eczema in summer only ?

[dkitto]

Owen has been on a dairy free diet for the summer because of his eczema, it has worked well and we are pleased.

Now I am not sure what to do next? He only gets eczema in the summer ( so did not expect dairy free to work but it has) so do I keep it going? or do I stop and start in again next summer?

He loves cheese and is missing his " normal " milk so I know he would love to have them back

What do you wonderful people think is the best step ?

Thanks Donna x

Donna-I have no advice  . . . my 3 yr old has eczema spring, fall, and winter but not during summer so I had convinced myself that his had to be environmental . . . now I'm rethinking this as my 5 yr old has a milk allergy . . . oh dear . . . I had to take away her beloved chocolate milk, I don't know if I could do it to him too.  Hmm . . . definitely food for thought.  Would love to know what you decide to do.  Has the dr made any suggestions?

Well I am starting to let him have milk at playgroup but not at home and I am going to see how it goes. He has not been drinking much of it, think he is used to soya now. I will give this ago for a few weeks and then, start him on cheese, I know that will go down well.
The dr did not seem to want to get involved.

It is hard when you have to stop something they love 

Thanks agaian and good luck

Tyler only has eczema during late spring/early summer, and we figured out that it's seasonal allergies. Maybe that's what's going on?
