Get to the root of hs

For the first time is 8 years I am lesion free. My hs disease state was related to ingesting certain foods.

I purchased a food sensitivity kit online (Everlywell) that helped me identify irritating foods. Wheat products and cows milk among other foods had to be completely eliminated from my diet. My hs went from moderate to mild. From there I discovered other irritating foods undetected by the sensitivity test. For instance, I had to substitute Parboiled Rice for Jasmine rice. Because Parboiled Rice would instantaneously cause an hs lesion.

It is obvious to me that there is a digestive component to hs.

My next discussion will disclose how I went from mild to having no lesions.
