter has flare up at age 5 … I am crying in the bathroom… every one recommend me drugs which I don’t want … just start struggle this year let’s see how hard that was
it's really tough when they're that young! my mom used to have me do oatmeal baths and it soothed my skin a lot!
How did you suspect that you have candida overgrowth? Ill also do elimination diet. Just wondering what my overgrowth is so i know how i can target this.
Also you really stressed the importance of patch test... but it sounds like ultimately it's gluten and sugar that you had to cut out? Were there major things you discovered from the patch test that helped your recovery?
I suspected candida based on what I found on Michelle Mills' instagram page (ex: location of my eczema, my cravings, etc). and the patch test was important because I found out I was allergic to alkyl glucosides (which is a common ingredient in "sensitive skin" products). I also have cut out soy, and that has been the biggest game-changer for me
@@gracenevitt thank you so much for replying. I'm battling. I'm waiting on dupixent and in the meanwhile may consider another elimination diet.
When u say sugar free does that mean refined sugar or natural fruit sugar
sadly both at first but now just reduced refined sugar
Thank you Grace. You didn’t ramble. We all took away something from your video. ❤❤❤❤
this is so educationnal, thanks for your video. It helps me knowing how to start treating my eczema without using those steroid creams. I think you are strong, doing all those sacrifices for a quality of life. This is in fact so dibilitating, and tough, but i think your skin looks amazing. i just started having eczema, and in the summer its the worse, but not as bad as you, and i want to find the roots of it before it gets unlivable. thanks again for this.
thank you!! and best of luck to you!
all the best in your eczema healing journey! i used to have frequent flare-ups too and it got quite bad till i didnt even want to leave my room :( thankfully, i found a rich cream moisturiser that helped my eczema the most, instead of using steroid creams as their effects are only temporary. if your eczema is still not getting better (praying it does get better though!), i recommend trying Invity youth activating cream concentrate.
My son is seven and has had eczema since he was born. He had multiple food and environmental allergies thank you for your video it gives me hope that I am on the right track with a functional health approach and that I can heal him.
so, if you will do soy free gluten free vegan, u will have the flare up of eczema again??? because I had an eczema and I am a long term vegan, over 15 years vegan, so I tried to be gluten free and I took a high dose of vitamin d2 and my eczema cleared up
everyone is different! I can't have soy so it's really hard for me to be a vegan and get the nutrition and energy my body needs personally
I was vegan for 7 years. It is already a highly restricted diet so if you take gluten and soy out you are not left with many foods that will give you your nutritional requirements, you'll be supplements galore.. and that is not healthy to live off unnatural pills when you can just eat fresh fish, pasture raised eggs and grassfed or free-range, or game meats I still get my fruit and veggies from farmers markets and grow some of my own things.
Vegan is not for everyone. For most people, it's better to just have a balanced diet, reduce meat consumption, have some vegetarian meals throughout the week.. Cut out dairy, soy, gluten, processed foods, and processed meat. No deli meats just get real food. Everyone eats too much meat, and it's all unnatural industrialised crap and most vegans eat fake lab grown meats that are even worse for you. So many people as misinformed nowadays. Just go back the natural way of eating like how our grandparents eat and problem solved.
thanks and congratulations on doing so well. i have to say that your attention to differences in abilities was really appreciated. if that’s a generation-wide thing, our world will definitely be a better place☀️
I have eczema since childhood..I noticed that Most of people have insurance for their eczema treatment.Sadly,I have no such things.Which insurance is best to covers the eczema thing.If anyone know about this please let me know.... please 🙏🥺
eczema treatment does not have to be expensive. use a calming essence and a rich cream moisturiser. i had severe eczema when i was younger and i tried and tested countless of moisturisers and so far invity's youth activating cream concentrate was the most effective in preventing my future flare-ups.
Caresource( I have and I love them) and Humana( I heard ppl like them)
Thank you this is one of the best videos. I’m a slim healthy flexitarian, aged 36 and having eczema across face, neck and arms for first time, also yesterday I ended up in A&E with gout in my foot (lol how Victorian of me) so today I’m starting to tackle is. Mine is stress induced for sure but going to work on gut health for the next month. Thank you again x
Nah for real, EVERYONE is different, I couldn’t agree more.💯
Probiotic are a smart move. I prefer refrigerated.
depending on cause but in my case eating sauerkraut daily and kefir seemed to do something but i could also just have been on the end of that 3 month run of heavy eczema itches and skin spots etc [jan-mar] But next day after eating sauerkraut it was less so who knows might work for a few people read that formented food is good for your gut bio anyway so maybe less imuunsystem inflamation reactions when eating that for a while also stop eating all factory made food bread sugar etc and more meat
I also ate sauerkraut and kimchi a lot!
