    • Knowledgeable Author and Relatable Info
After reading this book, it is evident that the author has helped many individuals with reducing inflammation and eczema. Her real life case study is relatable to so many moms I talk to who say casually "my child has eczema" or to those moms who see redness or bumps on their child's skin and also casually say "must be eczema" but there is no clinical diagnosis. But what about the mom who wants to know how they can help their children or themselves get to the bottom of it and heal from the inside out? That is where this book comes into play. Like Christa says, "rebuilding a house takes longer than burning it down" so this book is a great place for individuals with eczema to start their journey to learn how their bodies can feel when fueled with the proper diet. She helps you understand what eczema is and things that can trigger flare ups. I especially like her section on gut stress. The weekly meal plans, shopping and prep are helpful and laid out in an easy to follow format. I appreciate the variety of foods (some new and exciting to me!) that are included in the recipes. I will continue to recommend this cookbook as a guide for those struggling (or know those who struggle) with eczema and look forward to future publications from this author. Also - Christa's podcast a great place for me to get information to heal my body from the inside out - her guests are so intriguing! ... show more

    • Full of recipes with grains and legumes
I can't comment on whether this way of eating works for eczema, but I avoid grains (even gluten-free ones) due to cross-reactivity from celiac disease, and I don't digest legumes well and they are linked to leaky gut which I suspect is the problem underlying my eczema. This book is full of recipes using grains and legumes, so I returned it. ... show more

    • Super easy and delicious recipes!
Love this book! The recipes are super easy to follow and delicious. Just what my household needed during peak allergy season to reduce histamine load. Although I'm not the one with eczema in my house, I ended up making the recipes for my own meals because they are nutritious and taste so good.

    • Good information about foods that can exacerbate eczema
My daughter has eczema flare ups and I was eager to see if some dietary changes could help. This book has two parts. The first is about eczema and which foods to include and avoid in meals. Part Two has recipes which include those foods, everything from breakfast to desserts. The first three chapters have a lot of detail about eczema and its causes. It also touches on how certain foods can affect organs of the body and sleep patterns. There are diagrams, bullet points, and frequently asked questions to help make the information easily understandable. It talks about the different components of food and how to stock pantry and kitchen for an eczema friendly diet. It finishes with two weeks of suggested meal plans, which made it easier for me to get started. The recipes are presented so that I can glance at them and quickly see what's involved. Each one has color coded bars across it that lists the number of ingredients and if it is free of dairy, or nuts, if it can be made in a single pot, etc. Ingredients are listed on a column on the left and the steps in a right-hand column. The top of the page has a brief paragraph about the recipe and many of them list simple substitutions at the bottom. Some of the recipes have color photos that appear at the beginning of the chapters. The back of the book has some eczema resources for anyone wanting more information and the index is an excellent way to navigate through the book. I have tried several of these recipes for my daughter. I haven't seen a change in her eczema, (fortunately, she has a very mild case) but I have not been stringent with eliminating the foods the books suggests I avoid. I think it will be a slow process for me to gradually get rid of some foods and incorporate new ones. Hopefully it will help in the long run with her eczema, but if not, there are some really good, healthy recipes in here that I am glad to be able to make for my family. ... show more

    • Great for newly diagnosed or out-of-control eczema; more prescription than cookbook
This is a handy book for those with eczema, especially if you're newly diagnosed. I was diagnosed at 15, so I'm not a newbie to the issue, but I know many people are just given the diagnosis and some cream and sent on their way (especially if your GP diagnoses you rather than a derm or allergist). This book has some great front matter explaining what eczema is, the suspected causes and triggers, common triggers, food sensitivities vs true allergies, and a variety of treatment options. The author connects food triggers and breakouts really clearly. The diet is laid out in two phases: an elimination phase of the most common triggers, followed by limited reintroduction (so, typical elimination diet, but focused on common eczema triggers). The recipes are pretty limited--this is more of a guidebook for determining food triggers and a prescription for an elimination diet than a "cookbook" in its true sense, though there are enough recipes to get you through a few days of the reintroduction phase. I have already been through the process with a functional medicine doctor, and this is very much the way I went through it, though I wasn't given any recipes, only a list of "don't eats." I was able to deduce a few food triggers from the process (pretty much anything that cross-reacts with ragweed), so IMO it's definitely worth doing, and this saves you the trouble of the doctor visit (and gives you ideas for what to eat when your field is narrowed). Most of the recipes are not super creative, but it's nice that there are desserts and vegan/vegetarian options. I made the lamb, which was good (not spectacular, but good) and the cod packets, which my husband really liked. I made the lamb with no additions/changes because I'm not a very practiced cooker of lamb (?), and I zhuzhed up the cod just a bit (nothing prohibited--just some additional herbs). It's definitely a diet one can live with and enjoy for the duration of an elimination trial, and if you're suffering from eczema with unknown triggers, I highly recommend giving it a shot. Also, if you're newly diagnosed, it's a great primer with accurate, up-to-date information that is easy to digest and will help you get a handle on what you can do to alleviate/prevent flares. ... show more

