No, I was never picked on because of it. I just get people asking if I know I have a rash on my arms.

I hope you all get notified of this post, because an ayurvedic dr. recommended the herb manjistha, which I can only find online at an ayurveda site, for MY KP, andit worked really well- it's a mild skin detoxifier but taken by mouth. Am trying to add it to my 18 mo old's oats in the am, we'll see if that helps him.

I am not familiar with that.  I will definitely look in it.  DD is now nearly 2, and she still has KP, in spite of increasing the fat in her diet and giving her gobs of flax oil.  It is obvious that sometimes it bothers her, but she loves to have my oil blend rubbed into her skin.  She is not gluten-free at the moment, although we did a 3 month trial last fall with no positive results.  She, by choice, doesn't eat much in the way of grains. She doesn't really like bread, will eat only minimal white (not brown) rice, occasional small amounts of quinoa or millet.  She really doesn't eat much oatmeal.  I am at a loss dietarily speaking.