Just in time seeing this when I'm having a slight flare up right now. Thanks for the advice!
What do you eat for your skin glow?
Ever looked into Andreas Moritz's liver and gallbladder flush? It had helped my on my skin health journey
What foods did everyone else cut out?
I cut dairy milk, now I'm thinking about cutting down on dairy dessert and cheese. I drink almond milk only and have been drinking it for 2+ yrs now. Me and my twin sister switched because our eczema and gut issues. We currently are experiencing flairs of eczema so we're looking at what we should cut now. Honestly we eat eggs everyday so that may get cut back 😂🤦🏿♀️🤦🏿♀️
And the milk has helped because we're not gassy or super bloated and our patches don't show up everywhere all over our bodies like they did in the past. Now I'm trying to find something new because my right hand gets so inflamed on the fingers and it prevents me from being able to do regular things since in right handed. My hand getting it rly bad is something new so it must be something I'm consuming.
What face moisturizers do you use? My skin burns with everything except aquaphor.
I mainly use jojoba oil !
How come you took B12 and Milk Thistle, were they recommended to you/ did you take them before/ do they have specific benefits? Thank you for this video :)
like I mentioned, it seemed like the best thing for me at the time when doing research on Michelle Mills' instagram page about eczema and finding the root cause
I have toenail eczema on one foot. I'm assuming it must be from Candida. I thought it was toenail fungus at first but my doctor tested it and said it's eczema.
Did the glucosides cause the red bumps on your body? I just switched laundry detergents to a EWG verified one that was supposed to be way cleaner than the one I was using and it has multiple glucosides in it and my neck, chest, and back broke out in these huge red bumps.
yes! it's called contact dermatitis and it's usually caused by a physical skin allergy and it is red bumps everywhere. it takes a while (sometimes weeks) for the rash to die down so be patient even if you've changed soaps.
I dont know what to do anymore
All the lotions etc. doesnt help me
I got severe eczema on my throat
lotion doesn't solve the root cause! try to get to the bottom of it with patch testing or taking things out of your diet one at a time and seeing if it gets better!
From my knowledge fermented foods are not recommended for people with eczema
it depends on the person and the cause! it helps me but might not help someone with a sensitivity to histamines
Instead of doing an elimination diet, I did a food allergy test and found I am allergic to nuts, wheat, and dairy.
I was advised against an allergy test for eczema just because the results are not always what you're exactly looking for in terms of what to eliminate because I'm almost certain it would not have said I was "allergic" to soy. I'm just sensitive to it.
Similar situation here. Mine turned out to be systemic nickel allergy. I'm pretty much carnivore now and it has been a game changer.
see there's always a different root cause!!
How did you find out about this allergy? I’ve been carnivore for nearly 1 month and have lost 15 kg and feel amazing but I only had a baby 5 weeks ago and my health is usually “really good” when pregnant and crashes at about 6 weeks postpartum so I’m worried. I have spent SOOOOOOO much money and effort trying to fix my health and no doctors ever care about anything except my “low iron”.
@@inspiringsimple I tried to go vegan and was having migraines, eczema, rosacea, joint pain - you name it. I knew I was allergic to nickel in jewelry. The allergist just said "it has to be systemic nickel allergy". I tried eliminatating all the things and all my symptoms cleared.
@@cerealnana Thank you for replying. My mind really is blown as I think this might be the answer for my 17 year old daughter. I have sent the video to her to watch but SO much of what Grace said about the areas of her body affected made me think candida and then with what you said has made me so hopeful that she can be cured. So I guess I will potentially solve the mystery for me and my daughter. Thank you so much!
Thank you for sharing
Thank you!
How can I ask for patch tests? Do I ask my allergist or go to my normal doctor and then they tell me to go somewhere else. I think I maybe allergic to something in my stuff
ask your dermatologist! (or allergist)
@@gracenevitt thank you! My allergist approved and I’m doing the patch tests! I hope it helps me!
this was an excellent video. ty
Thank you, just sent this to my friend who has suffered for quite sometime. Good work, brilliant journey, thanks again for sharing
wishing your friend the best!!!
What sunscreen do you use, I'm just now learning that certain sunscreens can inflame eczema
personally, I use the beauty of joseon sunscreen stick!
@@gracenevitt thanks I'll look at that
hii should you consider making a list of the things you bought at the grocery store while on the candida diet?
like I mentioned in the video, there's LOTS of resources online (I found mine on pinterest) that made grocery lists and meal plans etc :)
i don't have eczema but i do have psoriasis and actually psoriasis arthritis so i know how horrible having a skin condition can be & i actually have to inject myself with something once every week to keep it at bay
sending you big love💗💗💗 we all battle our skin conditions in different ways and I'm glad you found something that works for you to keep it at bay
Did you consult a nutritionist for the elimination diet?
