Sorry the solution has to hit so hard, though. Perhaps in his lifetime there will arise a medical option. Great news about Jensen’s condition improving. Sorry the solution has to hit so hard, though.

There are a couple of good internet groups on yahoo for ideas and support. Just search basic keywords - eczema, dermatitis etc. The start of the journey is overwhelming and highly emotional, but it does get a little easier as it becomes more a part of your lifestyle. Now our whole family eats much healthier whole foods. Another big one is to get rid of all SLS - hand soaps, shampoos etc. It can make a big difference. Good luck!!

I'm sure making your own is cheaper...but...with Charlie's, you don't have to use fabric softener of any kind AT ALL, because it's reallyreallyreally clean rinsing. And, you only have to use 1 Tbsp. per load (or 1oz. if you get the liquid version) - even large ones. I bought it when I started using cloth diapers, and I now use it for ALL my laundry. It's amazing stuff. :-) It's hypo-allergenic, non-toxic, and biodegradable. Pretty cool. www (dot) charliessoap (dot) com I think. Out of curiousity, have you ever checked out Charlie’s Soap?

Instead I pick up a block of glycerin soap at Michaels (Large block for about $8) and use that instead--it works perfect and is much more gentle.

It's so cool to see all the helpful suggestions whenever a blogger posts a problem or issue. I feel like I'm getting an education. And it just may come in handy some day if/when I meet someone who has a similar problem. And the homemade laundry soap is such a great idea! The internet is a wonderful thing!

When it's a dietary problem it's amazing how quickly you can see a change. Also, just so you know, if it is a gluten problem, the dairy thing may go away after a few months. It did for us. When I first had to put my kids gluten-free, my only rule was it had to be gluten-free. Nutrition would come AFTER I figured out what gluten-free stuff they would eat. So here's a list of some mainstream gluten-free junk food for you. You'll have to double-check to see if they are dairy free. - Oscar Meyer hot dogs - Delimex taquitos: The kind in the corn tortillas. They come in chicken or steak and don't have cheese. Read the label to make sure you're getting the right kind and that they don't have dairy. - Mission Tortilla Chips - the plain salted kind. Also the taco shells and the corn tortillas. Mission is a big staple in our house. -Peanut butter: Put some on celery or apples, or smear a gob of it on a plate and let him eat it however he wants to. Or let him have some tortilla chips. Also, a good thing to know is that Kraft, McCormick and Frito-Lay all have a policy of clearly disclosing any allergens. So any gluten or dairy will be listed in plain english and not behind a latin name or behind vague descriptors like "modified food starch" or "natural flavors". Kraft is the parent company of so many brand names it's not funny. So if you're reading a label and it says Kraft, you can be sure there's nothing in there that's not on the label. A lot of what I buy is from those three companies. Nancy I’m so excited for you that he’s feeling better. When it’s a dietary problem it’s amazing how quickly you can see a change.

I use the same basic ingredients and method. However, you may be able to save yourself a step and not blend it. I have never blended it and everything is just fine here! (I do use the fels naptha bar soap.) We don't have sensitive skin issues, so maybe the blending helps with rinsing or something. I am also able to use 1 T of the stuff instead of 1/8 cup. If I've got a heavy load I toss in another T. Works for Me! I’ve made my own laundry soap for years. I use the same basic ingredients and method.
