Hi, Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a fascinating and chronic skin condition. Like other health conditions, your diet can play a role in managing this condition. Here are some general dietary recommendations that can help manage your hidradenitis suppurativa:
Avoid Inflammatory Foods: It may be a good idea to avoid foods that can be inflammatory, such as processed foods, sugars, and high-glycemic foods.
Anti-Inflammatory Diet: Consuming foods with anti-inflammatory properties, such as omega-3 fatty acids (such as salmon, walnuts, and flaxseed), turmeric, and ginger, may be helpful.
Dairy and Gluten: Dairy products and foods containing gluten can worsen symptoms in some patients. You may want to consider reducing or eliminating these foods from your diet.
Low-Glycemic-Index Foods: Choose low-glycemic-index foods, which raise blood sugar slowly.
Olive Oil and Avocado: Healthy fats, especially olive oil and avocado, can be beneficial due to their anti-inflammatory effects.
In order to better understand your medical history (anamnesis), I need the answers to the following questions:
Do you have any other chronic diseases or medications that you regularly use?
When did your hidradenitis suppurativa symptoms start and in which areas are they more intense?
Have you tried any diet or lifestyle changes before? If so, what were the results?
It is important to consult a dietitian or your doctor to get specific and personalized recommendations on nutrition.
I will now determine which branches you may need to consult.
