When Juliet Oduor's second-born developed severe eczema, the doctor advised that monitoring the food he was eating was likely to point to what triggered the allergic reaction, which caused skin inflammation.

The family kept a food journal, avoiding the intake of wheat, dairy and eggs. They quickly identified that the panacea to the boy's allergic reaction was switching to a gluten-free diet.
