I believe so much in the work that I do, but there are a few things I feel really strongly about when it comes to supporting families navigating childhood eczema.

As a parent who has been through it, I know how overwhelming it can be to constantly feel like there’s something else you should be doing. Another trigger to avoid. Another supplement to try. Another thing in your home you need to worry about.

And I never want to be another person adding to that stress.

I think there’s a way to educate families about potential contributing factors without making them afraid of everything around them.

I think you can believe in an integrative approach while still recognizing that conventional medicine has its place.

And I think you can be really knowledgeable in your field while also recognizing that you don’t know everything.

I’m constantly learning. From research, from other practitioners, and honestly, from the families I work with.

I don’t think any one practitioner has all the answers, and I definitely don’t think every child with eczema needs the exact same approach.

At the end of the day, I want families to feel like they have more clarity, more confidence, and more support than they did before working with me.

Not more fear. Not more guilt. And definitely not a longer list of things they’re doing wrong.

You can take childhood eczema seriously without making families feel like they have to fear everything. 🤍

Last October, I would’ve given anything to see her like this.

When I watch these videos, I remember so much more than her skin. I remember trying to figure out what was helping, what was making things worse, and what we were missing. I remember how hard it was to make decisions when all I wanted was for her to be comfortable.

I might be a “practitioner” but I’m also her mom. Having knowledge doesn’t take away the emotion of watching your own child struggle. I know what it feels like to look for progress every morning and feel discouraged when another flare shows up.

That experience shapes how I work with families. I bring my training and clinical judgment, but also an understanding of what it takes to carry out a plan while caring for an uncomfortable child and keeping the rest of your life going.

We’ve had to pay attention to her individual responses, make thoughtful changes, and reassess along the way. Knowing when to stay consistent matters. So does knowing when something needs another look.

She still has a ways to go, and we’re working on getting the mold piece addressed. But the progress you see here happened before any remediation. That doesn’t make addressing our environment any less important but it does mean we’ve been able to support her and see improvement while working toward that next step.

As a practitioner, I know every child’s situation is different. As her mom, I know how hard it is to look beyond the struggle right in front of you.

I can’t promise your journey will look like ours. But I hope seeing her now gives you a little hope for what you might not be able to see yet. 🤍

Parasites don’t always announce themselves through visible worms in the stool.

Sometimes the clues look like things that are easily brushed off as “normal.” Frequent stomachaches, persistent bloating, loose stools, fatigue, low iron, or irritability without an obvious explanation.

One symptom alone does not mean your child has a parasite. Many of these signs can have several possible causes. But when multiple clues continue showing up together, the pattern may deserve a closer look.

Exposure is only part of the picture. We also consider how well the child’s natural digestive and immune defenses are functioning.. those systems are in place to help protect the body from organisms we encountered every day.

PCR-based stool testing can look for genetic material from specific parasites while also giving us a broader look at the gut environment. No single stool sample is perfect, so results should always be interpreted alongside the child’s symptoms and history.

If this list sounds familiar, it doesn’t mean you need to panic or immediately begin a parasite cleanse. It may simply be worth asking whether appropriate testing makes sense for your child.

Supporting a child through eczema, food reactions, digestive symptoms or another ongoing health concern creates a mental load that most people never see.

I’ve experienced this journey from both sides—as a mom trying to help my own child and as a practitioner helping other families navigate theirs. One thing I’ve learned is that the hardest part isn’t always the diet, supplements or appointments. Sometimes it’s feeling like every decision rests on you and constantly wondering whether you’re doing enough or getting it right.

That experience shapes the way I work with families now. I never want a mom to leave with more information but no idea what to do with it. I want her to understand the plan, feel comfortable asking questions and know that we can adjust along the way.

A good support system doesn’t have to understand every detail. They just need to be willing to listen, respect the boundaries you’ve put in place and help carry part of the load.

Sometimes the most helpful thing isn’t one more recommendation. It’s finally feeling like you’re not figuring it all out by yourself.

Your child deserves support through this journey..and so do you.

