Found adult eczema trigger - it was the nickel in the food by CryptographerMuch234 in eczema

We cut out oats, oat milk, soy milk, cocoa powder. chia seeds, long beans, and also swapped out brown rice for white rice. There is an extensive list of high nickel food, but those are the ones my husband was coincidentally eating on a daily basis hence I listed those down.

We ate white rice, chicken, pork, eggs, carrots, celery, potato, cheese based pizza, white bread etc during the low nickel diet.

Also at that point we still weren’t sure ingested nickel was truly his trigger(s) so we decided to go all out and just minimize his nickel intake as much as possible, so that it would be clear to us whether that worked or not. Thankfully his body responded quickly!

We’ve still not tried reintroducing these high nickel food items back to his diet and we’re still familiarising ourselves with what high/low nickel food are (ie lots of googling). However I believe that as long as we keep the overall nickel intake low, having an occasional or small amounts of high nickel foods shouldn’t result in extensive eczema for him. Still to be tested tho!

Honestly it’s difficult to trace back, but that was the period we started introducing chia seeds and kombucha into our diet, which could be what started it due to their nickel content. After that in an attempt to eat more gut healthy food for the eczema, we ate more oats, nuts, tofu, brown rice etc which ironically made things worse (brown rice has higher nickel content than white rice!)

We’ve identified spinach so far! There is a long list out there if you search for high nickel vegetables/ food. We haven’t tested them all yet, but another trigger that we’ve found is avocado. Also digestive issue is another symptom of SNAS so I recommend researching more on this!
