Dousing for allergies?

My baby has had eczema since she was about two months old. She's now 21 months old and still has it. I've tried using different moisturisers but I think it also has to do with allergies. She breaks out in itchy hives when she has milk products and raw eggs (in icecream) so obviously I keep her off these. I want to find out if the eczema is caused by other food (though it's somewhat in the family as well) so I'm thinking of doing dousing. Has anyone tried this? TIA

allergy testing does not always work for a child thats younger than two...could still be the child has allergies but the results wont show..also,only if the child is really allergic wilI it show ..might very well be that its just a food sensitivity but still causes the excema.The only way to figure this out is either through guessing and trying etc or dousing ,muscle testing etc.

There are literally thousands (millions?) of kids who have had allergies accurately diagnosed as infants and toddlers. Mild allergies included. Statistically, it is far more accurate than any other form of alternative testing.

my baby had horrible eczema all over his body. I took him for testing at an allergist. they did a "prick test" with the special serums and they also did a blood test.

he was found to have an egg and peanut allergy. I completely removed the two from his diet and his eczema cleared up a lot. he still breaks out once in a while, probably because he ingested something he shouldn't have, but it has gotten much much better.

I am not familiar with dousing but I think traditional medicine should be attempted before resorting to alternatives.

I think you should consider alternative medicine-dousing. I have a very close relative who does health kinesiology and is mostly busy with allergy babies. She finds out all food intolerance and people are really helped. And these people have always been to top allergists and doctors first!! You can pm me for name and info

Of course you could try regular route first. But you never go crazy when trying alternative. I think it opens you up to so many new things. And helps you understand your problem. I've heard so many success stories first hand with allergy kids. It's unbelievable. Whatever you chose to try first, I wish you lots of hatzluche.

It's spelled dowsing and considering its alternative, if you do not know how to spell it, you do not know enough about it to try it before proven, scientific standard medicine. Try an allergist first.

I'm all for alternative in some cases, but allergies are serious business. So yeah, if you do traditional allergy testing and nothing shows up and you think there may be something, by all means try alternative. But IMO it is irresponsible to go straight to something that does not have research supporting its validity and effectiveness when so much is at stake.

Also, for people who don't have extra money floating around, alternative stuff usually comes out of pocket whereas traditional is generally covered by insurance.

At 21 months, testing by an allergist should be pretty straightforward. I googled Dowsing and apparently it's best for severe allergies but not so good identifying sensitivities. An allergy test would show sensitivities.
