We have a diagnosis!

A self-diagnosis but one nonetheless... Topical Steroid Addiction. Keegan is going through withdrawal... poor kid. Thanks to a blog I found (Loren & her son Kline), I have my answer.

And, here's the website for the topical steroid addiction network:

Poor kid may take over a year to heal from this, but the cure: time.
These are pictures 8 weeks into topical steroid withdrawal.

We also are doing the GAPS diet, and are on stage 4. The goal is to heal his gut so it's not leaky anymore, and he can eventually tolerate more foods. Keegan is currently eating:
- bone broth
- boiled/roasted/sauteed veggies
- ground turkey, ground beef, lamb, salmon, lox
- avocado
- sunflower seed butter made into pancakes with squash and flax seeds
- juices made from apples, cucumber, zucchini, and spinach
