I went to see Dr Walter for my skin - and after reading some of these reviews and talking to my partner, it sounds like I had quite a similar experience. My partner and I are both research Drs - while we are not qualified health professionals, we both have PhDs in medical research. Positives - he prescribed me some more steroid cream and a new moisturiser to try. Negatives - His first suggestion to me was to try cutting out wheat and dairy. I'm not aware of any evidence to suggest wheat/dairy intake are linked to my skin condition, more than any other common food allergens (egg, fish, nuts etc). I mentioned perhaps (if something in my diet was triggering my eczema) some form of formal allergy/patch testing and/or a referral to a dermatologist or dietitian would be a better option... He further suggested I "de-normalise sugar" and suggested a book on amazon which he has recently purchased "how to relax, eat, move and sleep"... While I agree, a healthy, balanced, diet is very important, I found his approach incredibly frustrating.
