Cured from the misery of eczema


by Faiza Afzaal


LITTLE Florence Hampton’s life was blighted by eczema from when she was just a two-


month-old baby. The irritating and itching skin


condition covered the Clitheroe youngster’s body, keeping her awake at night. She would some­ times scratch until her skin bled, leading occasionally to skin infec­ tions. “It was dreadful,” said her moth­


er Wendy, who said lanolin or pe­ troleum-based emollients, suggest­ ed by doctors to help moisturise her skin, only made the condition worse. Wendy and her husband, Ben,


took their own steps to ease the eczema, for example by using plant oils on her skin, but six-year-old . Florence continued to suffer from the condition until they finally dis­ covered earlier this year what was


FLORENCE


to blame - the food she was eating. They sent off a pinprick of blood


to YorkTest, a food intolerance testing laboratory in York, and the results came back showing she was intolerant of 12 different food­ stuffs, including dairy products, eggs, wheat, gluten, brazil nuts and almonds.


They set about removing all the


rogue foods from her diet, for ex­ ample by switching from bread to rice cakes and using egg substitute. Within weeks, Florence’s con­


dition began improving and, after three months, the eczema had cleared up completely for the first time since she was a newborn baby.; Most foods have been reintro­ duced and there are now only a few things to avoid, which makes it easy for everyone.


: “It’s fantastic,” said Wendy. “She’s remained completely clear of eczema, apart from when she’s eaten too much of the wrong things, for example when she has been to a party. However, ! will normally send her to parties now with her own packed lunch to en­ sure she eats the right things. “The food intolerance test has led to a significant improvement in


her health.’.’ • For more information on the
