What a pain in the butt, right?

Really, it’s a gift. A wakeup call that our intestines, heart, liver, lungs, etc. may be hurting.

My eczema occurred after having a bunch of white flour baked treats from Au Bon Pain, over the course of several weeks. After ignoring it for a time, I’m now listening.

It happened on my three interior right hand fingers, with pimply breakouts then rough and broken skin. After watching my diet carefully, especially cutting back on sugar and chocolate and raw fruit (I have kids at home!), it got much better. A little stress, some alcohol and fruit salad and frozen yogurt, and boom, back again.

So now I’m being really good. Brown rice and veggies, miso soup and beans, and no sweets. In a week I’ll be rid of this mess.

One tip–use aloe to soothe and heal. It really works.
