Gluten intolerance?

Ever since I cut gluten out of my diet back in November, I havent had any new outbreaks and my skin has cleared up. Does anyone know of a gluten link to psoriasis?

  • I gave up bread, pasta & booze about a month& a half ago & my psoriasis is looking great! I have also lost 19 pounds. I wish I had more evidence too.
    • wheat and sugar always make me itchy! it can be pretty hard emotionally and socially, but i am ready to quit the sugar demon and choose me! good to know i'm not alone.

      • You'll have to pry the sugar cubes out of my cold dead hand.
        • what about other alternative sweetners such as agave, honey, stevia, etc? Do you think those affect the psoriasis as well?

          For a month i went on a major cleanse - strict vegan diet, with no sugar of any kind and no gluten, and the obvious, no alcohol / tobacco, etc and the results were amazing!
          • That is an encouraging story

            I wish I had the mojo to try it. I cut out most sugar years ago and it did help with both my skin and my weight. I'm thinking of trying to cut wheat out, but I've know people who don't eat wheat and it is pretty difficult for them

            Then I still smoke and drink, and I'm not ready to give them up to see if it helps. If I knew for a fact that quiting drinking and smoking would clear up my skin I'm maybe I'd find the strength, but maybe not even still ... *sigh*
