How I Cured My Psoriasis By Diet

 To avoid that she says after your cleanse, when you go onto your diet, to add probiobitcs first then wait for a week or so to then add antifungals.  The goal is a slow crowding out of the candida with probitiocs and not an abrupt kill of the candida

After 3 days I will start the diet and also add probiotics, including plain unsweetened kefir/yogurt.  Another thing I plan on adding is pao d'arco tea which is supposed to help heal the gut.  Stevia is supposed to be an okay sweetener that I plan on adding to the plain yogurt/kefir/tea, but stevia is not supposed to have maltodextrin, dextrose or sugar alcohols.  I was able to find a whole leaf brand that was suitable.  Then after a week on probiotics, I will add an antifungal supplement in liquid form that has black walnut, oregano oil and also add coconut oil to my diet. I will also make sure that I drink 72 oz of water during the day.

After reviewing my sources again, I found that I had the probiotics/antifungal regime backwards.  Antifungals should start first, then wait a week to add probiotics.  So my above comments should be amended with this in mind.  Again, antifungals first, then 1 week or so later and probiotics can be added.

I also read that you should heal the gut before going all out on the antifungals. In practice, I went on a anti-candida diet regime and also ate plenty of natural anti-fungals. I had a bit of herxheimer when on holiday in Turkey (pus filled blisters) but this passed after a couple of weeks. In reality you  know if you're going to fast and just ease of the anti-fungals a bit. A lot is common sense and listening to your body, which I'm sure you'll find out for yourself.

I'm a bit late to this thread but read with interest the success that you've had with diet - thanks for sharing!

Hi Alan
congratulations on your great progress, thanks for posting the before and after pictures. I too have altered my eating habits and found that my skin has improved-for me some triggers are:

tomatoes
citrus fruits-and I love grapefruit

gluten
cakes, biscuits and chocolate

definitely alcohol-probably the most noticeable thing-when I go out and have the odd drink my skin always gets angry with me!

In the past I have tried a food diary and managed to find some of the above-I think it may be time to have another go and work on perhaps a few more things-your list has been very helpful-I may have to be a bit stricter on myself-but as you say-its worth it

I am definitely going to have a good read of the information about helping my gut out and spend some time going through all the great information on this website. I only joined yesterday and have seen a plethora of threads that will boost my learning about Psoriasis. Diet has always peaked my interest as I have had a terrible one in the past-its only with being a tad more sensible as I've got older that I have associated the two. Good luck and keep us posted with your progress.

Hi Fred

I'm very well thanks. Busy but winding down for Christmas. Psoriasis, what's that? Ah, yes, I remember now. Nope, I don't suffer from that any more. Mission accomplished!

Have a great Christmas
