What a surprise for me. I have had psoriasis for 30 years. About four years ago, I started having swelling, painful joints and sore, stiff muscles all over that would move around and be in different places. It was assumed that this was due to psoriatic arthritis, the third leading type. My chiropractor has been after me to completely stop eating gluten and other grains instead of just minimizing consumption. Well, finally, after having to use cortisone for the pain and swelling, I decided to do a test. I swore off the grains for two weeks. This made me feel so much better I decided to stretch it out to three weeks. And then the miracle happened. All the joint swelling and pain went away along with the muscle aches so that I dont have to use cortisone! This cleared my system so that I was able to tell that I also need to avoid white potatoes and milk. Fermented dairy, like yogurt and cheese seem to be ok in small amounts. While it is irritating to find yet more foods on my no-no list, the improvement in how I feel, reduction in appetite and cravings, and weight loss, more than make up for the giving up the foods. It seems that a paleo type diet with modifications for my unique biochemistry is the best way for me to go. La dee dah!
