I can see it healing from the inside out as my skin slowly sheds away the outer rash naturally. I look forward to using less Vit C.
However, it could be a carbohydrate issue as well. The body converting the sugars in bread and other simple carb foods that cause the auto-immune disease eczema. So I'm certainly curious.
One fact is that as a society we need less "ulterior motive" studies for diet and I'd need to see a lot more studies before I'd believe this over my own bodies reaction from less wheat.
However, if one of my friends roll their eyes at me for ordering less wheat in my foods it's a clear indication that they're an ass-hat and I need to find better friends. Eczema is a real bitch.

I drastically decreased my carbs and my skin is way better, I have psoriasis and I am currently not even using prescribed creams on my skin. This is with me having 1 night a week where I take in lots of carbs, so its not intolerance as much as a lot of carbs in my diet just meant much worse skin. I also consume way less sugar and dairy. Just feel much better.
