Guest guest Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 The very first thing I would do is eliminate gluten. Do a Google for " gluten " for more information. Read labels if you buy processed foods - it's in more things than you'd ever dream. Have even found it in popsicles I was buying for kids. Gave up gluten for almost 3 months, and my psoriasis was greatly improved, and many newer/smaller spots simply disappeared. I am in the process of giving it up again...you'd think I'd learn. LOL This time I will not succumb as quickly to the temptations of bread and other goodies...specially since now I KNOW I can make those things with other gluten free flours!)

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 Giving up gluten is an extreme response to psoriasis. I would never suggest that to someone unless they had exhausted other avenues. I would start buy eliminating major allergens such as dairy, citrus, nuts. We elimated dairy and nuts from my daughters' diet and her symptoms cleared up. If that doesn't work then I would think about eliminating more foods. A girlfriend of mine did have to eliminate gluten from her daughters' diet to clear up her symptoms but it is not necessary in all cases. I had one friend whose daughter was allergic to soy. The same answers don't work for everyone but I would say that a food allergy of some sort is a good bet. Gluten is not good for you in the amounts it is included in the US diet and the less processed your carbs are the healthier they are. I eat organic rice pasta just because I like it.
