[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1553283, member: 41816"] My psoriasis (30+ years duration) cleared up completely within a few weeks of going strictly gluten free. Another of the joys of being prone to autoimmune aggro. I had previously tried a number of elimiation diets to try and break the dratted thing (milk and gluten being suspects), but it turned out that a normal, shortish elimination diet was useless. My psoriasis doesn't start until 72 hours after eating gluten, and then persists for 2-3 weeks, depending on severity. Stress and holidays and travel then add additional wildcards. So I only spotted the connection when I gave the gluten up for different reasons, and kept off it strictly for several months. I am now in a position where I am psoriasis free, but something as minor as a mouthful of bread will trigger a 2-3 week cycle of psoriasis, starting with itching, then red moist stinging, then itching drying flakes, then endless bloomin powdery flakes. It has always been worst in my hairline and behind my ears (thankfully usually out of sight), with occasional patches in my eyebrows and temples. Edited to add: I have always found anything with petroleum based products make the situation worse, while natural oils like jojoba, rosehip oil and similar work much better to moisturise. But I would be very wary of using ANYTHING that has essential oils in it. There are many essential oils (possibly all) which should never be used on aggravated or broken skin, for fear of causing a reaction. [/QUOTE]
