My psoriasis cleanse and diet log

[Ben1]

So during the week I have tried tomato catsup 3 times and tomato salsa (last night) without causing any flaring.  Tomatoes were a major trigger for my plaque psoriasis, so this is very promising and possibly indicates that my 17 months of working on healing my gut lining may have produced some results. 

I am going to continue to take marshmallow root, drink bone broth, take proteolytic enzymes, vitamins and minerals as maintenance.  I am not going to push ingestion of trigger foods, just occasionally enjoy having them back in my diet, and paying close attention to how my body reacts.  I am also going to not ingest things that could re-compromise my gut lining, like pharmaceutical drugs, over the counter pain killers, antibiotics, hormones, pesticides/herbicides, heavy metals (seafood).  I am going to continue to eat non-GMO, organic when possible, low sugar, no/low processed foods, hormone/antibiotic/nitrate/nitrite free/uncured meat when possible.  I am also going to continue to eat anti-fungal foods and probiotic foods (coconut yogurt, kombucha)/take probiotics, at different times daily to support the gut biome.  I am going to keep the alcohol consumption to a minimum (2 shots max every 2 weeks ( I used to be a heavy drinker (4-5 nights a week 4-5 drinks!)).  

In my opinion drinking alcohol, birth control pills (20 years), antibiotics taken daily for acne (for 10+ years), taking Aleve for headaches and eating GMO/processed foods full of chemicals (MSG), antibiotics, hormones, pesticides, herbicides and heavy metals compromised my gut lining.  

Thanks for your support and I hope my sharing of my experience can help others with their psoriasis.  

I will keep you updated if something arises .  

Best of luck to everyone in finding answers and help with your journey.


Hi Schnauzerlover.

Just been reading through all of yours posts and glad to hear that you've got the Psoriasis under control.

Im starting the Candida diet tomorrow and I want to ask you a few questions if you dont mind.

I read that you started with a cleanse of Bone broth for a few days before you started the diet. In your research, did you find that was important, I was just going to start the day with some  Eggs or Kafir than maybe some Bone broth later in the week but i Haven't done too much research on that.

Also, I love coffee and Tea, what tasty substitutes did you put in place , if any.

All the best.
Ben
