Alan540,
Im 66 and have been battling psoriasis for 15 years. After reading your post, I started eating a couple of healthy mouthfuls of sauerkraut daily. As I'm sure you know, sauerkraut is a pro-biotic. I believe this has led to nothing less than a miraculous improvement. Let me set the stage a bit so anyone who reads this will can better determine if my experience may or may not help or apply to them:
About 6 weeks ago, my psoriasis was getting very bad again. I attributed this to the fact that I was "on the road" for work which led to a change in my diet - lots of while rice and scrambled eggs of the type found in hotel breakfast such as at a Holiday Inn. I was also working in grain mills that process corn and rice. Due to the flare I did the following almost all at once- virtually eliminated rice and eggs, switched from coconut oil to a generic skin lotion, retired from my job and eating sauerkraut. I have also been gluten free for about 2 years.
While I obviously can't know for sure what caused my flare or what caused a virtual remission (I get better everyday) - if I had to bet my life on what caused the remission - sauerkraut.
Take this for what its worth. Thank you for your post and good luck to anyone in their quest to improve their own situation.
