Hi All,
No,I was not born by C-section nor have I taken a lot of antibiotics in childhood or as an adult. I have taken more medication in the last 18 months than I had up to the age of 48 !

I would like to find out if any one is attending the CARF conference. I wonder if there is a way to submit questions even if we are not attending.

Hi ladies thank you for answering my question.

I was also given antiobiotics as an infant for pneomonia so this would gave added to the problem and I have read about leaky gut. Clearly when we take part in research the derms need to go back to our infancy to get the whole picture.

I would probably endorse the anti-biotic theory. Oddly enough, some of us have been prescribed these in the cocktail of drugs we are taking. I am beginning to wonder whether the 'cocktail' probably exacerbates the condition, although I understand some of us feel the condition is better since being on the drugs.  The question which the derms cannot answer, of course, is whether the drugs have helped or whether the condition would have improved anyway.  What a conundrum ! x

Debs, I wasn't born by C Section either, but what you are talking about sounds alot like leaky gut syndrome,which is an over abundance of bad bacteria. I started reading about it when I was first diagnosed, as I have had gastrointestinal issues for years. Probably from a lifetime of eating wrong. I believe overuse of antibiotics can cause the condition as well.

Hi Debs, I wasn't born by C section but my daughter was and she suffers from numerous allergies. I'd never made that connection.
Liz, is your hair still growing back? I do hope so! X

Dysbiosis in gut caused by being born by C section. I just saw a discussion on TV where a doctor spoke about dysbiosis (this means your bacteria in your gut has the wrong type of bacteria and is harmful ) when you are born by C section, which I was back in 1963, you do t receive your mothers healthy gut bacteria during birth and this lasts a lifetime and is proven to cause obesity, Crohns etc.. Your immune system is affected. It just wonder his many of us with FFA were born by C section ?? This might just be a coincidence but since I was born by C section I wanted to ask the rest of you ladies.
