<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Don, I've had what has been diagnosed as psoriasis on elbows, knees, and knuckles for about ten years - since diagnosis. It responds to cortisone (horrid stuff with who knows what negative reactions) but that is only temporary. I did have a short bout with DH after trying to get healthy by eating wheat germ - just prior to going on GF diet. The itch is overwhelming. Is there any connection between psoriasis and gluten??? Perhaps the large amount of calcium I take has smetin t do with it. I'm open to any helpful suggestions. Gayle
