Foods I Avoid

[Guest guest]

Jayne;

You were asking what foods I avoid? There are specific foods that my

system cannot handle and they are milk, bananas and peanuts. After I

stopped drinking milk, I felt better on 3 pain killers than I did on

4. These foods had a delayed reaction on me, therefor I did not

suspect they were the culprits. I had a test done to determine this -

I feel either a test for food allergies or a process of elimination on

your own is a very wise idea for anyone with PA (or any other

debilitating disease).

Generally speaking, I avoid processed foods, sugary desserts, fried

foods, vegetables from the 'nightshade' family (tomatoes, potatoes,

eggplant, tobacco, paprika - when I stopped eating tomatoes

specifically, my psoriasis showed great improvement), alcohol,

chocolate........ I favor fresh fruits and veggies, whole grains, fish,

and I find flaxseed oil and lecithin granules help.

I tried my best to maintain a diet of pop-tarts, Burger King and

ding-dongs but that didn't work out so well. Changing my eating habits

were very hard for me (I miss cold pizza and doughnuts for breakfast)

but speaking from first hand experience, it's difficult but well worth

it.

I hope this information is of use to you.

Take care,

GS
