diet
Hi,
i was wondering from peoples experiences what foods might be good for
reducing sebderm and what foods are deffinitely a no go. Also i was
wondering if anyone has an experience of significantly reduced
sebderm when they exercise more,
thanks for your time.

p.s, my sebderm is really flaring now

This is just my experience, but dairy, high sugar, and high carb foods seem
to be instrumental at some times at making it flare–I really try to keep
these foods to a minimum and eat mostly protiens and vegetables and only
drink water–have not yet been able to identify a food that helps prevent
it–I have tried eating a lot of fish, mostly salmon and it may help some
but hard to say becasue I have used so many topicals in the past–currently
only using Elidel which though it does not prevent the flares, it does heal
them very very quickly–sometimes it takes only a few hours to reduce
redness and flaking and at its worst, it will take 1-2 days for me–have not
noticed any side effects yet either after 5 weeks of use–the periods in
between the flares are also much longer–I used to only be able to be clear
for maybe three or four days at a time and now I am able to be clear for
weeks at a time
As far as excercise, I think moderate exercise is good but everytime I
excersise to the point of heavy perspiration, my seb derm areas get much
much worse–it does not seem to be the exercise really but the ensuing
sweat on my forhead and in eyebrows that makes the seb derm worse

Hi,
I have Seborrheic Dermatitis and i know that my diet probably doesn’t
help. i was wonderig if anyone out there could give me an example of a
perfect text book diet that eliminated foods which might not be so
good for Seborrheic Dermatitis sufferers. I’ve had this condition for
about 3 years now and it’s been getting considerably worse since
christmas, i would love to be able to reverse the symptoms even if
only relieving them slightly it’s better than nothing i guess
thankyou for your time

My scalp seborrhea/dandruff has been pretty consistent, through 20 years, and a number

Can someone tell me what the seb derm diet entails? I haven’t been
able to track down that information. Thanks!

I’m not an expert but from what I’ve read, a seb derm diet is a diet
that must be free of gluten, candida and all personal allergens.
A simple Google search should yield definitions and some examples.
But basically:
Gluten: wheat, rye, barley, semolina, oats, pastries, yogurt,
pudding, alcohol, flour, pasta
Candida-based: processed sugar products, cakes, sweets, jams, soda,
fruit, honey, flour, potatoes, coffee, wheat, flour, alcohol,
mushrooms, cheese, pasta, canola oil
Allergens: you would probably know what you are allergic to by now,
from experience or allergy tests (skin or blood). Allergens are not
only the foods that give you an immediate reaction. Any sense of
intolerance is an allergen.
There are quite a few exceptions. For instance, not all wheat
products have gluten so you must do your own research.
Needless to say, it’s extremely hard to avoid all of the foods
above. Some people can handle some foods, while others have to avoid
everything.

Not necessarily. The diet can vary over time. Everyones needs are different. A whole foods diet is important(no processed foods). A candida diet is good if someone has a yeast overgrowth and intestinal problems(allergies too).
There are gluten free wheat products available at your local health food store that were mentioned on your list.
This gets confusing that’s why I used a few different natural doctors to understand the entire process. Once they understand you they will put you on the right food plan not the generic ACV SD friendly diet…hahaa. Totally different process than getting your 5 minute doctors consultation and a prescription for steroids or Elidel.

Steph,
You know how I feel about drugs..If you forgot then go over my previous posts.
So you don’t take vitamins nothing to be ashamed of. As far as being an average healthy eater that’s not going to cut it. Average won’t beat it. If I shove to u a diet plan chances are your not going to follow it anyway. So the key is flexibility…you choose so your comfortable, that way you’ll follow thru and give your body foods that heal. Coke doesn’t heal your body herbal teas do but you can drink it if you drink 8 glasses of water a day. So u see where I’m coming from.
Let’s do one on one so email me for the right “plan” which eventually you will incorporate more foods as you improve. Afterwards you should post the plan so that all will see.
