i have been dealing with this for 4 years and sounds like environmental because if steroids and atopica stop the itching then not food as they only work for environmental -- join our allergy group as you will learn a ton -- go to yahoogroups.com and search allerdog and join as allergies can only be managed not usually cured
you need to do weekly baths with hypoallergenic shampoo to keep allergents down and tshirts help alot -- the best allergy testing is VARL - my private email is
dwert35@aol.com if you want more info but 10% of time it is food allergy and 90% environmental which is the worst and most frustrating but the food you are on is good so stick with it but your situation is more environmental
