I have a lifetime experience with this disease.
There seems to be emerging evidence that dairy and nightshade vegetables create the conditions for HS proliferation.
I can demonstrate potato's cause an inflamation two hours later.. Which subsides after a week if I avoid them again.
I am also a big dairy drinker... Massive... I haven't removed it from my diet yet. I suspect if I stop dairy, I may no longer get inflamation from potato's.
I see lots of people agreeing it's diet and some coming up with some crazy concoctions to control the disease. I think it's more simple than that.
Has anyone managed to prove that diet doesn't help them? I ignored it for ages and think I've finally seen the light.
I changed my diet for my food sensitivities and detoxes to let my body heal, and I pretty much managed to get my HS under some form of control.
I don't eat dairy, red meat, wheat and gluten, corn, corn syrups, sweetness, MSGs or black and white pepper.
I take probiotics too and olive leaf extract to try get rid of systemic candida infection, and that's helped massively too! I think there may be a link between them, once my candida overgrowth is gone, I have next to no problems and my skin starts healing. If it comes back slightly I have a massive flare up!!
I have this disease for over 30 years now , and diet doesn't matter for me . I've gone in remission BIG TIME since taking vitamin D3 15000 ie per day . No more flares ! So simple solution for me that works wonders .
