I've had it for years. Then I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes. I tried changing my diet to suit the diabetes - low carbs, whole wheats, leafy greens - and my IBS flared up so badly. It was bad before I started taking my metformin/glucofage but it got increasingly worse when I changed my diet for the diabetes.
Newborns are also coated with a thick, pasty, white material called vernix caseosa (made up of the fetus' shed skin cells and skin gland secretions), most of which will be washed off during the baby's first bath.
Salmon patches will be reddish or dark pink and can usually be found on the eyelids, nose, forehead, neck, nose, or lips. If the patch shows up on the babyâs eyelids, itâs called an âAngelâs Kissâ. The beautiful baby in the picture is my grand daughter Charlotte, who was born with an angel kiss on her left eye.This picture was taken when she was 6 weeks old, and the kiss was completely gone by the time she was 6 months old. Hereâs a photo of Charlie a few minutes after her birth.Notice the angelâs kiss on one eye, and the vernix that is keeping the other one closed.As a doting grandmother, even I have to admit that this is not the most flattering picture of her in my collection. If the salmon patch shows up on the back of the babyâs head or neck, itâs called a âStork Biteâ .ost will disappear by the time the baby is a year old, but they may continue to turn red when your baby cries or gets overheated. âStork Bitesâ on the back of the neck are less likely to fade completely than âAngel Kissesâ, but usually the hair covers them up so they arenât very noticeable.
