Elimination diet for baby's skin asthma

In a desperate attempt to handle baby Milk's skin asthma (eczema), I've started an elimination diet.

My diet plan is to eat from a very limited list of 'safe food' and slowly introduce more items.

When I started, my assumed safe foods were: rice, buckwheat, pear, apple, olive oil.

The first day I ate rice all day and then her evening diaper had some blood in it for the first time ever. Bad start! Did I discover my allergen right away?

No more rice. Buckwheat is now my daily meal. Good thing I like it.

Today is day 3 of the diet and I'm not sure whether I'm seeing an improvement in Milk's skin. I think I do, but it could just be wishful thinking.
