My Psoriasis Is Gone!

about 6 weeks gluten free now

I'm so amazed at the changes that have happened and keep happening!

I've had pretty significant psoriasis that covers the right side of my scalp and right ear for years and years without any remission. no treatment ever did much for me.

Within a couple weeks of going gluten-free the itching really eased up, and if it stopped there I would have been happy

but....

the plaques have been shrinking for weeks...steadily

and as of today it's safe to say that I have NO active psoriasis! WOOOOOOT!

This is unbelievable.

so add it to my 'cured' list:

headaches

RLS

chronic GI problems & pain

acne/dry skin

low body temp

anxiety & OCD symptoms (not cured but much better)

fatigue & oversleep

PSORIASIS

if the gluten-free lifestyle was a pill everyone would want to be on it!

it's been full of ups and downs so far but mostly undeniably UP

my exercise routine that used to kill me due to fatigue is now ridiculously easy....I feel 20 years old again!

Great news. It can be really surprising how many things gluten effect in us till we stop consuming it. I laughed at the doctor that diagnosed me when he told me not to be surprised if many of my problems other than just tummy went away. After all so many doctors had told me to just learn to live with everything. I was still laughing at 6 months gluten free but it was born of joy. I hope you continue to improve and thanks for posting the news. I wonder if you are a DQ9 like me, that celiac gene is associated with psoriasis and rheumatoid arthritis in the US rather than celiac.

Oh Henny, you lucky thing. I am so happy for you (and so envious). Mine rages on regardless and I still walk around scattering silver shards (especially on the bridge table, it seems). :lol: After a year gluten-free I think it is probably here to stay. :(

oh dear, that's too bad.

I do expect it will come and go with me, but I finally have enough of my health back that it is beaten back for the first time.

hopefully you'll get some relief when you least expect it ;)

      Jason, I have a bone to pick with your terminology. There is "gluten intolerance" which I believe is synonymous with celiac disease and then there is "gluten sensitivity" which comes from Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or NCGS for short. It is true, however, that there is still a lot of inconsistency in the use of these terms.

      I can’t say this will work for everyone but for me the difference is incredible so might be worth trying. I’ve never been diagnosed celiac but via an elimination diet I realised I can’t eat any lectins, gluten soy and oats are particularly problematic. If I eat them I’m in bed for a week, then heavy bleeding and extreme pain for another, followed by a third week of bleeding on and off. My skin was a mess and it snowed when I brushed my hair. Since taking reishi and cordyceps mushroom tincture I can’t believe the difference, I’ve had a lot of help from this site so I want to return the favour. I took the tincture for my guts but the most apparent effect is that I feel like my brain works again, I can’t begin to describe how wonderful it is to be able to achieve basic things, I’ve barely been able to organise getting out of bed for so long, it feels like I haven’t been hit over the head with a mallet for the first time in years. Then I glutened myself, not necessarily gluten as so many things wipe me out but definitely ate something I shouldn’t have, I took a treble dose of the tincture and almost immediately felt much better so continued with the increased dose and three days (not weeks) later was back to feeling great, no bleeding involved. My skin is better than I can remember it ever being, I feel great 😊. I spend £1.50 a day on these but it’s worth every penny, I hope this helps someone else out there reading this. I wish I’d known about them 20 years ago. best wishes everyone 🍄

      Given your history of a high TTG (167) that decreased to 16 on a gluten-free diet, along with genetic confirmation of celiac disease, it’s likely the negative biopsy is a false negative due to not eating gluten before the endoscopy. Gluten is necessary to trigger the intestinal damage seen in celiac disease, and avoiding it can lead to healing and a normal biopsy despite ongoing immune activity (reflected in your still-elevated TTG). The inflammation observed during the endoscopy (“diffuse moderately erythematous mucosa”) could be residual damage, mild ongoing inflammation, or another condition like peptic duodenitis, but it’s consistent with celiac disease in context. Continued positive blood markers suggest ongoing gluten exposure, possibly from cross-contamination or hidden sources. Strict adherence to a gluten-free diet and follow-up testing are key to managing symptoms and reducing inflammation. Discuss these findings with your doctor to confirm the diagnosis and refine your dietary approach. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      Yes, it sounds like great progress, but what was the time frame between the two endoscopies?
