I have psoriasis since I was 14. Then I developed psoriatic psoriasis 3 years ago. I have now discovered at the age of 35 I am a coeliac. Could I have been a coeliac since birth? Could it have caused the psoriasis? The psoriasis has not cleared up but my psoriatic arthritis is much improved. Would love to hear from someone with similar problems. I have recently cut out dairy products and I feel better but it has had very little impact on the psoriasis.

I have psoriasis that started at about age 19. At age 32 I developed psoriatic arthritis. I went on a strict gluten, dairy, egg, soy, bean, nightshade, and red meat free diet and after a year the arthritis and psoriasis went completely away. As long as I am gluten, soy and mostly dairy free (I can do small amounts of sheep milk or goat cheese) I have no problems with arthritis. I teach PE, coach basketball and lead a very active life. Unfortunately, I can't get rid of the psoriasis - it came back after I added in more foods. I control it with Dovonex, but it isn't gone.

I also follow a gfcfsf diet. And I suspect corn is also an issue. However, I am also noticing a correlation between hormone levels and my psoriasis...and not exactly sure how to address it just yet.

That being said, I have recently begun taking a supplement called Serralone. It is a protoelytic enzyme. Originally, I began taking it because of a cough that I haven't been able to shake. In 3 days (taking 2 capsules per day), I had an 45 minute date with a box of tissues where all that mucous finally thinned enough to be expelled completely. And stranger still, my psoriasis started getting better on the first day on it, despite that monthly fluctuation of hormones. I went off the Serralone for 2 days and the psoriasis is coming back. So now, I am back on and hopefully, my new bottle will be in by Tuesday because I am staying on it! My sister has horrendous psoriasis and hers is also clearing up on the Serralone. (She was taking it for severe inflammation in the knee due to bursitis...and it has worked beautifully). Serralone eats up fibrin in the system and acts as an anti-inflammatory and natural pain-killer.

I am really impressed with this supplement but don't quite know what to make of the results as it seems to be working on a broad range of things and I am surprised at its efficacy. I have recently sent out an inquiry as to what the vegetable capsule in Serralone is made from (the rest is excipient-free). I had read somewhere that it was gluten and lactose-free, but I wrote in to the company to find out for sure. It really is an amazing product.

Thank you so much for all that information. I looked up Serralone on the internet. Do you take any particular brand as there seems to be lots on the market? If you could let me know I will try it out asap. I would try anything to get the psoriasis cleared up- even for a while.

I use Serralone specifically as it's the strongest serrratiopeptadase enzyme on the market in the U.S.. It was recommended to me by a friend who works in supplement development and research. I believe that you're looking at 400 mg of supplement per day (at a minimum dosage) as opposed to 5 and 10 mg with other brands.

I posted on this forum about the use of this enzyme in relation to psoriasis and there have been several good responses. You may want to check it out.

That being said, I am really surprised at how it is working. I'm supposed to get my order tomorrow and so I've been on 1 capsule per day (you're supposed to take 3 daily). The difference in the itching has really been a welcome relief. I figure that the time I save in scratching could be better put to use in then figuring out what underlying issues I must have that are causing this.

Psoriasis is MISERABLE.

I think there is most definately a link.....my 8 year old has had psoriasis for 5 years. We have Celiac in the family, but he tested negative. I put him on the diet anyway, and although it hasn't cleared up, it is under control with steroid cream and Dovonex (expensive stuff!!). He does react to gluten now, but he reacts differently than my daughter. She gets the classic GI symptoms, whereas he gets more neuro symptoms. It's really interesting to me how the same intolerance can present in so many different ways. My son is the first to have Psoriasis, but there are a whole host of other auto immune disorders on my side of the family....we have colitis, Lupus, RA, autism, etc. Of course, NO ONE will get tested for Celiac, lol. But that's another topic!

      is my cleiac disease gone?

      is my cleiac disease gone?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @numike! We sometimes get reports like yours from community members who believe their celiac disease has "gone away." We think there can sometimes be cases of remission but not long term healing and that continued consumption of gluten will eventually result in a relapse. This is the state of our knowledge at this point but there is still a lot we don't know and celiac disease continues to surprise us with new findings on a frequent basis. So, we would not advise you to abandon a strict gluten-free diet. Perhaps you can draw consolation from the fact that at the present time you seem to be able to consume gluten without consequences when in situations where you do not have the option to eat gluten-free. But I would advise you to not generalize your recent experience such that you throw caution to the wind. But I want to go back to what you said about being diagnosed by blood test in the early 2000's. Did you not also have that confirmed with an endoscopy and biopsy of the small bowel lining? Normally, a celiac disease diagnosis is not concluded based on a blood test alone because there can be false positives. What kind of doctor did this testing? Was it done in the U.S. or overseas? In the last few years, it has become common in the U.K. to grant a celiac diagnosis from blood testing alone if the antibody test scores are 10x normal or greater. But that practice has not caught on in the U.S. yet and was not in place internationally in the early 2000's. Do you have a record of the tests that were done, the scores and also the reference ranges for negative vs. positive for the tests?

      is my cleiac disease gone?

      By numike · Posted

      Check out this celiac story  I was diagnosed early 2000s with the blood test  since then I have for the most part maintained a gluten-free diet  Recently (August 2025) I drove from Southern Illinois to Lake Erie Ohio On the drive back I was extremely hungry and I had a coupon at a hamburger chain and I stopped and forgot to request gluten-free bun etc and quickly consumed two hamburgers. I promptly ate both of them and had absolutely no problem since then I've been eating plenty of gluten  Is my celiac gone?  Insert: No, celiac disease cannot just end because there is no cure for it; however, a strict, lifelong gluten-free diet allows the small intestine to heal and symptoms to go away. To manage the condition effectively, you must strictly avoid all sources of gluten, including wheat, barley, and rye, which are common in the American diet. Sticking to the diet can lead to significant symptom improvement and intestinal healing, but it requires ongoing commitment and monitoring with a healthcare professional  Regarding medical test I had My stools analyzed Giardia Ag Cryptosporidium Ag and they came back negative  I had the lactulose test and it came back high so I'm on two weeks of heavy antibiotics That still has not stopped me from eating gluten. Here's what I think is going on and I hope to have your opinion regarding it  Since I've been gluten-free for so long my intestinal tract has repaired itself consequently anything I eat with gluten now just bounces right off with no damage to my gut  however  when I asked AI what was going on the reply was celiac has not gone away and  if I continue to eat gluten I'm going to have problems   I look forward to your sage advice as to what the heck is going on with me Thank you for reading Mike 09112025

      I agree, and generally it means that it isn't working in a high enough percentage of participants to continue pursuing it.

      It is more likely code for “we think there really was a good response to the treatment, but it was small or in a small percent of subjects so it would take a large clinical trial to try to prove it.”
