I am 45 years old and have asthma (hereditary) for last 30-35 years. Also suffering from eczema for last 10 years. I tried various photos for eczema but no success. Two years before when I gave up consumption of milk there was some improvement in eczema to some extent, can say up 25-30%. And 1 year before I switched over from wheat to sorghum (jowar) and after 2-3 months my problem of eczema alleviated up to 50%. But I could hardly succeed to control my asthma. On the contrary it was worsening day by day. No exercise or yoga was helping me in my asthma problem. It was not fully satisfactory result for me. But some 2 months before when gave up rice also and switched over to totally gluten free diet i.e. Only millet consumption i.e. Kodo millet, foxtail millet, little millet, sorghum, my problem of eczema started to alleviate rapidly. Now after 2 months I am nearly 98 percent eczema free. But in this 2 months period also I could hardly control over my chronic asthma problem. On the contrary it aggravated. Mucus in chest made very difficult for me to breathe. Steroids, antihistamine prescribed by doctor was giving me only temporary relief. It was very despairing situation for me. But 5 days before I started to consume pearl millet (bajra) in place of sorghum (jowar) which is good for asthma. Now I have get some relief from my asthma problem. I am writing to you because whatever diet I am taking is not prescribed by any doctor or any dietician. It is totally a research by layman. I would be very grateful for any guidance in my diet taking into consideration my problems of asthma and eczema.
