Foods To Avoid For Eczema Relief

If you suffer from red, scaly, dry patches of skin that are extremely itchy, you may have eczema. Also known as atopic dermatitis, eczema is an allergy-related skin condition common in young adults, children and infants. Simple measures can often help to minimize symptoms and provide relief - try eliminating cows' milk and all cows' milk products from your diet, as well as foods that contain partially hydrogenated vegetable oils (found in snack foods and baked goods - fortunately, this has become rare) and trans-fatty acids (margarine, vegetable shortening). Give these changes some time and see if they help.
