I have just started a gluten free diet due to GI issues, but I also have psoriasis. I was just curious if anyone else has psoriasis and had it improve on a gluten free diet. Thanks for your input :)

really mushroom???? interesting.

okay- my experience: 10 years ago- when i went 98% wheat free (atkins diet/didnt know anything about gluten)-> my psoraisis, excema, dandruff, and another itchy condition i will not explain completely went away- completely.

kept cheating- dandruff came back, and a strange skin issue on my armpits, and later my eyelids- very strange.

last july went 100% gluten-free.everything went away, but 1st DH came for about 4 months.

THENNNNN come winter- i get the excema on my knuckles ???? why i thought- im off gluten.. but this girl i follow on twitter ( @allergicgirl )- she said that can be from dairy.

sorry- long :/

Most of my problems are skin (but no DH, thank goodness!) Melanomas, skin cancers, psoriasis (actually psoriatic arthritis - the psoriasis only manifested after dx of sero-negative RA). So by the time that arrived I had been through all the RA meds and did not tolerate/became intolerant of them all, some really bad side effects and then especially the Plaquenil which flared up my psoriasis horribly - It just flat out itched for three years, had terrible itching callouses on my palms and heels, psoriasis in places you don't want to know about :ph34r: ) although it handled my arthritis for a couple of years until it just stopped working; so finally I got prescribed Humira by my US rheumy. Wonderful stuff. Been on it three years. Arthritis gone (fingers and toes still sausage-like but joints okay), psoriasis gone, then they messed up my Rx on my last visit, and I ended up down here two months short. Since I started Humira and gluten free at about the same time I thought, "Good time to do a medication-free challenge" Gaaahhhh. Psorirasis came roaring back and I still haven't sent it packing 4-5 months later although it is on the run a bit. Started getting electric shock type pain in fingers and toes - end of challenge!!! But in all of this my scalp is still not right. I got all the psoriasis out of there but seborrheic dermatitis still there in full force. I can't bear the thought that it could be dairy because then I would have zero fun eating :(

I have some strange itchy skin conditions - itchy skin patches sometimes turn white-ish and look like eczema, and I get a chicken-skin like rash. I only get these when accidently glutened (Even trace amounts). IT's much better when I'm on the straight and narrow with safe, whole foods :)

Holding thumbs it helps for your psoriasis

I have had psoriasis on my scalp for along time and I've been gluten-free for about six months now. I haven't seen a change at all. I do know others in our same boat who changed their beauty products and saw major improvement. Anything and everything they put on their face, head, or skin is double checked for ingredients as some products do contain gluten. Just a thought

My psoriasis responds to corn, not gluten.

I also have psoriasis and psoratic arthritis. My arthritis is gone since going gluten-free, I am off all medications. But I still have occational bouts of the psoriasis on my scalp, it has never been terrible, but it hasn't really changed with the gluten-free diet. Everyone, however, responds differently. I have had corn allergies in the past. I seem to tolerate it okay at this point. It is possible that it would improve with eliminating corn, but I don't have much motivation to elimiate that, too! :rolleyes:

My psoriasis cleared when I went off corn and nuts.

      Endoscopy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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.):

      Biopsy results after 1,5 gfd

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

      Help with results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your symptoms—headaches, dizziness, nausea, irregular bowel movements, anemia, and menstrual changes—along with a family history of celiac disease, strongly suggest celiac disease could be the cause. The mild duodenal changes seen in your biopsy are consistent with early or mild celiac disease, though they could also be due to other factors. The improvement in bowel movements after cutting out gluten is a positive sign, but other symptoms like headaches and dizziness may take longer to resolve as your body heals. It’s important to continue a strict gluten-free diet and discuss further testing, such as celiac antibody blood tests or a follow-up biopsy, with your doctor to confirm the diagnosis. Many people experience a gradual improvement in symptoms over weeks to months, so patience and strict adherence to the diet are key. You’re not alone in this process, and support from celiac communities can be very helpful.

      For people with celiac disease and corn intolerance from it: Is salt still okay for most people?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      For people with celiac disease and corn intolerance, most salts, including table salt with dextrose, are generally safe in small amounts, as the dextrose is typically highly processed and unlikely to contain problematic corn proteins. However, if you’re highly sensitive, you might consider switching to pure kosher or Himalayan salt, which don’t contain additives. While bringing your own salt to restaurants or avoiding seasoned foods can feel overwhelming, it’s a practical step if you’re concerned. Many people with corn intolerance tolerate trace amounts of dextrose in salt without issues, but individual sensitivity varies. If your current salt isn’t causing symptoms, it’s likely fine to continue using it, especially given your financial constraints and the challenges of managing dietary restrictions. Focus on what works for you and prioritize avoiding larger sources of corn, like cornstarch.

      Stomach pains etc 2 weeks after start of gluten-free diet

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your daughter’s ongoing stomach pains two weeks into a gluten-free diet could be due to her body still healing after months of gluten exposure, as recovery from celiac disease can take time. Her inconsistent eating habits and possible eating disorder behaviors may also delay healing. While she’s now eating gluten-free snacks, her limited intake and emotional withdrawal complicate the process. It’s positive that she’s trying, but recovery may take weeks to months. Addressing her depression and mental health is crucial, as celiac disease can impact mood, and proper nutrition may help. Patience and support are key, but if symptoms persist, consult her doctor to rule out accidental gluten exposure or other issues. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.
