I went for a food allergy test I've found out I can't eat gluten barley and wheat so going to cut these out and will let u know if it improves my hs.i would recommend having the test done
Good luck, and let us know how you get on.
My intolerances showed up as dairy, beef, prawns, cabbage, curry powder and yeast!
Oh really. Did u hs improve after not having these
Before I had the test I had already discovered that not having dairy helped to improve the HS, so having the test was really to confirm the link. I was surprised at the other things though!
I've never tried cutting out the other things, because they didn't seem to be affecting me, however I suffer chronic migraines and headaches, I take painkillers every single day. About 4 weeks ago I realised that my head is worse if I eat more bread, so I wondered if it was the yeast. I cut out everything containing yeast and right away my head improved.
I don't think the yeast is linked to my HS though, that is definitely dairy.
So right now I'm having quite a hard time working out what I can eat because yeast extract is in just about everything, and if it doesn't have yeast it has dairy!
But we can only try.
Hi Donna, I had barley come up in mine about 2 years ago. I stopped having barley and I haven't been in hospital since.. I have had lumps still but not serious ones..
Barley is in a lot, watch out for those sauces that it's in, I got caught out a few times by those.
Your intolerance change, so just bear that in mind.. I had another test last week and it came up again as well as every dairy product under the sun. Soya is my new best friend.
I am currently seeing a naturopathy, I have only had one session but next week I get my detox plan so hopefully this will be a success..
I totally believe our illness is to do with food as it's a newish disease.. So I plan on stamping mine out after suffering for 13 years.. enough is enough.
