Good luck Ripper.

Im not sure whether I have PsA or gout - have Ps for sure.  Never pushed the docs to get to the bottom of it.  Check out BJM posting in the Vit D/Ibu regime he has similar situation.

I never thought diet could be so influential in Ps and it wasnt until I got punishing pain in my hips that caused me to get onto this forum.  Actually Doc gave me the NSAID naproxen which helped, Id tried Ibuprofen which had no impact but through researching the drug discovered PsA and this forum and Barney's blog.  Impact of change in diet and VitD supplementation on my Ps was absolutely incredible - check out my photos in my gallery.  Ive been on this regime now for nearly 140 days and my Ps is the best its been in I dont know how many years.  For the time of year it is nothing short of miraculous not just better but better at a stage in my Ps cycle where it should have got worse and Id be cracking and bleeding!

However it didnt do anything for the pain in my hips.  I tried going off the NSAIDs and the pain came back.  Note at this time I hadnt given up dairy in fact I was having gluten free oats/porridge with milk daily.  Thought Id give up the dairy for a while roughly half way through ie about 70 days ago.  Almost immediate reduction on the pain in my hips.  Left hip is back to normal now but the right is still a little bit grumbly, might be some permanent damage.  X-ray interpretation was wear and tear! I now get decent nights sleep even though Im off the NSAID completely.

Anyway thats my experience, hope it gives you encouragement in trying your regime and that you get positive results.

Cheers Cogs

Dear folks,

hi !

may I ask whar kind of viral infection did you have at your 30's that caused psoriasis ??
Did this virus or any other drug  that you might intake this time , imfluenced anyhow  your liver, kidneys or other ???
Do you think your gastro problems are close related to change in your diet ?
Do you have any liver or kidneys pain ???
Do you urinate everyday and how often ??
Do you have any other skin symptoms ( not psoriasis ) or had during viral infection ??

consider:  chondroitin intake and  heavy detox before you start this diet ...

remember - no sugar !!!! and low glicemic index food !!!

this is what I have done and also might help You:

1. quitted smoking ( very important )
2. detoxified my liver, kidneys , cleansed bowel / guts
3. used probiotic bacteria:

Lactobacillus acidophilus
Lactobacillus casei
Lactobacillus plantarum
Lactobacillus rhamnosus
Bifidobacetrium bifidum
Lactobacillus bulgaricus

3. excluded all oils ( butter , margarine , olive oil ) from my diet exept flaxseed oil and fish oils. I mix flaxseed oil with low fat cottage cheese and cinamon - its important - ( 50 ml oil / 100 mg of cottage but you may eat more of course )these are what we need. All these oils are omega 3

4. Drink lecithin to burn cholesterol and protect nerve system.
5. Use steamer for food processing ( fish , vegetable )
6. checked glicemic index of all food and I prefer these with low index - this is because of glucose that I want to reduce.
7. Eat 4-5 small meals a day to support high metabolism. I use beetroot as a marker for metabolism - earlier when I ate beetroot salad it stayed in guts for up to 2 days now it is up to 10 hours.
8. Supplement with : vitamin B complex ( all from B group ), vitamin E, Zinc ( and every other day Selenium - as it is antagonist of Zinc and vice versa ) , Calcium ( sometimes with D3 vitamin ), sometimes Magnesium and Copper. Avoiding vit.C. ( excluded all citrus )
9. During detoxification you need to supplement with Potassium to keep water in your cells ( I used every other day )
10. Every day I use pill to support my liver.
11. I don't eat any meal after 6 pm
12 don't drink milk at all as it slows down metabolism and depress absorbtion of calcium ( human is only adult mammal that drink milk )
13 drink water only and some herbal tea ( based on silymarol ) for liver and metabolism.
14 eat more garlic and onion as they are great antioxidants
15 meat - steamed chicken or fish , rarely a bite of red meat
16 avoid cabbage
17 avoid creams with vitamin A, use a lot of greasy creams to keep your skin lubricated.
18 do not scratch your psoriasis spots, remove scales with creams as skin needs to breathe
19 after 2 weeks of diet I use L-arginine ( 1 dose ) but only one day a week in the morning about 60 minutes after breakfast to feed my skin with omega3 metobolites. Do not use L-arginine more often as it expands capillaries. So for one day your skin can get a bit worse but next day it should be much better.
20 read this : You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login - RXRa is retinoid receptor that is reduced in psoriatric skin
21 we need 1g of oils for each kg of our body. ( kg is approx.2 lbs ) do not eat to much proteins.
22 check thyroid, adrenal hormones level
23 check blood antibody for viruses,Staphylococcus and streptococci

I use this for about 4 weeks now and feel much better, but it takes approx 3 months to rebuild your body cells with omega 3
