WHO’S AFFECTED

An estimated 10 to 20 percent of infants and young children in the U
S

Worldwide, about 7% of people have some form of eczema during their lives

Those who have asthma and hay fever
Eczema is an itchy, scaly rash often caused by sensitivity to foods, certain chemicals, or environmental conditions such as dryness
The rash is not always a true allergic reaction, but an immune system reaction to a normally harmless substance
Symptoms can appear anywhere from a few minutes to several hours after exposure to the offending food or substance
Eczema runs in families, often along with a tendency to develop asthma, hay fever, or hives
The most common type of eczema is atopic dermatitis; the term “atopic” refers to a personal and family tendency to develop eczema, asthma, or hay fever
Other types include contact dermatitis, which occurs after a substance damages the skin, and seborrheic eczema, which is better known as dandruff, or greasy, scaly patches on the skin or scalp

Nutrition Connection

While some foods may help alleviate eczema, some foods may trigger it
Note these guidelines: Test for

Allergies

Common culprits include eggs, dairy products, seafood, walnuts, and pecans
Cow’s milk can cause eczema in babies and small children; goat’s milk or soy milk may be better tolerated
Many children outgrow their sensitivities by the age of six, but others have lifelong recurrences
Consume more antioxidants
Dryness may cause eczema by triggering the formation of free radicals and therefore may be countered by antioxidants such as beta-carotene
Brightly colored fruits and vegetables including apricots, squash, mangoes, carrots, pumpkin, and sweet potatoes are good choices
Eat foods rich in essential fatty acids
Foods like vegetable oils, fatty fish, and flaxseed may decrease swelling by helping to generate hormone-like substances called prostaglandins, which reduce inflammation

QUICK TIP:

Drink oolong tea
Three cups of oolong tea may help relieve the symptoms of eczema
The polyphenols in the tea suppress allergic responses

Get lots of vitamin B6
Some researchers believe a diet rich in vitamin B6 protects against sensitivity rashes
Good sources include oily fish, meats, legumes, bananas, brown rice, wheat germ, and leafy green vegetables
