I'm a HUGE fan of probiotics. They could help matters (over time) and certainly couldn't hurt but you need to be sure you find a really good brand and one that is dairy and soy free. You want to get one that is for children and in powdered form - should come in the refrigerated section of your local health store, Whole Foods, etc and you keep it refrigerated at home. Some good dairy/soy free brands are Udo's Choice for Infants and Nature's Way Primadophilus for Children but there are others as well.

If you can't get to a store that has a good one we can recommend some for you to get online...But even still I'd hold off on trying dairy again until she's at least 2.

I am so sorry the dairy trial did not work out. I definately agree with Karen about waiting until at least 2 now. I also think probiotics would be a good thing to try. We give them to James and I definately feel itt has helped him with his eczema and helped improve his bowel movements aswell. I certainly feel they are worth a try as like Karen mentioned they will do no harm. I am with you about not trying dairy until the age of 18 years old ;D.

I'm kinda excited to try it now - Bella's excema is horrible so maybe that'd help. I HATE putting the steroid cream on her but it is so bad (the Dr. said her back feels leathery).

Wendee - has she ever been allergy tested? In addition to dairy/soy there could be other culprits? Is she totally dairy free - even hidden dairy?

Nope she hasn't had any testing done yet. Not sure about the hidden dairy, I haven't really been watching for that but other than the excema there aren't too many other symptoms that she shows unless she has an actual product.

If we can keep her, then we can get allergy testing done but they won't do it here until she's 2 yo. anyhow.  :-\

You may want to eliminate all trace/hidden dairy (and soy) as well - really check labels - in addition to milk or soy you'd be looking for casein and whey. With new labeling laws anything that does have it should say in bold "contains milk and/or soy ingredients". If/when you can I'd definitely recommend doing the skin and blood allergy tests ASAP.

I agree with Karen about the allergy testing and hidden dairy/soy. If you get to keep Bella (and I hope you do) then the allergy testing is obviously something you can pursue. Please don't get your hopes up expecting the probiotics to stop Bella's eczema from flaring as it is not a miracle cure but it can help it did with James.

I most definitely want to keep her. So, I'll be trying to pursue allergy testing as soon as she turns 2 yo. Glad you told me that about the probiotics - I was really thinking it was a miracle thing (not kidding).

Can you line up an appointment for her now so that it will happen as soon as she turns two? There are often long lead times to get into good allergists...

Nope, not a miracle cure but can help improve things and certainly can't hurt. Just be sure to get one that is dairy and soy free!
