  I don’t eat gluten because it provokes my auto immune disorder and makes my psoriasis bloom.

  25 years of doctors telling me that diet cannot influence the condition(s) while prescribing progressively more intense medications. They would sarcastically smirk when I asked… Ohohoho silly patient why would you ask such a dumb question. Not just GPs but Dermatologists too.

  I found out by accident when I taught myself to cook and accidentally cut out wheat and barley.

  Lots of people are intolerant but don’t realize. Many people realize and cut it out of their lives, then have to deal with the sarcasm/cynicism/ignorance of others.

    I think it’s important to know that doctors don’t always know best. I made a post a little higher up about the saturated fat hypothesis with regards to heart disease. Many people get set in their ways, whether they have a “Dr.” in front of their names or not. I’m just a lowly trainer, and I have to take continuing education courses so I’m keeping pace with the latest research and best practices. I think it’s only fair that all doctors be forced to stay updated as well.

      Yes we agree.

      My psoriasis has gone from looking like my joints/hands were covered in dried stucco to being baby smooth.

      If I eat wheat (barley flour seems to be the worst for me actually) the psoriasis will return almost immediately.

      I saw my Dermatologist who delightfully concluded the IR treatments were working. I had to break her heart and tell her its was the gluten all along. She was crestfallen and sputtered some crappy self-soothing remark like “oh I guess everyone’s different”. My non-verbalized thought was “you call yourself a dermatologist and you’re apparently unaware that diet can influence autoimmune disorders”.

        I’m glad you’ve found your trigger. My grandmother had pretty bad psoriasis, she never found her trigger (this was before autoimmune conditions were as well understood as today) but it seemed to go into remission a bit when she’d expose the affected areas to sunlight.

      Actual doctors do continuing medical education all the time.

    Now is it gluten or is it another component of wheat?
    And do you experience classic celiac symptoms?

      Really who can say. But wheat, barely and rye all provoke the psoriasis to bloom so it makes the most sense to assume it’s the gluten. It could be something else that is common to all 3, but that seems to be a stretch when the most obvious explanation makes the most sense.

        Wheat, barley and rye are pretty closely related, from the perspective of the human immune system they might as well be the same plant.

      my understanding is that many react to products made from those grains even when the gluten is removed to a degree that they can be certified as gluten free

  I put this one on the shelf next to the MSG.

    I love gluten and MSG, gotta give the seitan some flavor.

  Feeling bad eating sweetened white bread and thinking gluten is the problem…

  • xep@discuss.online ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    They could both be problems. White bread by itself, even without being sweetened, is still very high in carbohydrates which turns into glucose in the body.

  I have a celiac diagnosis now, but I had to diagnose myself online and fight to get tested. I don’t judge people who try to figure out their own healthcare because the system is happy to abandon them.

    i was tested for it i was negative, you have to convince the doctor to even test it/. im not in the susceptible demographic, apparentlys is specific to certain ancestry in the europe, and not asia.
