Forgot to add that I not celiac. Health forums suggest that a gluten free diet helps but I have not seen this. Perhaps someone inthe group had psoriasis?

I am not celiac either nor do I have wheat issues. It is my daughter who does. But I have psoriasis. I find that taking turmeric helps.

I am approximately three years post psoriasis diagnosis and (coincidentally) three years plus post gluten free. In those three years I have been convinced that gluten had no effect on my psoriasis. I have been self-injecting Humira to control my psoriasis and RA. Because of skin infections I have not been able to take the Humira injections for the last three months (Humira depresses the immune system which I need to fight infections) and this time when off Humira I have not had a flare of my arthritis or the psoriasis (although it has been threatening) has not broken through again). I am still hopeful that the diet will eventually suppress the symptoms of both. Time will tell. Someone mentioned on the board that almonds can cause psoriasis to flare, so I have changed my nut intake and will see if it makes a difference, because my scalp is bothering me again.

I went gluten free BECAUSE of my psoriasis. It just happened that when I went gluten free I also went corn free without thinking about it. My psoriasis healed. Then I made some gluten free cornbread. The psoriasis came right back.

I was eating Blue Diamond raw almonds as a snack for a while, then I ran out. A few weeks later I bought them again, and the psoriasis flared again.

So here I am, wondering if I actually AM gluten intolerant, or if it was the corn and nuts all along. But I am 100% convinced that food causes psoriasis. What I have done now is to limit my diet to just a few things I know don't bother me. And I have become even more strict. I won't eat ANYTHING I didn't cook myself, and I won't eat out of any CONTAINER that isn't glass or ceramic, and that I washed myself.

I will NEVER, NEVER eat or even touch my face without washing my hands first. When I visit friends, I never allow their dog or cat anywhere near my face, and of course, I wash my hands after touching them. Been shopping? Whoever touched that door handle or the shopping cart may have just touched bread, (or they may have a cold), so once again, time to wash the hands.

And I know how bad frequent hand washing is - my psoriasis is (was) on my hands, and it HURT to wash them. But do it anyway.

And keep in mind that the gluten symptoms may have been masking other intolerances. I'm betting that I will find more problem foods as time goes on. But it's all worth it in the long run. Food isn't nearly as important as feeling good.

My psoriasis started AFTER I went gluten-free.

Thanks for all the replies. I got the latest saying that psoriasis started after beginning a gluten free diet.

I also has immune problems - discoid lupus, arthritis so having P is no surprise. I will stick with

it for a few months and see.

At the health store the lady raved about Sea Buck thorn oil as being great for P. Anyone heard of it?

I am amazed at the restrictions caused further by a low oxalate diet I need to follow. I bought sprouted bread NY Ezekial which is quite good. Thanks for the support.

If your going gluten free I don't think you can use that bread. The ingredients I bolded are not safe for us.

INGREDIENTS: Organic Sprouted Whole Wheat, Filtered Water, Organic Malted Barley, Organic Sprouted Whole Millet, Organic Sprouted Whole Barley, Organic Sprouted Whole Lentils, Organic Sprouted Whole Soybeans, Organic Sprouted Whole Spelt, Fresh Yeast, Sea Salt.

The company does make some gluten free items but make sure they say gluten free on them. There have also been folks who have had cross contamination issues with the brand. You might want to something like Udi's, Kinnickinnick or another gluten free one.

I've had psoriasis all my life, (I'm 44) and I've been gluten free for nearly 2 years now (since Dec. '09). It hasn't stopped the psoriasis at all. But I'm also in the process of testing for additional auto-immune diseases, (psoriasis *is* auto-immune btw!) which could be flaring and aggravating the psoriasis further.

Stress can cause psoriasis to flare, which is annoying, because it's a never ending circle. We get stress, it flares, then we stress about the flare...

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1. There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine. In Thiamine deficiency, the body...

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better.   Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor.  PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12.  Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the production of digestive juices (stomach acids).  This results in foods not being digested thoroughly.  If foods are not digested sufficiently, the vitamins and other nutrients aren't released from the food, and the body cannot absorb them.  This sets up a vicious cycle. Acid reflux and Gerd are actually symptoms of producing too little stomach acid.  Insufficient stomach acid production is seen with Thiamine and Niacin deficiencies.  PPI's like Tecta also block the transporters that pull Thiamine into cells, preventing absorption of thiamine.  Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are difficulty swallowing, gagging, problems with food texture, dysphagia. Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are symptoms of ADHD and anxiety.  Vyvanse also blocks thiamine transporters contributing further to Thiamine deficiency.  Pristiq has been shown to work better if thiamine is supplemented at the same time because thiamine is needed to make serotonin.  Doctors don't recognize anxiety and depression and adult onset ADHD as early symptoms of Thiamine deficiency. Stomach acid is needed to digest Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in fruits and vegetables.  Ascorbic acid left undigested can cause intestinal upsets, anxiety, and heart palpitations.   Yes, a child can be born with nutritional deficiencies if the parents were deficient.  Parents who are thiamine deficient have offspring with fewer thiamine transporters on cell surfaces, making thiamine deficiency easier to develop in the children.  A person can struggle along for years with subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  Been here, done this.  Please consider supplementing with Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which helps immensely with dysphagia and neurological symptoms like anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms.  Benfotiamine helps with improving intestinal health.  A B Complex and NeuroMag (a magnesium supplement), and Vitamin D are needed also.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.   There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine.   In Thiamine deficiency, the body burns its stored fat as a source of fuel.  That fat pad between the aorta and digestive system gets used as fuel, too. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test to look for thiamine deficiency.  Correction of thiamine deficiency can help restore that fat pad.   Best wishes for your recovery!   Interesting Reading: Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome in a 6-Year-Old Girl with Final Diagnosis of Celiac Disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31089433/#:~:text=Affiliations,tissue and results in SMAS.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.
