I stumbled across this one day: www.solveeczema.org Haven't tried it myself but it's an interesting theory that detergents are the cause (including detergent residues on dishes etc and this sensitizes the gut etc) and a well-written...

ok, thanks. Any particular brands to recommend? How long do I keep giving them? years? kehliouise - I guess the general idea is that probiotics can only help... but especially after antibiotics etc... I don't know much more than that.