    • Book is Worth a Try
As someone who suffers from eczema, I can tell you it it is annoying. As the author alluded to, steroid creams is not the full answer. I have been searching for a book like this to help guide me in a more conservative approach. The author is a registered dietitian with a private practice “focusing on eczema, digestive, autoimmune, hormone, and allergy issues”. She begins by giving a quick overview of eczema- not in technical terms. She further explains the triggers in foods that can exacerbate eczema flare-ups. The section that I am most interested in is on pages 35-37 “Restricted Foods List”. It lists the Histamine-triggering foods. Wow! I had no idea some of the foods I have been eating could be causing a eczema flare-up. The recipes are mostly dairy, nut, and gluten-free. I like that each recipe has a blurb about an ingredient. For instance, I didn’t know Brussels sprouts has properties that help with eczema. Some of the ingredients are specialized. I will need to wait for grocery stores to get better stocked during this shelter-in-place order. Meanwhile, I will avoid triggering foods and see how it goes. ... show more

    • Unfortunately this book has some complicated and expensive recipes not for the average family.
I really enjoyed this book I do have mixed feelings about it. I do suffer from eczema but it is caused from medications I need to take during cancer treatment so I am always looking for ways to help improve my overall health. Many of the recipes are quite good but some of the food suggestions in this book are not typical diet fare for most families so be forewarned that many recipes call for harder to find ingredients. Some of them I have never even heard of before. The recipes can also be time consuming and expensive to make so that is a drawback. I don't need every meal to be simplistic or fast but I do have a food budget and time constraints on some days of the week. I also have to balance that with foods my family will actually eat so unfortunately the more expensive or elaborate meals (with expensive ingredients) are not a good option for me for the variety of reasons I just mentioned. That left me with limited choices but this book does have some handy information. I am just not sure it will be for everyone. I received this book from Callisto Publishing and Rockridge Press for an honest review. ... show more

    • More than a cookbook
This book can be helpful for those who have eczema as long as they also work with a trusted physician who specializes in eczema and other skin conditions. The author is a registered dietitian and eczema sufferer herself with knowledge from her own disease treatment and research. I found the first section of the book to contain more information than necessary since the book is labeled a diet and cookbook. While reading through the book I was a bit confused. I was not sure if the author was writing about her own eczema and health issues or for an adult with eczema, a parent of a child with eczema, or her clients. At one point the author states “There’s a good chance you’re reading this book on behalf of your child with eczema" but in other sections goes back and forth referencing ( p 18,) “your own eczema”, talks about herself, then again talks about a child with eczema. Perhaps the discussion should be for people who have eczema in general, then separate sections addressed to parents of children (there is one on p 17 with suggestions) with eczema or adults with eczema. On p 37 when discussing children the author states "To satisfy picky eaters, offer a fresh fruit or vegetable that takes less than 60 seconds to prepare". What is the significance of 60 seconds here? In my opinion the book should have started at page 22. If not then maybe change the title to reflect more than a diet and cookbook. There is so much to know about eczema and it seemed as though the author was restricted in word count by the publisher to adequately address eczema and its triggers. Without further explanations readers could misinterpret the information. It is a diet and cookbook so I feel it would be more appropriate to just list triggers such as stress as well as treatment and refer the reader to their physician. There is a discussion on the role of food and what is in food that can trigger eczema and related flares. There is a symptom questionnaire and food symptom diary. It would be helpful if the food symptom diary was on one page instead of two in case the reader wanted to make copies to use daily. There are many other helpful suggestions. I was a bit put off by the author using the term eczema diet experiment, kids instead of children, and carbs instead of carbohydrates but that's just my opinion. The author states "Certain cooking appliances (p 30) are needed to make recipes like smoothies or pesto. Here's what you need:" however, the cooking equipment listed shows a slow cooker, Dutch oven, sheet pans, and spiralizer, none of which I would use for smoothies and pesto. I also would have expected when (P 32, item 4) the author suggests keep on hand foods that are always allowed that it would be more foods that can be eaten if hungry rather than baking soda, salt, cream of tartar, and white vinegar. On P 39 the author uses the terminology “sometimes landing on the right formula”. I would think stating finding or selecting the right formula would be more appropriate. The allowed and restricted foods list could have been expanded upon. Corn was not listed in starches or vegetables or on any of the lists but later addressed briefly (p47) as a skin aggravating food. Corn flour products are often used by those who avoid wheat. There are some food brands mentioned in the back of the book. I would expect more recommendations for brands to make this a helpful book. Having sample meal plans is helpful. There is some repetition of meals and use of leftovers in the meal plans. I found further confusion when comparing the food discussions with the meal plans and recipes. P 48 lists starting with avocado in the hierarchy but it is the 2nd food reintroduced on the menu plan. Garlic is on the restricted foods list but the meal plan includes recipes containing a garlic ingredient and introduced the same day as a recipe including strawberries. This seems contradictory to the recommendations in the meal plan if only one food is introduced at a time. Then after the meal plans supplements and lifestyle recommendations are discussed. At this point there should be a recommendation to reinforce checking with a physician to determine if there is a need for certain supplements or if there would be an issue with any prescription medications and supplements. The author recommends taking a nutrient snapshot that I feel needs a bit more explanation of how to interpret it or what to do with it. I also would have expected more information on introducing foods, rather than just a list, especially for dairy. There is a nice variety of recipes that are easy to read and understand as well as nicely labeled for certain allergens and dietary preference. They all sound very enticing. Additional information such as yield, prep and cook time, and nutrient information is included. Each recipe has a fun introduction to learn more about certain foods, how the author used the recipe, and more. Some recipes do contain many ingredients which may not work for readers who have time constraints, especially if an ingredient (egg free mayo, egg substitutes, parsley pesto) in a recipe needs to be prepared before making the final recipe. There are resources and references in the back of the book. It would have also been helpful to include a glossary of terms the reader may not be familiar with, for example, fungal markers. Overall, it's a good book for eczema meal plans and recipes. Many times people who need to restrict their diets for food triggers don't know where to start. This book can help. I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher. All opinions are honest and my own. I was not required to write a review. ... show more

