Counting On: Jessa Duggar Opens Up About Eddie’s Health Condition

Jessa recently uploaded a 38-minute vlog, which includes her birthday celebration and a health update about her baby boy, Eddie. According to the Counting On alum, her son has been struggling with rashes. She explains that it looks like cradle cap, but it’s not because it’s itchy.

Due to this, Jessa decided to avoid dairy. She assumes Eddie may have a condition that her other kids also had when they were still babies, specifically eczema. Her kids quickly healed when she stopped consuming dairy products. Jessa then admits it’s “not fun” to be off dairy, and it got more “depressing” for her because she’s celebrating her birthday. She loves ice cream so much, and she’s sad that she won’t have it on her special day. Jessa also revealed she had quit coffee and is now looking into dairy-free desserts.

She continued, “I guess this is what happens when you are truly old.” Many fans showed support for Jessa in the comments section, cheering her up on her birthday.
