When you have bloody diarrhea for months at a time, you get to feeling like death couldn’t be much worse than life.

It says state level but most likely local regs require it.

It doesn’t necessarily stem from the microbiome, but a flare up likely ends up affecting it. This study doesn’t surprise me from an anecdotal standpoint.

Well, we just need to increase our microplastics then.

The source was the original scientific journal article mentioning ACE scores.

So maybe I’m a bad person because of my gut health??

Hmmm, I'm the same

I had a flair of sebopsoriais in 2020 that is in its last bit of healing now. It was mostly on my scalp/face. What finally helped clear it up was t/sal shampoo which helped soften everything/remove plaque build up, and after that I’d use t-gel. After the shower blow dry my hair and then apply my topicals. The T/gel and t/sal both worked ok on their own, but when I started to use the t/sal followed by the t/gel is when I started to see a huge difference. My theory is the t/sal helped soften and remove plaque build up enough that the tgel and medications could actually get to the problems areas to treat it. And I’m sure the extra 5 min in the shower letting the t/sal sit also helped soften things.

There is a link between autism and IBS

Applying the topicals is absolutely painstaking. The easiest method I have found is to mix the steroid ointment with lotion (I use one with urea because it helps soften the plaques really well) and then slather my whole body with it. I do it at night and wrap my arms and legs in plastic wrap to keep it in place. Sometimes I’ll even wrap my abdomen up too but that one is hard to do on my own so I don’t do it too often. When I apply it to my scalp I will wear a swim cap over it all night. It looks and feels ridiculous but it’s the only way to treat my scalp.

Agreed. Also, as Dr. Michael Gershon points out in his book ‘the second brain’ living with irritable bowl disease is likely to make someone anxious, depressed, and perhaps suicidal depending on severity. It’s important not to read too much into the connection without proposed mechanisms of modulation.

Phototherapy was helping me too, but not enough to get it down from sever. I don’t know about you but my biggest issue with topicals was applying them carefully when so much of my body was covered in tiny plaques. It was painstaking.

I was lucky with my erythrodeemic psoriasis. I was only 24 at the time which I’m sure helped. Staying hydrated and getting treatment is absolutely key. Luckily it’s pretty easy to notice, because your skin gets red and hot and starts peeling like a snake. And even if you have skin issues, it’s a thing that you look at and go “huh, I should probably call someone”. It’s the only time I’ve ever had a same day derm appointment and I think it was at like 6pm…which is really late in the evening for dermatology

Wow I had never heard of erythrodermic psoriasis. I just looked it up and that sounds terrifying. Google says you can develop pneumonia and die from it. Fortunately I haven’t experienced that before, though most of my body is covered in psoriasis. I have plaque, guttate, inverse and nail psoriasis. Steroid ointments do help but I develop a tolerance to them quickly and then they stop working until I stop using them for a while. Phototherapy works better than anything else I’ve tried but my insurance doesn’t cover it so I can’t afford it.

Historically?

https://www.statista.com/statistics/1007454/cumulative-co2-emissions-worldwide-by-country/

> United States was the biggest emitter in history as of 2021, having released 422 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide (GtCO₂) into the atmosphere since the birth of the industrial revolution. This accounted for roughly a quarter of all historical CO₂ produced from fossil fuels and industry. China was the second-largest contributor to historical emissions, having released 250 GtCO₂.

> The leading carbon majors are all fossil fuel companies, with the top twenty polluters emitting almost 500 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent in the past half a century. This is roughly 35 percent of the global total emissions produced during this period.

But they want you to blame cows and engage in idiotic arguments about their farts or burps or their feels.

Jfc....

Psoriasis is so awful. I was depressed when I had it, and there is nothing like not being able to stand being in your own skin mentally, while your own skin doesn't seem to be able to stand being on you. It's horrible.

Hopefully you clear up soon. I don't have any useful tips to give you. I had sever guttate that became uncontrolled and developed into erythrodermic psoriasis. I got put on an oral steroid for a month, my psoriasis cleared up and hasn't really come back.

I may have missed this somewhere below, but there are tests that can show which foods react with immune system (IgG). My last one was from US Biotek. I avoid the foods that I react with the most and there are many. This, along with low FODMAPs help keep the inflammation down.

I've also noticed a huge amount of people with neuro disorders such as tourettes also have bowel issues.
