Jenn: Must have!

Laura BLaura B: I purchased this book after Karen Fisher recommended her FID program for my toddler in a Facebook group. I can’t say if this diet would or wouldn’t have the results it lists, but I have serious doubts the general population could make this diet work for a toddler.

It would be difficult enough for an adult who can understand the benefits to tough through the first 4 weeks on a list of less than 50 foods (which includes spices).

I’d like to think of our household as generally healthy and open minded - we’ve explored various gluten free/dairy free lifestyles - but I made a variety of the recipes to test what my toddler would or wouldn’t eat to see if we could get by on 4 weeks of the same food everyday and she wouldn’t eat one thing. The weekly meal plan listed a sandwich multiple days for lunch with no sides. If your toddler will eat plain chicken breast (freshly cooked each day) on a bread they aren’t used to with no toppings… maybe you’d have luck with this.

If you’re looking for something to help your toddler, I’d be hard pressed to think you’ll find the solution in this book…. I was so hopeful.

1 star because I wouldn’t...

Chrissy Levier: Taught me so many things I didn’t know! My doctor just threw a topical steroid ointment at me with no other helpful solutions. Everyone is different, and this book breaks it down so you can figure out where your body fits. Game changer for me. Just by reading, I could figure out some of the triggers for me. While I appreciate the value of doctors, this book was more insightful and helpful so I can better learn my body, what triggers, and what heals. Highly recommend!!

Sarah G: I found this book extremely informative and purchased even after reading the reviews about the parsley and papaya. Some ingredients are a little unusual but I was able to get everything I needed from the grocery store and well.ca.

I ended up with a full body rash which I believe was contact dermatitis do to insulation exposure to my skin. My whole body would break out in a red itchy rash and the only thing that would settle it was antihistamines. I took them every 1-3 days for 5 months because that was the only thing that would give me relief but it wasn’t solving the issue and I didn’t want to keep taking them for such an extended duration.

I am on the first week of the eczema detox program and I haven’t had to take a antihistamine in 7 days - I can’t even begin to explain the relief I feel. This book has given me my life back.

I don’t believe there is a one type fix all - but for me this has made a world of difference and is working!

Ben ChinburgBen Chinburg: Results from week one on “The eczema diet” Karen Fischer books.
I hit 30 (I’m 35 now) and have experienced 5 very painful years of severe eczema. It started on my hands and arms which are the most stubborn areas (they are scarred) but when it hit my face I lost it. 2018 my face/neck started flaring. I could no longer “hide” my condition with long sleeve shirts.

Like many of us I have been on nearly every prescription, tried every recommendation - maybe i didn’t want to admit my eating habits were the true culprit? I’m out standed and teary eyed. ONE week, wow! My face/neck are nearly clear.

My hands and arms are the worst but wanted to express how thankful I was to have a book that clearly illustrates the “ Eczema Diet “

Amélie: Cette diète a grandement aider mon eczéma et à améliorer ma qualité de vie ( 21 ans d'eczéma non controlé). Même après avoir coupé les allergènes classiques, ce n'était pas assez pour soulager mes démangeaisons. Elle évoque vraiment les nutriment plutôt que les aliments et explique en détails et de manière vulgarisé la raison pourquoi ces aliments ou nutriments sont bon ou non. Même après des années de recherches sur le sujet, j'ai appris beaucoup de choses dans ce livre!

Michelle Lee: I bought this book as a desperate last attempt to heal my skin as I had tried many other strategies for months. My eczema was from head to toe and was so bad that I could not sleep. I could really only sleep for maybe 20 min intervals because I was just so itchy. I tried all sorts of creams, medications, specialty soaps and seen all sorts of specialists. It wasn't until I started eating according to the instructions in this book that i saw REAL results. It took about 6 months for me to completely heal my skin and I've never looked or felt better! Now, I no longer need to use any sort of hydrocortizone creams. This book saved my life!

m3b: This diet works! I have had eczema for over 15 years. I have tried everything, with little success. About 9 months ago I tried the Eczema Diet, the older version of this. After a couple of months my eczema was almost gone. About that time I got this book for the extra recipes. It has some updated information, and a special diet to start with that really helps you determine what is causing your eczema. After much success life got busy and I ended up not being able to follow the diet as faithfully. And, as time went on I slipped more and more. As I got away from my diet my eczema returned. I started again, this time with the diet from this book rather than the Eczema Diet book. After a couple of weeks my eczema is 95% gone- the best it has been in 15 years. It's not the easiest diet, but it is very doable, and so worth it!

JJ Straf: 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...
