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!

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      I had no idea there is a "Louisville" in Colorado!😉 I thought it was a typo because I always think of the Kentucky city--but good luck!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Navigating medication safety with Celiac disease can be incredibly stressful, especially when dealing with asthma and severe allergies on top of it. While I don't have personal experience with the HealthA2Z brand of cetirizine, your caution is absolutely warranted. The inactive ingredients in pills, known as excipients, are often where gluten can be hidden, and since the FDA does not require gluten-free labeling for prescription or over-the-counter drugs, the manufacturer's word is essential. The fact that you cannot get a clear answer from Allegiant Health is a significant red flag; a company that is confident its product is gluten-free will typically have a customer service protocol to answer that exact question. In situations like this, the safest course of action is to consider this product "guilty until proven innocent" and avoid it. A better alternative would be to ask your pharmacist or doctor to help you identify a major national brand of cetirizine (like Zyrtec) whose manufacturer has a verified, publicly stated gluten-free policy for that specific medication. It's not worth the risk to your health when reliable, verifiable options are almost certainly available to you. You can search this site for USA prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      Protein or fat?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you're describing is indeed familiar to many in the Celiac community, especially in the early stages of healing. When the intestinal villi are damaged from Celiac disease, they struggle to properly digest and absorb fats, a condition known as bile acid malabsorption. This can cause exactly the kind of cramping and spasms you're seeing, as undigested fats can irritate the sensitive gut lining. It is highly plausible that her reactions to dairy and eggs are linked to their higher fat content rather than the proteins, especially since she tolerates lean chicken breast. The great news is that for many, this does improve with time. As her gut continues to heal on a strict gluten-free diet, her ability to produce the necessary enzymes and bile to break down fats should gradually return, allowing her to slowly tolerate a wider variety of foods. It's a slow process of healing, but your careful approach of focusing on low-fat, nutrient-dense foods like seeds and avocado is providing her system the best possible environment to recover. 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. This article may be helpful: Thank you for sharing your story—it's a valuable insight for other parents navigating similar challenges.

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.
