My husband also has psoriasis. The only thing that works for him is medication (humira). I'm not touching on the leaky gut thing. He does have some digestive issues but it's more likely to be a mild form of crohns which is caused by the same auto-immune disease.

^Same, except I have psoriatic arthritis. Never had skin plaques. I'm in the small percentage who just has it manifest on their nails. I also have digestive issues.

I carry a gene for crohn's and also have celiac disease. I too have digestive issues.

No, it's not leaky gut.

I can't take humira or other biologics due to a history of cancer. I have no gluten intolerance or dairy intolerance but I've given them both up regardless. Everyone is different and reacts differently to dietary changes. For me, I know this is leaky gut as over the years it has gotten better/worse depending on my diet ... anyway....wishing us all good health

I've lived with Psoriasis for over 30 years. When I was in my 20's it was pretty severe and covered most of my body, as I've gotten older it has been slowly disappearing, now mostly only on my arms. For me no changes in my diet has seemed to make any difference. What has seemed to make the most difference was quitting smoking, ever since I've stopped smoking it's been slowly disappearing, this has taken years. I haven't been a smoker in about 17 years now.

Personally I do not use any of the medications available via prescription or OTC. The side effects don't seem worth it IMHO. Most of the topicals contain some type of steroid and work by thinning your skin which can and will most likely give you stretch marks, I have some from when my Doctor had me using them. The ingestible medications at the time were far more harmful and will not only attack the Psoriasis but your internal organs. They required frequent blood tests to monitor the internal damage that is occurring. I have also been given UVB treatments, those seemed to work the best, but those were costing abut $200 a month and I can get the same results by just spending time in the sun. However, this can also result in skin cancer. This was a number of years ago, I have not tried any of the newer medications that have come on the market and frankly never intend to. The risks for any treatment type just aren't worth it to me.

Most of the time I forget I even have it since it's purely a cosmetic issue in my life. I honestly will almost completely forget I have it until some "helpful" person points it out and tells me they have the "cure".

I wish you the best of luck in your change of lifestyle and hope it gives you the results you are looking for.

I don't use steroids. I can't take biologics due to a cancer history. I control my psoriasis through diet and taking an oral form of retin A called Acitretin which isn't as hard on your liver and doesn't require blood tests. I passed on UVB also.. I have never smoked. you are correct - steroids are horrible.

Again, show where I stated it did?

Why are you posting links to random products if not in response to the topic then? Maybe that's where the confusion came in. It would help if you explained what your intention was.
