I hope it helps other sufferers, I’m still itch free after ten days of following my new diet, except for three days of this when I inadvertently had a fresh squeezed large orange one day, marmalade on another and then a J20 drink when I really suffered badly with itching on these three nights🙀 I will gradually try and introduce forbidden foods on a ‘single’ basis in another couple of weeks but then I will dread it if I get the itching again but at least I may be able to widen my diet range. My dear husband does our cooking and now he has to cook mine separately which he says he doesn’t mind as long as it helps me - he’s 81🤗 nice chatting to a fellow sufferer
Hi Shelia! Thank you for sharing your information!
Thanks so much for the information. I have food allergies (white potatoes and eggs). I already try to avoid foods or products (flu shots) with white potatoes and/or eggs in them. For some reason I don't understand (maybe the baking is what helps) I can eat cakes prepared with eggs but flu shots give me a high fever. I guess I am doing the right thing without knowing.
Best of luck and take care, Kathy Patterson
It is most important that Dermatologists should advise PN patients on prohibited foods with PN as since I have eliminated them, my itching has greatly reduced, sometimes doesn’t happen. Unfortunately, I have Stage 3 CKD and under active thyroid where there are many more foods prohibited as these two also cause itching so my range of allowed foods has diminished greatly.😢
It's wonderful that avoiding certain foods has helped reduce your itching! Many dermatologists don't routinely discuss dietary changes for PN because the research is still developing, but some people do find relief through food modifications.
Several dietary approaches may help manage PN symptoms:
