The Eczema Detox: The Low-Chemical Diet for Eliminating Skin Inflammation

This is a fantastic book about eczema. It has information about eczema, nutrition, supplements, menus, detox, skin care, recipes and it works. Karen Fischer also has skin care products and supplements and they are also recommended. I healed my eczema with her help. So thankful.

I read the book at a time I simply didn't know anymore what to feed my 4-year old daughter with. Nothing was going through her digestive system without causing severe eczema crisis up to 5 hours at night every night. When I thought I tried everything I could possibly buy in a grocery store this book explained the basics of a 'low eczema risk' diet with easy recipes to try. It gave me a starting point toward the recovery path. I can't thank the author enough for it.

Great for helping those with eczema. However it is restricting a lot of foods, which is only natural, as most foods exaggerate eczema symptoms. This book will help control flare ups, not cure them. An important aspect.

It is taking me a while to adjust my diet to the ezcema detox, but the advice in this book is incredible for people with eczema. Even without fully following the FID programme yet to find out my sensitivities I am already being able to space out the steroid application. My regret is not finding this book sooner

A good value product with helpful information

I haven’t undertaken the detox yet but the theory seems sound.

Well written...and genuinely works

Read through most of it and decided to do the Detox diet plan, day 2 first thing in the morning threw up and felt terrible, at the time I thought it was just my body adjusting but current I'm on day 10 and my eczema has been getting worse. Also the the meals are a pain to make and some are just disgusting. I'm sure this works for some people but it didn't for me.

This book was a great purchase. It is a very strict elimination diet, that a person has to do 100 percent! It gives some theories as to why the diet helps. It has healed my severe eczema :) and now I just have to slowly re-introduce foods to find out what my trigger foods were. I did an elimination diet once before that helped, but I re-introduced foods too quickly and got muddled up and my eczema came back. If anyone is struggling with severe eczema and has already removed environmental triggers such as scented laundry products, pets, etc, and are willing to try a strict diet for healing - I highly recommend it. My eczema was so bad this summer that the doctor referred me to go to a specialist to get immune suppressing drugs such as methotrexate. But while I was waiting to see the new specialist, I did the diet, and it WORKED. My appointment is coming up on Friday and I am so anxious to show them how my skin has all healed by diet, because for years doctors have been adamant to me that my eczema is non food related. Mine was obviously environmental AND food related. Good luck to anyone else who is struggling with eczema - everyone is different but hopefully you can find your triggers. This book helps to find food ones at least. Edited March 16, 2023 to add: I’m still eczema free! I had severe eczema for 40 plus years!!! But thanks to this elimination diet I discovered my eczema food triggers were dairy and soy. I also can’t eat gluten because it causes me digestive issues. I am able to eat all other foods now with no problems! I find it still actually leaves me a lot of variety and I’m so happy to have my eczema under control! Please keep in mind if you do this diet and it works it is not intended to be a forever diet on its own. It’s a tool to help you find your triggers. Interestingly I do not test allergic to soy or dairy at the allergist office. So thank goodness I gave the diet a try. I prefer avoiding soy and dairy versus having to be on methotrexate. Each to their own though because I can understand not everyone would want food restrictions. Best wishes to everyone!

J'ai commandé ce livre et j'ai suivi la régime pendant une crise d’eczéma. ça m'a beaucoup aidé dans la compréhension de la maladie mais aussi comment le combattre. Les recettes sont variés et adapté également à un régime végane / végétarien.

Great book for people with eczema, will increase your knowledge about the natural healing through your diet.

Lots of good info on how various foods can affect you.

Excellent book that explains how the diet affects eczema. Gives a lot of information about what to eat and what to avoid. It gives a very thorough explanation on the use of supplements which help when dealing with eczema. The recipes were interesting.
