Psoriasis

Hi I've been diagnosed as a celiac for about 5 years. Before that, and since, I have suffered from extensive psoriasis - mainly on torso and upper arms. Also itchy/rash in anal area. Is this common in relationship to gluten intolerance?

Yes, psoriasis is one of the autoimmune diseases commonly associated with celiac/gluten intolerance. In some of us it becomes psoriatic arthritis, a combination of psoriasis and rheumatoid arthritis. My experience has been that my disease does not respond to the removal of gluten, unfortunately.

By the way, welcome to the board, fellow Kiwi celiac :)

I have nail psoriasis - which means it only shows up in my nails, I do have some type of autoimmune arthritis as well - but they aren't sure which one, psoriatic has been mentioned. But yes - there is a common connection between the two. Doh!

My psoriasis stays in check when I eat nothing but whole foods. Gluten makes it flare up, and corn makes it REALLY flare up. I suspect there are other things too. It flared up badly when I took aspirin so I thought I had trouble with salicylates, but it seems that my tolerance to salicylates is high enough that I can eat broccoli. (Aspirin has about 100 times more sals than broccoli.) I also seem to have trouble with foods that are high in nickel. I get contact dermatitis from nickel in jewelry, and I think the nickel in food bothers me too. I still haven't figured it all out yet, but I'm getting there.

Since I have removed gluten and dairy from my diet my psoriasis has cleared up 98%, completely going away when I take vitamin c to saturation. So I think it is possible to get rid of it , green juices help too.

Yes, I know it is possible for some to get rid of it; mine has been helped a lot. I will give green juices a try :)

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it.

      Negative, although I had most of the symptoms of celiac disease. I now eat as if I had a diagnosis.

      While it's always important to approach internal use of essential oils with caution and ideally under the guidance of a qualified professional, your experience highlights the potential of complementary approaches when traditional medicine falls short. Many in the community are also interested in the intersection of natural wellness and gluten-free living, particularly for managing systemic inflammation and its various symptoms, so sharing your story is valuable. Your observation that it may also be helping with bloating is fascinating, as that could point to an overall reduction in inflammation. Thank you for sharing what is working for you!
