Please can I have some experience with eczema. I'm currently having a battle with my difficult ex and overbearing ex MIL.
My daughter has pretty mild eczema. It flared up last winter and we agreed to cut dairy from her diet. It made absolutely no difference whatsoever, and resolved itself as the warmer months arrived. I have slowly introduced dairy back into her diet, although mainly give her oat milk etc, as that what she's used to.
Now her eczema has flared up again and I'm being criticised by both for not removing dairy again. I have tried to suggest that other factors are at play, as the removal of dairy made no impact.
My ex and mother in law maintain that it is the dairy, because my ex was dairy intolerant. They refuse to listen to my experience of having skin issues as a child, which were usually as a result of shampoos, bath bubbles and washing detergents. This refusal to consider she might have anything that I may have experienced as a child has been the case since she was born, always with the focus on my ex husbands issues as a child, which from what I can tell were extensive. He seems to have had a very restricted diet due to lots of Allergies, despite nothing ever having been confirmed.
My MIL takes my daughter swimming each week which was always a trigger for dry skin for me. They also keep horses which as a major allergy trigger for me. However, they are refusing to consider anything I say. How can I deal with this?
