A couple of years ago, I had intensive surgery. Afterwards I couldn't stand the sight, smell, texture or taste of food of any kiind. I lost about twenty pounds in three weeks. And my psoriasis went away. All of it. Off my scalp, off my hairline off my body. no spots, no scales.

I started eating and after a while my weight started coming back. And gradually the psoriais did too. I thought maybe it had something to do with not eating sugar or wheat or something,

But my friends natural remedies book says that nearly a hundred percent of psoriasis sufferers see the  condition go away when they lose weight.

I wish that was enough of a motivation to make me go on a diet, but it hasnt' been so far.

Has this happened to anyone else?

When I went gluten free (wheat, barley, and rye free) my psoriasis disappeared for a time. It's back now (although not as bad), and I'm trying to eliminate other things, including ALL grains (rice, corn, etc.) plus sugars.

Like with any AI disease, psoriasis will have periods of flare ups and remissions. They are not sure (they guess at it) what triggers flare ups so I think it would be a guess as to what causes remissions as well. I have had periods of time where I would rapidly lose weight and slowly gain it back but it never had any affect to my psoriasis.

I am losing weight and my psoriasis is horrible right now. I do know stress is a big trigger for me. I fell in Oct and broke my arm and this added to the stress level.

Ten yrs ago at 37 I had a heart attack and later, three stents implanted. Immune system reacted with severe P. Tried every topical from all continents, Enbrel, Humira....thousands of $$. The ONLY reliable relief I get from Neoral (Cyclosporine). Using it with caution. See for side effects http://ibdcrohns.about.com/cs/prescriptiondrugs/p/medcyclosporin.htm. I use it before summer comes. Long sleeves and slacks Sep-May..............
I am looking for more info about Trichuris suis (TSO). See http://biomonde-asia.com/english/home/home.html
I am tired........................

I have had psoriasis since I was a baby, on and off, most of the time only a few spots...
Then after I had my babies I had major flareups, seems like it had to do with hormones and eating a lot of junk during pregnancy.
Anyway- I went to a nutritionist which put me on a strict no sugar/no wheat/no dairy diet.
It was really-really hard (harder than having the baby...) I found out how addicted I was to these things, and how food was not a matter of being hungry but a comforting thing...
3 tough weeks went by, and after that my skin cleared completely!!!
I became an advocate of juicing and healthy eating.
I am in control of what i put in my mouth most of the time, and if the psoriasis raises its head, I know exactly what to do...
