My Psoriasis Is Gone!

[henny]

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). 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
