My son is 28 months old and despite my best efforts doing an elimination diet while nursing, limiting both of our diets (I ate rice, beans, veggies for 6-12 months), trying specific carb diet, various supplements (dairy-free probiotics, digestive enzymes, fish oil, cod liver oil), various doctors (chiropractors, craniosacral therapy, western practice, gastroentrologist, Peoples Rx, etc.), etc. my son still gets frequent diarrhea and eczema on his face.
I am praying that someone can recommend some type of doctor and/or naturopath (DO) who can tell me exactly what my son needs - his dietary needs, supplements, if he's deficient in nutrients, test him for candida/yeast and parasites, etc. I'm tired of guessing what's wrong, trying to fix him myself and don't know how to fix him at this point. He only eats eggs, meats, raisins, applesauce, bananas, and rice products (crackers). In addition to his limited diet, he's VERY picky and weird about food texture and colors. He's never been vaccinated nor had antibiotics.
We are by no means wealthy thus it's been difficult to find a natural doctor who we can afford. My son has Unicare and they don't cover DO's in town.

She's a fantastic nutritionist, and might be able to really help with your little one :)
Try Dr. Kendall Stewart off of Bee Caves in South Austin. He thinks outside of the box! Call and talk to the nurse and see if this is sommething he deals with. He just tested my son for all kinds of things and we found that he was vitamin B deficiant and had a moderate build up of heavy metals in the body.
try http://www.doctorzmd.com/zblog.html He is amazing, compassionate, and affordable. An MD that treats only holistically.
Allergy testing. My son had it when he turned 2. He did not cry once, during the 21 scratch test. Now we know what to stay away from.
