Apart from being allergic to almost everything under the sun, I suffer from psoriasis. So let’s sum this up, shall we? Ever since I saw the allergy specialist (which I shall blog about when his turn comes up), it was identified that I am majorly allergic to candida. Yeast, to the lay man. So if you are allergic to yeast, technically you should NOT eat everything that is on this list called THE CANDIDA DIET. And it is so true. Whenever I eat anything on that list in varying degrees, I start itching, wheezing, sneezing, or getting an asthma attack altogether. And if you browse through the website, you will also learn that all my ailments hold true and NOW I KNOW WHY!!! Fatigue, joint pain, weight gain, fungus, forgetfulness, itchy eyes, rashes and itching, mood swings, cravings…….it all boils down to the overgrowth of yeast in my gut.
To make things worse, I suffer from bloody psoriasis. It is so NOT fun!!! When my candida level increases, my psoriasis gets worse. One triggers off the other and I’m just itching all over. My head feels like I have head lice, my legs have eczema, I am always tired and I’ve tried losing weight with great difficulty.
Please, give me some tips on how I can control psoriasis??? My toe nail is fungus infected perpetually and my head is in bad shape. My legs are always itching and I don’t know what else to do. On top of that, I am allergic to dust mites, mangoes, longan, anti-bacterial soap and detergent, so many that I cannot remember……but the major ones were the yeast and the dust mites.
People who have never taken care of 2 kids alone (and especially if they are like MY kids) will not understand what I go through. The Hubs, who has an easier time than me when he cares for my brood, is well aware of how challenging things get when I do it. The buggers bully me and I allow it. I just don’t know any other way!!!
Breathe-in….Breathe-out……Breathe-in….Breathe-out……..

Oh poor you!!!Sorry for I don’t have any tips for you to control psoriasis, but I really do hope that everything will turn out to be okay! *Big big hugs for you!*
The tangkak medicine man? yeah, please blog about him, i may need to pay him a visit one day. take care u **hugs**
I guess anti-histamines no longer work? I read that you can get some treatement from some place in Turkey for psoriasis? I mean, of course, this is a longer term solution. In the meantime, can I get you some “happy pizza”?
Stress is also a trigger for eczema. I feel for you babe. Use non soap cleansers (Ceptaphil, QV?) and keep moisturising! I was told that humidity actually improves bad skin condition but you’re proving me wrong. Don’t get too hot either, heat always always makes it all worst. Its such a shitty thing to put up with.
Oh – there is no cure. You’ve just got to learn to manage it properly to that it gives you less hell.
My father has psoriasis. And it causes joint pains. He tried everything.Not working. Now he is drinking Intral Juice and I tell u…. he even hike up penang hill now… it used to be hard to even get out of bed so he spend his time sleeping
I have seen how bad psoriasis is as a close family member of mine suffers from that as well. Try Chinese medicine-there is a Sinseh at corner shoplot in USJ Taipan who can prescribe some Chinese herbs + cream that seems to help give some relief.