I would suggest that, yes!! my stepmom is a dietician and I checked in with her and another nutritionist I know
I got the same intense patch test and I’m allergic to glycosides too!! among other things haha
Also I’m so glad you’re mentioning disordered eating along because Ive definitely struggled with it along with supporting my eczema journey
So what skincare did you end up using or shampoos
I use ones without alkyl glucosides personally. the less ingredients the better! I use nolé shampoo bars now, but as I was healing I used gladskin ones. and I use aveeno facewash and natural bar soap :) jojoba oil for moisturizing and that's it!
Happy for you.
Now this is exactly how health information from personal experience should be talked about, as an individual experience. I'm considering trying a ketogenic diet. A medical doctor I listened to described how he helped people with a condition similar to mine with the diet. The class of medication I'm on is also used for seizures and some people with seizures stop having them when on a ketogenic diet. He's had great success with the diet. It hurts nothing to clean up my diet, I pretty much have nothing to lose. Will it suck getting offy current diet, probably, but it will be worth it if it helps.
Keto helped my rashes and a lot of other stuff! I couldn’t do it long term though
I will say I have been doing keto since November with cheating during Thanksgiving and Christmas/new years, but it hasn't cleared it yet. I'm negative for any food allergens, so I'm not sure if my issue would be food
@@emilyboyer9211I did keto a few years ago but I started carnivore 6 months ago and cutting out the keto heavy dairy helped a lot for me
How did you know it was not TSW? Did you ever use Topical Steroids?
I only used them very briefly and sporadically because I was afraid of TSW
@@gracenevitt Ok. I think I am going through it but it is not as extreme as what I see online. Mostly on my hands and arms and neck area...I do have cracking skin and elephant skin. I also only used them sporadically but for a period of 3 years (2020-2023) I used a higher potency one every time I flared and my flares kept getting worse...sooooo I am guessing that's it. Though I am also paying attention to diet and everything else. Thank you for this video and insight!
Did you use a lot of steroid cream for your eczema?
I used to when I was young, but it never solved the problem
where did you purchase your probiotic?
I used one from whole foods
❤
I appreciate your video, helpful information but I'm vegan and I'm worried about not being able to eat soy as well but I could never see myself eating meat again. There's so many other sources of protein that I won't give up on being vegan. I'm glad you got better though.
it was a tough pill to swallow for me, but it was really my only feasible option with my boyfriend (who I live with) being very allergic to nuts and knowing my body couldn't handle just legumes/beans as protein. I felt very weak when I tried to do only vegan protein and no soy and realized it wasn't a longterm option for me, sadly.
I think that unfortunately the reason I suffered for so long was because I was unable to give up veganism :(
@gracenevitt I understand, it's just unfortunate because I know that there's so many other plant based sources of protein besides legumes and beans. Even mushrooms have protein , everything has protein. As long as you're eating, you're getting protein. It's just knowing which things have which amounts of protein in it that helps you know exactly how much you're getting. I'm the exact opposite, animal products make me sick and the thought of eating them makes me sick. Plants have always been my go to for medicine. I think what's important is that what you stated in the video Is that you weren't on the healthiest of plant based diets (as was I until now) and you weren't feeling the best, but a whole food plant-based diet takes some time to master recipes, making your own sauces, your own flavorings, to make your food taste really good besides just eating a plain salad with nothing on it. I totally get that, I would feel burnt out too eat plain food all the time. Maybe 1 day you'll come around to trying a whole food plant-based diet instead of a standard American vegan diet style where you can eat anything but if not, I understand. Again I'm glad you're healthy and happy and wish you the best in life. 🙏🏼💯🫶🏽 Thanks for sharing your story.
@Zoe999 I think I was just so burnt out at the time that I knew I would not be healthy or well if I kept doing the vegan diet I was doing. in general, I mostly stick to a plant-based whole foods diet, but essentially consider myself a "flexitarian", as I mainly eat vegetarian now but sometimes have fish or chicken occasionally
@@gracenevitt Understood 💯👍🏼
🙏
I have had eczema since I was born. For me it got the worst when I was in middle and high school. I got on dupixent about 5 years ago but it isn’t working that well anymore and it’s not something I want to be on forever. I have been vegan for 10 years and I am coming to terms with the fact that it is probably not helping my eczema. When you ate meat after so many years of not eating it did you have a reaction or was it hard for your body to digest?
it was okay! I just started introducing things slowly. to this day I still only eat fish and chicken and likely won't ever venture any further in terms of meat consumption.
What shampoo bar do you use?
currently I use nolé but during my flares I used gladskin!
I have had eczema for 25 years. What cured me was kefir, zinc Pyrithione shampoo, fasting and removing chlorine fluorine in bath water
