![]() Bread, coffee, cheese, sugary pastries, beer. What intrigued me, though, was that I talked to a few friends about it after we returned and I heard a similar refrain… while they were overseas, their skin/digestive/energy/pain problems went away, no matter what they ate. Only about 2 months after returning home did it rear its ugly head again. She ate anything and everything as we traveled through South America, Europe, the Middle East, East Africa, Asia and Australia. When that didn’t cause any exacerbation of the problem, we let her eat regular bread with the rest of the family.Īnd oddly enough, the longer we were out of North America, the more the eczema disappeared. So we gave up and began letting her have a little dairy, just some yogurt and cheese at first. For 6 weeks, I did everything I could to find gluten, grain and dairy free options for this little girl, but as time went on, it proved increasingly difficult to get the things I needed, what with the language and cultural barriers, being on the road and needing to eat out frequently, and all those other things that go along with travel. The first time this happened we were on the initial leg of our around-the-world trip two years ago, living in Argentina for 3 months. Within a couple weeks of being on the road and allowing her to eat freely in another country, bye-bye eczema. This can be very frustrating and I do wonder if she needs to go back on GAPS for an extended period of time, go completely grain free indefinitely, leave behind dairy (yes, even raw) or some other such change, all things we are contemplating for when we return home this spring.īut… when we travel, it all just magically disappears. But with poor Johanna, it’s just never gone away. With our two older children, we managed to bring complete healing to the issue (my first three children all suffered with eczema and food sensitivities, though with dietary changes, my fourth has not, thank goodness!). Yet even with all those efforts, we only seem to keep it at bay so that it doesn’t get too out of hand. She has also done the GAPS diet as a toddler, seen a naturopath about her eczema and I personally have learned as much as I can about it for our kid’s sake. Whereas at home, we keep her completely gluten free, give her probotics regularly, try to keep up on our fermented cod liver oil, and we serve healing foods like homemade chicken bone broth as often as possible. We occasionally resort to foods I’d consider junky out of sheer desperation for something to eat. We eat far less fermented foods, other than having yogurt as often as possible. Our grains are rarely sprouted or sourdough (in fact, we frequently eat regular wheat when we travel, since we can’t find alternatives like spelt or kamut). It’s curious to me, because our diet is not nearly as careful while traveling as it is at home. Our youngest daughter’s eczema, a constant source of irritation while in North America, simply disappears elsewhere in the world. He was central to his team's play but he and they struggled to break down a stern and stubborn Argentina defence.While traveling overseas, I’ve noticed something peculiar. Fortunately for him, Brazil were unable to make him pay despite five minutes of time added on at the end.Īnd while Messi was subdued, the same can be said for Brazil talisman Neymar, who was left in tears by the result at the final whistle. Messi finished the tournament's joint top goalscorer with four goals and collected his individual honour for player of the tournament before getting his hands on the trophy itself.īut in truth, he was quiet throughout the final and uncharacteristically missed a golden opportunity to wrap the game up with just two minutes remaining.Īfter being picked out by De Paul, Messi had the ball and the game at his feet in the six-yard area but appeared to lose his footing and Ederson promptly smothered the opening. Brazil piled on the pressure in an exciting second half but even with five strikers on the field they could not get an equaliser against an Argentine defence protected by the outstanding De Paul.
