(Hello Alan and thanks for your support!)
This morning I woke up and found the most stubborn patch of psoriasis that I have, a triangular patch next to my eye/in the crows feet area, has shed most of its scaly texture. The inflammation has reduced also, just a little redness is left. My eyelids redness is faint with minimal scales and the same for the areas near my chin and temples, in my hairline.
It sure has been hard not having my favorite crackers (with my salads), rye bread toast, rice, potatoes, and my beloved dark !chocolate!, but these results have given me the boost of encouragement to keep going.
I am a bit concerned about the weight loss though. I have lost 4 pounds in one week, and am now down to 109 lbs. Yikes! I never though I would be concerned about that. Two years ago I lost 55 pounds and pretty much got to my ideal weight. Little did I know that I would have to deal with psoriasis. Those missing grainy carbs really drop the calorie count.
Right now I am having organic scrambled eggs (with grass fed butter) and sipping bone broth for breakfast. Yum.
I recently had ground lamb patties seasoned with marjoram, rosemary, oregano, green onion and garlic on a chard leaf, and it tasted pretty much like gyros, which I love. I can't wait to add the tzatziki sauce, which will make it taste even better. However I will miss the feta cheese. :(
Also loving the sauteed asparagus or zucchini with butter and dill, salt and pepper for sides to my meat!
I have also added to my current daily supplements/vitamins, slippery elm. This is supposed to coat your gut and help it to heal. However I need to take it 2 hours before/after taking my other vitamins/supplements and food as slippery elm's coating of the gut can interfere with the absorption of those vitamins, minerals and food. People wit IBS, and other gut issues give great reviews for this supplement in helping them with their symptoms.
Thanks for reading and have a great day.
