What To Do About Daughter's Skin

My daughter has KP (a skin condition that causes bumpy things on her arms and legs) Basically it looks much like goose bumps but they are there all the time. A lot of people have it and its nothing that needs to be treated so we normally just leave it alone.

Lately she's been picking at the bumps and I don't want her to scar. The only thing I have found that does not contain topical steroids in it has oat flour in it. So I'm wondering if that also means it has gluten in it!

Anyone here use the Lame Advertisement baby care products with success???

I use California Baby Calendula Cream--it's very soothing and mild. They have other creams, too.

Kibbie,

My son had the same thing, and it stopped as soon as I quit using fabric softener. None of the creams worked.

I wish that were the problem... I've never used fabri softener on her clothes! I'm trying the intelligence line from Lame Advertisement now.... since their produts have been so great for my skin! If that doesn't work I guess California baby is the next step!

I'm glad to hear it actually went away! :) That gives me hope :)

I second the St. Ives Apricot Scrub - it's the best thing I have found. Also, I use Dove for sensitive skin regularly. Also, check the laundry detergent - I thought that because it didn't have some fragrance listed on the front that it was fine. It wasn't. Now I use All Free (I think that's what it's called) or the kind for babies.

Wow. Is KP another un-classic symptom of GI? My Dd has had this for years. On her face! Mostly the cheeks. I've found that it helps to use something slightly abrasive--then a gentlr clenser like cetaphil. THEN a good moisterizer like eucerine. I kept thinking it was acne--but it is reated to dry skin issues, the bumps are plugged folicles. Sometimes they turn into "blackhead" type pimples from dirt and oil. I really feel for her.

I've not seen a link... KP is genetic and does get better with age. I have seen no change in her KP since being gluten free...its actually flaring up now because its winter and her skin is drying out :(

I don't want to use a "scrub" on her because she is only 1 and scrubs make my KP worse not better so I think they will do the same for her. So far lots of gooey lotion in the morning and after her bath seems to keep it under control. But the Lame Advertisement baby products got rid of it completely... it just wasn't there! Darn them for putting oats in everything!

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Gluten free food is not fortified with vitamins and minerals as regular food is.  Vitamin deficiencies are common especially in recently diagnosed persons,  Get a 25(OH)Vitamin D blood test. And work on raising it.  The safe upper blood level is around 200 nmol/L.    "Low serum levels of 25(OH)D have been associated with increased risk of autoimmune disease onset and/or high disease activity. The role of vitamin D in autoimmune diseases   🏋️‍♂️Good job!   I find the commercial milk will give me mild stomach burn at night, while pasture/grassfed only milk does not bother me at all.  While you are healing, listen to your body.  If it hurts to eat something, eat something else.  You may be able to eat it later, or maybe it is just not good for you.  Lower your Omega 6 to 3 ratio of what you eat.  Most omega 6 fatty acids are inflammation causing.    The standard american diet omega 6:3 ratio is estimated at upward of 14:1.  Thats why fish oil works

      I  notice a reaction to tea bags, possibly due to gluten or other substances. Is this recognizable?

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      The blood tests you had done are not the main ones. The two main ones are the "Total IGA" (to check for IGA deficiency) and the "TTG-IGA". Current guidelines for the "gluten challenge" when people have been gluten free for a significant time period are the daily consumption of at least10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks leading up to the day of the blood draw. That should give you some perspective.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      Thank you, really.  I took a test for DGP-IgA and DGP-IgG. Effectively, it is not enough to discard Celiac Disease. I was consuming gluten until then, I only started gluten-free some days ago, when the symptoms became horrible and now I feel considerably better, which is a second confirmation that gluten is the main problem. It's been more than 4 years I have the same suspect, when I first thought gluten was causing me problems, I made a gluten-free diet for a year, I felt really good as never before. However, neither I or my parents were well informed about Celiac disease, so none of us tried to make further exams. My father suffer digestive problems and other members of my family as well. Unfortunately, no one have ever been tested for Celiac disease. I'll have to restart eating gluten in the next weeks, so I can make a serious blood test in laboratory, hopefully between two or three months.

      As Scott said, in order for celiac disease testing to be valid, you need to be eating generous amounts of gluten on a regular basis for weeks or months before the blood draw. The blood tests are designed to detect antibodies that the immune system produces in response to the ingestion of gluten. It takes time for them to build up in the blood to detectable levels.
