Candida
This morning I had a look around some other blogs written on psoriasis and diet. One in particular led me down the path of investigating Candida Albicans. The words have been buzzing around the periphery of my mind for some time now but for one reason or another I have failed to investigate. There seems to be plenty of info out there on the subject and a general agreement that it has detrimental effects on the gut (leaky gut). I’m impressed and encouraged by the concise nature of the Candida information and diet in comparison with the Pagano regimen. Without going into too much detail, the general idea is that an overgrowth of the bacteria Candida Albicans leads to worsening of the permeability of the gut lining. The aims of the Candida regimen are the same as the Pagano regime only considerably more focussed. One of the main differences is the need to eliminate all forms of sugar from the diet (including fresh and dried fruit and honey). I eat lots of fruit and honey. Apparently the bacteria feed on the sugars. Suggestions are also made for supplements to help restore the ‘good’ bacteria levels in the gut. I think it warrants an experiment.

Psoriasis treatment should always come with healthy diet. Nice post.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you can try filtered apple cider vinegar as part of your treatment. This one works for me.
