Hello there :) I'm wondering which prenatal vitamins you recommend for those with eczema? I have done the FID diet which revealed that I'm sensitive to amines but seem to tolerate salicylates well.
I'm also curious if there any things to be wary of in the pregnancy/postpartum journey that might cause an eczema flare-up?
Thank you so much!

I'd like to start doing the caffeine/sugar withdrawal week before I start the FID Program. Does anyone have suggestions for what to eat during this week? Do you follow what is already in the FID program?

Hi there,
Does anyone have a recommendation for a body wash/cleanser? I have been using la Roche Posay AP t body wash but have extremely itchy inflamed and irritated skin where I use it so thinking it may not agree with me! I also noticed it contains SLS.
Does anyone have any recommendations for an alternative?
Thanks

Is there something I can do to help my son through a flare from trying a probiotic that he did not do well with? He has been going through TSW since March, and we have been on the fid diet (plus not eating even a lot in that list bc of his sensitivities) since about April, and even though it helps a bit, he is still a mess. We are trying some other supplements, but I was worried about trying a probiotic, and it was not good! Anyway, I feel like I read once that he could take an extra dose of ams or PMs to help detox...? Also, any tips for helping him mentally? He's only (almost) 4, and I am wondering if there are things to do with him to help him through his awful itchy fits. (We use the Vegas nerve playlist on Spotify from you!) Thanks!

Hello, I've been suffering from rosacea for a few years and have worsening histamine intolerance. I am also a long-term ethical vegan (eating meat/fish again isn't an option). Is following FID the best place for me to start, given the histamine intolerance? e.g. Soya is often sited as being a problem for histamine intolerance but I think it's included in FID as a vegan source of protein. Any advice would be most appreciated! Thank you

Has anyone got a decent butter replacement?
This would be for a butter replacement that goes well on scones or tea loaf, ie that can carry something sweet.
Which might be the best eczema detox oils to blend to make something?
At this moment I’m just using the Sunflower oil, or rice bran oil, as hemp and olive oils are too acidic and savoury to carry something sweet on top. But as well, this is too thin and doesn’t have as much solidity or weight as dairy butter.
Any other options? What do you use?
Any advice or ideas appreciated.
Hi Rowenna,
I've seen unrefined red palm oil on some low histamine lists, but I don't know if it's been tested for amines or salicylates - if ok, it could possibly be mixed with the sunflower oil and a pinch of salt to make a more butter-like spread? There are organic, eco- and orangutan-friendly brands available 🙂.

Hi there, my 18 year old son did the FID diet about a year and a half ago, and we identified an amine sensitivity. Since then, we have been mostly avoiding or limiting high amine foods. His skin and hay fever are definitely better, but still not clear. We tested dairy and gluten on the FID diet, and there didn't seem any obvious issues. We don't have any mould issues. We are now working with a local integrative GP to see if we can make any more progress. We were using the AM and PM supplements for about a year, but my son really struggled with the flavour of the AM mix, so he no longer takes these. I guess I had hoped that after that length of time his gut might have healed and his skin would be close to clear, and he'd be able to eat normally again…
I’m sure that over time things will clear. I now do eat high amine foods, but not that much, nor very frequently, ie not as a base daily part of my diet. I moderate them, and I find in that way things don’t accumulate into a problem.
It took me a long time on FID as well, probably 2 years, and I’m still careful, but I got clear. I appreciate it must be so hard when you’re in your teens, but I hope these words are a little positive for you. Rowenna

Hi all
We are about to start the FID as a family - supporting our 14 yr old son who has had eczema all his life. We have been studying the books and now website (a few updates I see).
Some questions to ease food prep for us and our 2x hungry teenagers...
Are the Aldi 'Oh So Natural' lentil chips with salt ok? The Simply 7 brand in the FID shipping guide is trickier to get.
Are blueberries ok? I read 10 per day on website but FID shopping guide doesn't have.
Why are potatoes in blue on FID shipping list? I read we can have white ones and they're in many of the FID recipes
Fiona, I wanted to link you to the most recent shopping guide. https://www.eczemadiet.com/shoppingguides This should lead you there, hopefully. I've been realizing that the website on my phone leads to different pages versus when I access the website on my iPad. In addition to this, the app has outdated information compared to the website. Last night I came to the realization that Bonnie's response to you was AI generated. It seems the AI data is trained on the outdated information as well.
I hope this helps.
Yes, Faith in Nature does a fragrance free one, and so do Child’s Farm. You could give them a try…
