What are some common triggers of flare-ups?
In my experience? Diet (gluten, red meat, fatty foods, sugar, dairy, etc.), stress, the Koebner phenomenon, medication rebound, drug aggravation (i.e. prednisone), weather, and infection... and then the other 50% of the time, who knows 😀
Wow this is great to know
I agree with VickiN. Although I have a trigger that I would never have guessed would be and that is blueberries. Not sure but I think almonds too.
This is really interesting to hear. I have never heard about triggers like this.
Hello
, I have a lot of triggers, but my biggest one is tomatoes. Thanks for sharing so much information. Diane (Team Member) Yes. Diet is a big trigger for me. Nightshades like white potatoes and tomatoes. Also gluten, red meat, greasy foods, sugar, dairy, etc....as already mentioned above. Another massive trigger is stress.
, stress is a really big one for me too (alongside infection and skin injury). Is there anything you do to try to manage your stress levels? -Catherine, Community Moderator
