Psoriasis

I never had any psoriasis problems until getting sick about 4 years ago..going on the diet never did help. I use ointments to control it, but I cant get rid of it..on my back or my head. A lady who used to cut my hair said that she remembers a lot of people who she cut hair for that had Celiac also had psoriasis.

Does anyone else have it? Or have any suggestions?

Thanks.

I have it too. I have had it on my knees and elbows since I was 2 (I'm 33 now).

There have been times it has been a little better and times it has been pretty bad (a total body break out after getting strep throat - stay away from strep it can cause a breakout!). The only thing that works for me is diplorene (prescription). I've only been on the diet a month but it does seem better now. I was hoping being gluten-free would clear it up but it sounds like yours did not. I wish I had a better answer for you, maybe try the diplorene, it helps a lot!

I have psoriasis too. It started in my scalp and now it's all over. It went away when I only ate fish, rice, some vegetables and some fruits for a whole year. It came back when I broadened my diet, even though I still avoided wheat/gluten, dairy, eggs and soy. Dairy seems to make it way worse. Getting a sunburn (mild) makes it flare-up, then disappear from my arms and legs. I have good luck with Dovonex cream (special vitamin D). I'm almost back into sleeveless tops after having a bad breakout.

I have NEVER had good results from topical creams (other than the prescription Dovonex) or any other product that claims to help.

There is research that links psoriasis to the presence of strep bacteria. Mine first appeared when I had chronic tonsillitis and strep throat infections for about a year. Stephanie is right!

Hi Lisa

JenVan has it. My dad was covered 80% of his body at one time & hospitalized for 39 days .... he's gone to eternal rest now but shortly after his passiing I suspect he was celiac. It is another autoimmune disease... After he got out of the hospital I started him on vitamin & mineral therapy. He did wonderful until he got tired of taking supplements a couple times a day. Plus I had him stop drinking alcohol & coffee. When he got bad again he wanted to start back on the supplements but he had so much going on by then it was just to late.Olive oil works fairly good to clean up the flaking.....

best to you

      I believe I've seen them at Costco still in the shells (in the frozen seafood area), which might be a safe way to go.

      A dedicated rack is a great idea if everyone in the house understands and supports the idea, and just to clarify, I didn't recommend just wiping the rack down, but washing it well in soap and hot water.

      Thanks, I appreciate you getting back to me.  Sometimes the retailers don't have content info on products they sell and they have rewrapped them with no ingredients list. Guess I'll stick to prepackaged medalions with all the info.

      I find that I sometimes have symptoms due to cross-contact with foods that *might* be contaminated in the processing. 100% gluten-free certification is something I look for in every processed food I consume.

      I would not be comfortable with just wiping down the rack after a gluten-containing food was cooked on it. When I cook pizza in the oven, my gluten-free pizza goes on the top rack - nothing else is ever placed directly on that top rack, gluten or not. Contact with minute traces of gluten cause me symptoms within a few hours. If I heat a gluten-free roll in my toaster oven, I place it on a small bit of foil so that it does not directly contact the rack that *might* have traces of gluten on it.
