I am looking for people who want to connect and be proactive in beating this goddamn thing. I think I have almost cracked it!

So,  I have had HS for around 10 years and like many of you I have experimented with lots of different treatments. But around 5 years ago, I read a book by Tara Grant called The Hidden Plague, which detailed how she had put her HS into remission using diet and lifestyle changes.

After reading this book I went on a diet called the autoimmune protocol, which meant not eating anything that could cause a flare up. It's a very intense diet, but after a month, everything had gone. I 100% know that what I eat has a direct effect on my HS; I don't know if it is the same for everyone, but who knows...

For me, this meant no nightshades, no dairy, no gluten. And after quitting smoking, things got even better. However, all this time later I still get the occasional flare up, which is so frustrating and I know I am eating something that my body doesn't like. So, once again, I am going to do this diet, and figure out what it is that is giving me all this grief and scars. 

If you are someone who thinks that diet may affect your HS, if you're as sick of this as I am and if you want someone to lean on, I propose that we link up, share ideas, do this diet together and share our findings. As far as I can see, this is the only thing that works, and people with HS need to support each other, because let's be honest, it is not something you want to talk about with anyone else. 

Ping me a comment if you want to fuck this thing off.
