Thanks Cinnamon. That's interesting that tyrosine helped him (even if it was for short periods). I am certainly hopeful that this helps my guy. He's on the 2nd day of treatment...and treatment includes several types of amino acids in varying doses throughout the day. We'll see. He says that he can feel that something is happening. He had some GI upset...

Hi all! It's been a long time since I've posted. For those of you who don't know me, I'm often here inquiring about things for my husband. Anywho, he's been on a strict gluten free diet for over a year now for several reasons, but the main one being psoriatic arthritis. He has gone off of his methotrexate (about 4 mos ago) and has been feeling relatively...

Just wanted to chime in that we have gone to Sanibel many times. My husband's family has for 25+ years...my husband's brother is a nature photographer & loves to take shots of birds. There are great sanctuaries - Ding Darling comes to mind. You have egrets, ospreys & I even saw an eagle once there. Lots of birds & wildlife in general. sorry...

thanks for the reply. And, yes, I agree...everyone should do their own research. I constantly do! But, I am so appreciative of all you who do as well & share your findings...whether they be articles or personal experiences. Now I get it. My husband did "front load" at the very beginning. He took injections daily for a long period of time. Then...

Hi Shay, I am very interested in B12 as my husband was diagnosed with a B12 deficiency about 10 years ago & has been doing injections of cyanocobolamin every 2 weeks or so ever since. He can tell when he needs it...it took about a year of his horrible headaches & dizziness to recede. About 4 years ago he developed psoriatic arthritis & we...

thanks!

Hi, I wrote a posting earlier today in the Doctors section....and it's not showing up... did i do something wrong? Thnks~

Hi all! It's been a long time since I've posted here. My husband & I have been gluten free for about 11 months now. He began because of psoriatic arthritis, psoriasis & a smattering of other health issues. He is still on methotrexate (which he hates!)...but the beneficial effects of that med plateaued right before we went gluten-free. Plus, he...

Just wanted to chime in here that if you search for keratosis pilaris in this forum you will find some people talking about how theirs has cleared up quite a bit, if not totally, by being gluten-free. I remember reading those entries because my niece has keratosis pilaris & i tried to convince her that her love of bread & bagels (esp. wheat bagels...

Hi all... I was wondering if anybody could suggest a good naturopath in Chicago. My husband has numerous health issues (migraines to psoriatic arthritis) and has been on the gluten free diet for 6 months now. He has seen some progress & has begun to feel better, but still has issues. After much research, I am really beginning to think that his problems...

hi mushroom, thanks for sharing your experience. i think that my husband is feeling more & more encouraged that he can control what's going on with him. we've been on the gluten free diet for 4 & 1/2 months now. i am doing it for gut related reasons & he for all of his life long health ailments. it's been up & down for him. he's discovered...

Hi GFGuy. First off, hang in there. This whole thing will get easier with time. Search around on this site for information....there's a lot of really good advice. Seems like people have given you advice about food already. Just stay basic for now, stick with simple easy foods. my husband has been eating plain burger patties & baked potatoes &...

wow, thanks for thinking of me!! we found the article online & downloaded it. my husband is actually a science-y kind of guy & he read the article. maybe i'm one step closer to convincing him! his dad is a doctor (cardiologist) & has told my husband that if someone has systemic fungal growth they'd be dead. so, he's slow to come around to...

psipsina - thanks for digging up this thread that i started & posting your experience! i'm always looking for people who have psoriatic arthritis like my husband. that's so interesting that you found that you had a systemic candida problem....i've been suspecting that with my husband for a while. he's been gluten free for 4 1/2 months now & has...

I agree with those saying D3 is the way to go. My husband & I went through this whole vitamin D issue about a year ago & found that no doctors that we dealt with could give us a definitive answer about which type of vitamin d works best....his doctor prescribed him a vitamin d pill of 50,000 iu for a few weeks, but it was D2...not D3. So...after...
