Psoriasis/psoriatic Arthritis/coeliac

[Graceanna]

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!
