When I first got sick, I also got really bad psoriasis. Could it have anything to do with celiac?

You bet your bottom dollar it could. I've had it (along with rheumatoid arthritis) for four years now, went gluten free in Nov. 07 and psoriasis has almost gone away. Still working on the arthritis though :unsure:

Sweet. I really hope so. I ran out of Dovonex cream and I'd have to pay a lot of money to go back to the dermatologist and get a refill. I've only been gluten free for a few weeks now. I haven't really noticed a difference though, but I guess it takes a lot of time from what I've heard.

After being gluten free for a while I was able to switch to the cheaper over the counter stuff (pine tar) for occasional flare ups. I still use the pine tar soap because I like it

Two to three months for me. Just be patient. I have been on Dovonex and Halobetasol proprionate for four years now, along with other preparations for areas I would rather not discuss. It used to take me at least 10 minutes in the morning and evening to cream and ointment myself up! What a sticky mess. Yuck! Now I'm down to about 30 seconds morning and night. And not scratching nearly as much. :P

      Blood results

      By trents · Posted

      Possibly gluten withdrawal. Lot's of info on the internet about it. Somewhat controversial but apparently gluten plugs into the same neuro sensors as opiates do and some people get a similar type withdrawal as they do when quitting opiates. Another issue is that gluten-free facsimile flours are not fortified with vitamins and minerals as is wheat flour (in the U.S. at least) so when the switch is made to gluten-free facsimile foods, especially if a lot of processed gluten-free foods are being used as substitutes, vitamin and mineral deficiencies can result. There is also the possibility that she has picked up a virus or some but that is totally unrelated to going gluten-free.

      Blood results

      Daughter has started gluten free diet this week as per gastroenterologists suggestion. However says she feels more tired and like she’s been hit by a train. I suggested it could be the change to gluten free or just stress from the endoscopy last week catching up with her. Just wondering if feeling more tired is a normal reaction at this stage. I suppose it’s possible some gluten might have been present without realising. Have tried to reassure her it’s not going to resolve symptoms overnight

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.