1. Less UV exposure

Once school starts, kids usually spend much more of the day indoors. That can mean less UVB exposure and less natural vitamin D production, which matters because vitamin D plays a role in immune regulation and skin-barrier function.

2. Higher immune demand

Back-to-school means more exposure to viruses and other microbes. Even if a child isn’t obviously sick, their immune system may be working harder than it was over the summer, which can sometimes coincide with worsening eczema.

3. Different food exposures

School lunches, classroom snacks, birthday treats, different oils and additives, and possible allergen cross-contact can all change the food picture. For kids with known food reactions, that can make triggers harder to track.

4. More indoor allergens + irritants

Classrooms can mean more time around carpeting, dust, fragrances, cleaning products, hand soaps, sanitizers, and allergens carried in on clothing. For a sensitive child, that cumulative exposure can matter.

5. More time in closed indoor environments

Kids may go from spending hours outside all summer to spending most of the day in one building. Ventilation, humidity, indoor air quality, and potential moisture or mold issues can all become more relevant.

None of these has to be the single cause of a flare.

When school starts, several things can shift at once—sunlight, immune demand, food exposure, allergens, and indoor air quality.

That’s why I look at the total change in exposure, not just one new trigger.

Picky eating can get dismissed really quickly as a phase, a personality thing, or a behavior problem.

Sometimes it is.

But when it’s a noticeable change from how a child used to eat, I pay attention to that shift.

Kids are really good at adapting. If certain foods, larger meals, or eating in general repeatedly make them feel uncomfortable, they may not be able to explain that clearly. They just start avoiding.

That’s why I care about patterns like a shrinking food list, refusing foods they previously loved, eating tiny amounts and saying they’re full, or becoming anxious around meals.

Those changes don’t automatically tell us what’s going on, but they can be clues that eating has become associated with discomfort.

The goal isn’t to force more variety before understanding what changed. The first step should be figuring out why eating stopped feeling easy.

Low elastase can affect a lot more than digestion.

Elastase gives us information about pancreatic enzyme output. When that output is low, food may not be broken down as efficiently before it moves farther through the digestive tract.

That can create a ripple effect.

More incompletely digested nutrients can move farther through the GI tract, which may influence the microbial environment. If digestion is significantly compromised, nutrient absorption can also become part of the picture.

And that matters in eczema.

The skin barrier, immune system, and tissue repair all depend on adequate nutrition and a healthy gut environment. So when a child has eczema alongside signs of poor digestion, that’s something we want to pay attention to.

Signs I look for include bloating, excessive gas, greasy or foul-smelling stools, poor weight gain or slowed growth, and signs of nutrient deficiency.

This does not mean low elastase causes eczema.

It means that when eczema and poor digestion are showing up together, we may need to look farther upstream instead of focusing only on the skin.

Sometimes the skin is where we see the problem, but digestion can be another important piece of the picture.

H. pylori doesn’t always look like obvious stomach pain, especially in kids.

Sometimes the things parents notice are much more subtle: persistent bad breath, frequent bloating, picky eating or poor appetite, reflux/vomiting, or changes in bowel habits like constipation, histamine reaction, etc.

One I especially pay attention to is picky eating.

Sometimes a child is simply selective. But sometimes what looks like picky eating is actually a child who has learned that eating doesn’t feel good. They may get full quickly, experience nausea or reflux, complain that their belly hurts, or simply start avoiding food because they associate eating with discomfort.

Does having one—or even several—of these symptoms mean your child has H. pylori? No. These are nonspecific symptoms with plenty of other possible causes, and constipation in particular isn’t a classic H. pylori symptom.

We test. We don’t guess.

When several digestive symptoms are showing up together, they’re persistent, and the clinical history supports it, H. pylori becomes one of the things we may want to investigate.

And if H. pylori does show up, we still look at the full picture—how much is present, whether virulence factors are present, what the rest of the microbiome looks like, how the gut is functioning, and whether the finding actually fits the child’s symptoms and history.

Finding H. pylori is one piece of the picture. How we interpret it in the context of the whole child is what helps guide what comes next.
