Delete if not allowed.  but just curious if anyone here has psoriasis ?Delete if not allowed. but just curious if anyone here has psoriasis ? And did you notice your skin get better/worse on IP? I can’t decide if it’s just because it’s winter (ugh) or if it’s maybe reacting to the soy? Mine has gotten worse in the last month that I started and just wanted to see about others. thanks in advance  

Answer 1

Mine got worse the first month then much better!

@bendy I am hopeful for that!

@eglantine  I’m getting married in June so I’m trying not to stress over it yet

Stress can legit cause flair ups too! Zen yourself and congratulations!  

Answer 2

If your gut can’t tolerate a food like soy, dairy, wheat or corn then yes your psoriasis is definitely going to get worse.

@tomlin I’m definitely eating more foods with soy now than I used to so I don’t know it’s it’s a problem or not. I’m eating less dairy and wheat.  

Answer 3

Much, much better

@operose I’m going to hope mine will get there! This is my second time on IP and I don’t remember mine getting worse the first time around.

@lichen5502 id it’s your second time and you didn’t have a reaction the first time it may not be the soy but anything is possible people can definitely react to foods later in life.  

Answer 4

My daughters psoriasis is tied to gluten. Same with a few other family members. I don’t think it’s soy. Not too many IP options but you will know in a few days. her plaques literally melted away in days when she went gluten free. It was so dramatic that I recommend trying it.

@kampmeier I have heard that quite a bit. I saw the list of GF options. I think I will try that! Thank you!  

Answer 5

Mine got worse first and now it’s getting better. I thought I was going to be miserable the whole time but in the last week I’ve had significant improvement.  

Comments

@paterson I’m hopeful for that!  

Answer 6

I have it on areas on my scalp. It gets better and worse all the time regardless of being on IP.  

Answer 7

Thanks for the input everyone! I’ve had psoriasis for half my life, but in the last few years it had been very little, not inflamed and not itchy. So I just didn’t know if there was a connection with all my new spots. Willing to give it more time and try GF and see what happens.  

Answer 8

Mine fluctuates, but in general, it’s better.  

Answer 9

Mine gets worse if I eat a lot if the soy puff so I tend to stay away from them. Mine got better in the summer as I got further asking in the protocol. Trial and error with soy products.  

Answer 10

Mine got worse and I didn't think it could be connected until you said something. I have it on my scalp all the time. Haven't had a patch in like 15 years. I've had two patches in the past 3 months.