    • There are better books out there for Eczema suffers.
I have gotten other books on this subject. I do have eczema. I have seen improvement when following other programs. But this book leaves a lot to be desired. I got a few helpful tips from the front of the book. That's where it explains what eczema is and what causes it. I've taken many of the supplements recommended. But I have never completely gotten rid of my eczema nor even gotten close. I had thought this book might offer me something I haven't heard, done or seen before. Nope! Pretty much the same ole stuff. Change up your diet. I have been able, like I said to get some improvement by doing this. But the food suggestions in this book are horrible. Not anything an ordinary person would make. The recipes call for hard to find ingredients I've never heard of before. I don't have a fortune to spend! And the recipes call for so many ingredients. No quick and easy meals here. There may have been (4) total recipes I would even try. So overall, this is a NO for me on this book. There are a lot better ones out there. ... show more

    • Comprehensive and well laid out
This was a very comprehensive look at eczema - starting with root causes (diet, stress, triggers), a two part meal plan with a break down of symptoms, foods, even cooking utensils. Phase 1 (one week or longer if needed) is plant based and includes breakfast, lunch and dinner. Phase 2 teaches you how to reintroduce foods from less typically triggering foods to the higher suspected triggers - while keeping track of progress. It also includes lifestyle changes regarding sleep, exercise and counseling if stress related. The second half of the book is recipes broken up into breakfast and beverages, soups, salads and sides, vegan/vegetarian, meat and fish, desserts and staples. There is a great variety to choose from but very few photos - always a downside for me. But tags for 5 ingredients, dairy/gluten/nut-free are at the beginning of each recipe. I'm still working my way through this but have found a lot of useful information and would recommend it as a beginners guide to anyone with eczema. ... show more

The Eczema Relief Diet and cookbook is full of good information and recipes. I got this for my dad because he has been having eczema/rash problems these past few months and has never had them before. He hasn't followed the diet long enough to know if it works yet. However, the recipes are healthy, easy-to-follow recipes with ingredients that are readily available so that part is a win for us. The book also offers other advice and treats the problem holistically looking at it from more angles than just diet--such as stress and environment, which we liked.

There is helpful information in this book. However, I am not interested in something that requires a complete overhaul of my kitchen. I cannot afford to toss out just about everything in my pantry and replace it with foods and spices listed in these recipes. I'm familiar with eating whole or pure foods as opposed to processed foods and for the most part do that. I don't mind cooking or spending time in my kitchen prepping foods, but don't have a lot of time to do so as I work 10 hour days and have an hour commute each way.
