You know my son has been MUCH better with his eczema for over a month since I put him on Probiotics. Then in the last 3 days it got much worse. Long story short I came to the conclusion body pH must be too acidic for the GOOD bacteria otherwise I wouldn't have to KEEP giving him Probiotics everyday.( The bacteria should have grown/replicated on their own) So his pH must be too low/acidic. Then it dawned on me that recently I had been giving him OJ..very acidic for the last few days. I gave him 1/8 teaspoon baking soda in 1 1/2 Cups milk last night to raise pH so it was higher more base/alkaline. This morning his eczema had went from down from 9 to 3 (1-10 scale) in redness OVERNIGHT! I think this confirms my theory. He is young so still does not eat alot of green veggies which also makes your pH more alkaline but I am continuing to try to get more of these foods in his diet. If pH is righ then bacteria should grow on their own, absorbing more nutrients healing your skin from the inside out. Taking Probiotics to help get your GI track "seeded" while raising pH should help your skin get more nutrients and become healthier.

Let me know if this info helped you.
I hope it does.
Either way I wish you well.

PS Body pH makes since .. if you have urinary track infection (UTI) you drink cranberry juice which is highly acidic to kill bacteria and get rid of the infection.
