Atkins warning! Bad side effect...

[Miss Phode]

My eczema went away when I cut out the wheat and sugar.

Side note:
"I'm allergic to sugar...it causes me to break out in fat!!! "

This always makes me laugh!!!! (And I agree!!!)

:yikes

I am with Robbie on the paper plates, bowls, and plastic wear, but I still have dishes to do because you can't cook in the throw away stuff. Also I do use the paper plates and not styro ones because I don't want to do to much damage to the environment, and so I try not to over do the use of the throw away things.
I really can sympathize with those with the eczema. I have grandchildren who really suffer from this.

This isn't an Atkins question, but I'm wondering what those with eczema did to help it (other than cut out wheat and sugar). Redthehead - what was the medication? I'm suffering here so any advice is appreciated!

I haven't had eczema for about 4.5 years now, but I had it really bad for about 2 full years. My arms were scabbed, flaky, red & itchy from my hands (including the little spaces between my fingers -- ahhh!) up to my elbows. I tried a few different creams, a lot of hydrocortisone, but the eczema never really went away. Then I took prednisone, a super strong steroid. It was a 4-6 day dose (orally). I was also prescribed a cream simultaneously, but it was the prednisone that did the trick. I thought I'd suffer my whole life, but one prescription was all it took and it's been gone for 4.5 years.
