My Psoriasis Is Gone!

about 6 weeks gluten free now

I'm so amazed at the changes that have happened and keep happening!

I've had pretty significant psoriasis that covers the right side of my scalp and right ear for years and years without any remission. no treatment ever did much for me.

Within a couple weeks of going gluten-free the itching really eased up, and if it stopped there I would have been happy

but....

the plaques have been shrinking for weeks...steadily

and as of today it's safe to say that I have NO active psoriasis! WOOOOOOT!

This is unbelievable.

so add it to my 'cured' list:

headaches

RLS

chronic GI problems & pain

acne/dry skin

low body temp

anxiety & OCD symptoms (not cured but much better)

fatigue & oversleep

PSORIASIS

if the gluten-free lifestyle was a pill everyone would want to be on it!

it's been full of ups and downs so far but mostly undeniably UP

my exercise routine that used to kill me due to fatigue is now ridiculously easy....I feel 20 years old again!

Great news. It can be really surprising how many things gluten effect in us till we stop consuming it. I laughed at the doctor that diagnosed me when he told me not to be surprised if many of my problems other than just tummy went away. After all so many doctors had told me to just learn to live with everything. I was still laughing at 6 months gluten free but it was born of joy. I hope you continue to improve and thanks for posting the news. I wonder if you are a DQ9 like me, that celiac gene is associated with psoriasis and rheumatoid arthritis in the US rather than celiac.

Oh Henny, you lucky thing. I am so happy for you (and so envious). Mine rages on regardless and I still walk around scattering silver shards (especially on the bridge table, it seems). :lol: After a year gluten-free I think it is probably here to stay. :(

oh dear, that's too bad.

I do expect it will come and go with me, but I finally have enough of my health back that it is beaten back for the first time.

hopefully you'll get some relief when you least expect it ;)

      Canker sores

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Canker sores can definitely be frustrating, especially when you're already managing a strict gluten-free lifestyle and have been diagnosed with celiac disease for so long. While these painful mouth ulcers aren’t exclusive to celiac disease, they can be linked to nutritional deficiencies—particularly of iron, folate, or vitamin B12 (as @trents mentioned )—which are common in people with celiac, even those who are very careful with their diet. Ongoing fatigue and aches might also suggest that your body isn’t fully absorbing nutrients or that there’s some underlying inflammation. It could be helpful to get bloodwork done to check for these deficiencies, and possibly even a full nutritional panel. Sometimes, new sensitivities or hidden sources of gluten or additives like sodium lauryl sulfate (common in toothpaste) can trigger symptoms like canker sores too. Since your reactions are so severe and you're highly vigilant, it might also be worth considering whether any other autoimmune conditions could be involved, as they can develop over time and overlap with celiac. Consulting with your doctor or a celiac-informed dietitian may help pinpoint the cause and bring relief.

      Ocd making gluten fears unmanageable. Need advice

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Dora77, You shouldn't worry about getting glutened through your skin.  You would have to touch a gluten infested doorknob and then put your hand in your mouth.   I'd be more concerned with your mom's heating up gluten bread in the oven and boiling gluten noodles.  These methods cause particles of gluten to become airborne which would then enter your nose and be swallowed, going into your digestive tract.  I have to avoid the bakery aisle at the grocery store for this reason.  An M95 mask helps. If you get nutritional deficiencies corrected, your immune system will calm down and be less reactive to gluten expose.  Vitamin D helps regulate the immune system.  Thiamine and Niacin help make digestive enzymes which would help digest any accidental gluten exposure.  Thiamine helps Mast cells not to release histamine, an inflammatory agent released as part of the reaction to gluten, and also a neurotransmitter that causes alertness and anxiety, and the flight or fight response.  Pyridoxine will help improve the OCD.  Remember your brain is part of the body.  Vitamin deficiencies affect your brain and mental health as well as the rest of your body.

      I do not have evidence other than anecdotal but I am certain when I have gotten these it's the result of eating gluten (back when I did).  I don't get them now that I don't eat gluten.

      What really bothers me is if worrying about getting cc‘d from touching the same door knob as others touched is valid. Seems like an extremely unlikely way to get glutened but i read people saying that.    If thats true then theres realistically zero chance i dont get cc‘d in a non gluten-free household unless i Cook Everything myself and wash my hands multiple times in between and store all of my stuff separately

      Welcome to the forum, @Mrs. Cedrone! Among the various causes for canker sores, are "Nutritional problems like too little vitamin B12, zinc, folic acid, or iron" https://www.webmd.com/oral-health/canker-sores Could you be deficient on something?
