Marco Weckerle Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 I had psoriasis - mainly in face - since 15 years. Should i focus on the autoimun shopping list? Thanks for some advice Marco from germany Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carolinaBlue Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 I would try a regular Whole30 first. Even if you eat fairly healthy by conventional standards, you'll develop new cooking and lifestyle skills that may help your psoriasis symptoms. Then you can always try the autoimmune list later if you want to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NaughtyCavegirl Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 I have psoriasis. It's pretty damn stubborn when it wants to be. I haven't been able to get rid of it with standard paleo living, but it's certainly less aggressive and I don't need the steroid treatments as often anymore. I agree with the above, though, try a standard Whole 30 first. I'm just not ready to restrict my diet further yet. Psoriasis is often triggered by stress so do whatever makes you well-nourished and stress-free. If you're OK with the idea of the auto-immune protocol then go for it, but if you're unsure then spend 30 days just following the basic rules before going on the auto-immune plan.

Marco Weckerle Posted June 28, 2013 Author Share Posted June 28, 2013 Thanks for repley. Try coconut Oil in the Face or breast or somwewhere. I have read in this Book. This stuff is amazing. I eat it and although apply it on my Skin. It works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vian Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 I have had psoriasis on the tops of my feet for a few years now. It was starting to heal the first time I went paleo, then i got sick and was perscribed some prednisone for swelling in my knees from the virus I had and in the 8 days I took the prednisone, the psoriasis was almost completely gone, but as soon as I stopped taking it and was still eating crappy, it came right back with a vengeance and it's worse than ever. Hopefully the whole30 will help it! I took pictures of it on like day 3 or 4, so I'll compare that with what it looks like on day 30 and see if there's any improvement. good luck!

Jtandi Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 my psoriasis was about 70% gone after I did my whole100. I am finishing up my whole30 after taking about a month and a half off and found that the trigger for me was dairy. mine is finally completely gone, so 30 days may not be enough, but if you see a change keep going! I reintroduced dairy first after those 100 days and I could tell the difference immediately. I didn't do much more off-roading, but I know dairy was the main problem since it continued to heal once I took it back out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beets Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 I have psoriasis. I had some improvement after a w30, but it got significantly better when I did a 10-day mini AIP. During my w30 I realized nightshades would make my skin itch immediately so I cut them out. The same went for nuts. I think a big difference for me is taking fermented cod liver oil. I'm on my second w30 (after some false starts, some wheat-eating--which resulted in immediate psoriasis flaring) and it's calming down again. I'm following AIP with some changes. I found out I'm ok with egg yolks only. I think I need to get back off coffee but I'm not pushing that now. Maybe next week. Honestly if the AIP doesn't freak you out, I don't see why you need to finish a regular w30. Why not just do it all at once? Or at least take out nightshades and unsoaked nuts? Maybe take out eggs for a bit and later add yolks back? After eliminating nightshades for a few days and then adding them back I could see/feel immediate reaction. So you can test various foods one at a time. It might not be definitive but you can get a general idea of what is most exacerbating. That said, AIP can feel awfully restrictive after W30. You will probably feel grumpy about it for a few days. Paleo Mom has a ton of good info on psoriasis, AIP and the leaky gut/skin connection. http://www.thepaleomom.com/2012/04/modifying-paleo-to-treat-psoriasis.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beets Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 The good thing about starting with AIP or even modified AIP is that it'll make the regular W30 food list seem luxurious. It's not *that* bad though. Just takes some adjusting. I kinda figure why get used to eating eggs, chili and tomato salads if you might go on AIP down the road?
