Diet for Eczema
Eczema is often due to eating too much, or else too little and unsuitable food.
Meat should not be indulged in more than once a day. Shellfish, salmon, mackerel or herrings should not be eaten. Cereal preparations are good, but those made of wheat or barley are preferable to oatmeal. Almost all green vegetables are good, especially French beans, sprouts, spinach, lettuce and green peas, but potatoes, dried peas and beans and lentils and the heavier vegetables should be avoided or eaten very sparingly. Tea and coffee must be taken with great moderation. Any food that is causing disorder or retards the process of digestion must be strictly avoided – highly seasoned meats and souple, spiced sauces, new bread, pastry, cakes, cheese, apples, bananas (unless cooked), cabbage and tinned beef are also to be rigidly avoided.
