I Dont Know Where To Go

I am new to all of this. And I dont know where to go. I'll give a brief history and maybe someone can tell me where to go. In Dec of 2005 I developed palmoplantar pustular psoriasis. I have never had a skin problem before. Nor do I have a family history of skin problems. My Mom thinks she may have a form of celiac disease and after going gltuen free had some resolution of symptoms. Mostly arthritic complaints. She only did it for like 2 months. Probably not long enough to see effects. Anyway, I have no idea what celiac disease or gluten is. In sept of 2006 I started eating a vegan diet, and saw improvement with ppp. In Nov I became pregnant and my ppp is also better. I am due in about 4 weeks and am afraid of reacurring sysmptoms. Anyway. I have looked into diet and psoriasis before with no luck, until now. Now I am finding out all kinds of things I couldnt find before. Even my derm dr told me there was no connection. I also go on a ppp thread and all of those ppl say diet has nothing to do with it. So here I am. If anyone can help, please tell me.

Welcome!

Celiac disease is an allergy to gluten. If you have this, then the gluten you ingest damages the villi in your small intestin, and you are less able to absorb nutrients from your food. This can cause a whole host of other problems in your body (including rashes).

Gluten comes from wheat, rye and barley (and possibly oats). If you have Celiac, then you need to avoid all foods and personal products that contain these items. This website is a great place to get information. These people probably know more about this condition than most doctors.

Read as much as you can, find a doctor to give you the required blood tests, and then if you are positive you will need to change to a gluten-free life.

Good luck, and feel free to post with any questions you have.

SierraBear - your post is old, but if you still check this post, you might read up on this possible connection between your type of psoriasis and gluten sensitivity:

      Do discuss this recent article with your doctors.  Thiamine Vitamin B 1 is important to intestinal health.  Thiamine deficiency can occur in Celiac Disease due to malabsorption.  Supplementing with a B Complex, Benfotiamine, and Vitamin D can help symptoms.   Thiamine deficiency aggravates experimental colitis in mice by promoting glycolytic reprogramming in macrophages https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39890689/#:~:text=Our mechanistic study revealed that,necessary to protect against colitis. "Conclusion and implications: Our study provides evidence linking thiamine deficiency with proinflammatory macrophage activation and colitis aggravation, suggesting that monitoring thiamine status and adjusting thiamine intake is necessary to protect against colitis."

Deficiency symptoms of B vitamins resemble gastrointestinal symptoms when after eating gluten.  Gastrointestinal Beriberi is a form of Thiamine deficiency.   Do talk to your doctors about supplementing with essential nutrients while on the gluten free diet, especially if you're consuming processed foods.

      Hi, @Rebeccaj, Those Villa that get damaged by eating gluten are the same villi that absorb nutrients from our food.  Damaged villa can't absorb nutrients, vitamins and minerals well.  If we don't get sufficient nutrients, our body can't function properly.  We can get brain fog, pins and needles or neuropathy, feeling off balance, and even worsening digestive symptoms. Talk to your doctor or dietician about taking vitamin and mineral supplements while healing.  The gluten free diet can be low in nutrients, especially if you eat gluten free facsimile processed foods.  Gluten containing breads have vitamins added to them to replace those lost in processing.  Gluten free facsimile foods usually are not enriched nor fortified with vitamins.   Taking a B Complex, Benfotiamine, Vitamin D, and magnesium help the digestive tract heal, lowers histamine, and regulates the immune system.
