I wouldn't go as far as Mercola does, but I can believe that establishing a benign gut flora puts a brake on allergy and inflammation. More funky pickles please!Spanish Keyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01839125247451906949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1063416407663011642.post-53401428328009652652012-04-28T10:09:03.227-07:002012-04-28T10:09:03.227-07:00Hi,

The more information out there, the better for all us eczema sufferers.<br /><br />I have had *very* good results with reestablishing a healthy gut flora with probiotics, by eating home made, unpasteurized yoghurt, kimchi, and sauerkraut. I make it myself, so that I know it's not pasteurized, in which case most of the good bacteria are gone. I have seen big improvements: the skin behind my knees and my fingers, which used to be red, dry and itchy is pretty much healed now.<br /><br />I would say I am 90-95% healed now, and hardly itch or scratch any longer.<br /><br />I heard about the GAPS theory developed by Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride on Dr. Mercola's web site, where he posted an article about it. That many ailments, like eczema, depression, autism, ADD, ADHD and Schizophrenia are based on the condition of our digestive system: whether or not there are plenty of probiotics, or if the balance is messed up by a bad diet, too much antibiotica, and so on. I was given a lot of antibiotics when I was younger, so it makes sense to me that my gut flora was messed up.<br />RAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
