It was tomatos!

So Isabel has had this TERRIBLE rash for forever. We tried everything. Rash cream, yeast cream, acidophillus, powder, homeopathics, breastmilk, cloth diapers, no diaper, disposable diapers, different soaps, etc. Nothing worked at all. She suffered for months with this rash. Even her doctor was stumped. Her bottom would even bleed! It was awful.

So, as a final attempt to solve this nasty problem, I took away almost all foods. We went back to what she started on. Banana and Avocado. She was nursing alot too. She wasn't happy, but I needed to know if it was food related. Within 1.5 days, it was gone. So obviously those two foods were fine.

We went to park day and we made stone soup. I watched everything go in, potatos, corn, onions, barley, carrots, etc. Everything seemed innocent enough. What I didn't see was the tomato juice they poured in! Well, low and behold, the rash was back.

So I called our homeopath for her thoughts on the tomato thing. She suggested putting her on a diet based on her blood type. Based on the descriptions, I assumed she was type A (doesn't do well on acidic foods) and went by that. For her, it meant no more tomato or oranges. The tomato is hard!! No spaghetti sauce or taco soup or chilli... her fav foods.

Guess what though... not even a hint of a rash! Completely gone for over a month now. I am totally amazed. We have been doing the similar things for Tom who is also type A and have seen improvement on his stomach issues as well.

So, if you are at all interested, check it out! It is called Eat Right for your Blood Type.

Very cool stuff!
