Lifelong eczema sufferer here, with the last 8 years or so being very dry, with the last 3 years being debilitating at times (Topical steroid withdrawal stress).

I never thought for a second that a change to my diet would change my skin, but I've now lived with such incredible skin for the last month that I cannot believe it. I don't need to use moisturizers, and my sleep has improved so much I don't even need to sleep a full 8 hours. I say all this not to brag, but to motivate you to give it a try if you are on the fence.

Keep it simple if your diet is important to you - this will ensure you stick with it. I recommend to pick one of the below 3 main allergens, but if you don't feel too motivated I recommend to just look at removing milk. There are studies showing that milk allergies are increasing recently, and for me I can certainly say milk was the cause for my dry skin as I've reintroduced the other two categories back into my diet with no issue.

• Dairy (Milk especially)

• Wheat

• Eggs

Even if you think this isn't relevant to you, please don't ignore it and at least give it a try! Give it a go for and see what happens after 2-4 weeks
