We went to the pediatrician 4 or 5 times and tried so many ointments. Lots of wrong diagnosis led to my frustration. Then someone suggested seeing an allergist. We learned he was allergic to eggs and dairy from when he consumed them directly because he broke out in hives. Through breast milk it was presenting as eczema. Once he tried wheat he also had hives from that. I had to remove those confirmed allergens from my diet and he was prescribed epipens. I have suspicions of other foods that he is sensitive to but not necessarily breaking out in hives. Those include beef, soy, tomatoes and strawberries.

Primarily diagnosed through seeing hives and then skin and blood test confirmed it. I knew something was wrong from the beginning because he used to cry so much and had such bad colic and gas. He also used to spit up significantly almost every feeding. Once allergens we’re removed form both of our diets his eczema cleared, he was a happier baby, and the gas issues also seemed to resolve.

Fiyya has terrible colic as a newborn, then she broke out in red, blistered eczema and would make herself bleed. She was constantly in pain and always was unsettled. Fiyya still has multiple food allergies. The only allergy so far that she’s overcome is wheat.


Fiyya has piriton and antihistamines for any reactions. We also use prescribed creams for her eczema. I didn’t use any websites mainly but I did do a google search at the time when I thought it was allergy related. Obviously google isn’t the best of sources but always listen to your motherly instinct.
