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 ;)

      The discovery of the vitamin D receptor in multiple immune cell lineages, such as monocytes, dendritic cells, and activated T cells credits vitamin D with a novel role in modulating immunological functions and its subsequent role in the development or prevention of autoimmune diseases.  The Implication of Vitamin D and Autoimmunity: a Comprehensive Review

      Definitely get vitamin D 25(OH)D.  Celiac Disease causes vitamin D deficiency and one of the functions of vitamin D is modulating the genes.  While we can survive with low vitamin D as an adaptation to living in a seasonal environment, the homeostasis is 200 nmol/L.  Vitamin D Receptors are found in nearly every cell with a nucleus,while the highest concentrations are in tissues like the intestine, kidney, parathyroid, and bone.  A cellular communication system, if you will. The vitamin D receptor: contemporary genomic approaches reveal new basic and translational insights  Possible Root Causes of Histamine Intolerance. "Low levels of certain nutrients like copper, Vitamins A, B6, and C can lead to histamine build up along with excess or deficient levels of iron. Iodine also plays a crucial role in histamine regulation."

      I forgot to mention my suspicion of the high amount of glyphosate allowed to be used on wheat in USA and NZ and Australia. My weight was 69kg mid-2023, I went down to 60kg in March 2024 and now hover around 63kg (just after winter here in NZ) - wheat-free and very low alcohol consumption.

      Hi Jess Thanks so much for your response and apologies for the long delay in answering. I think I must have been waiting for something to happen before I replied and unfortunately it fell off the radar... I have had an upper endoscopy and colonoscopy in the meantime (which revealed 'minor' issues only). Yes I do think histamine intolerance is one of the problems. I have been lowering my histamine intake and feeling a lot better. And I do think it is the liver which is giving the pain. I am currently taking zinc (I have had three low zinc tests now), magnesium, B complex, vitamin E and a calcium/Vitamin C mix. I consciously think about getting vitamin D outside. (Maybe I should have my vitamin D re-tested now...) I am still 100% gluten-free. My current thoughts on the cause of the problems is some, if not all, of the following: Genetically low zinc uptake, lack of vitamin D, wine drinking (alcohol/sulphites), covid, immune depletion, gastroparesis, dysbiosis, leaky gut, inability to process certain foods I am so much better than late 2023 so feel very positive 🙂

      4.5 years into diagnosis, eating gluten-free and still struggling: would love support, tips, & stories

      Hi and thank you very much for your detailed response! I am so glad that the protocol worked so well for you and helped you to get your health back on track. I've heard of it helping other people too. One question I have is how did you maintain your weight on this diet? I really rely on nuts and rice to keep me at a steady weight because I tend to lose weight quickly and am having a hard time envisioning how to make it work, especially when not being able to eat things like nuts and avocados. In case you have any input, woud be great to hear it! Friendly greetings.
