    Now is it gluten or is it another component of wheat?
    And do you experience classic celiac symptoms?

      Really who can say. But wheat, barley and rye all provoke the psoriasis to bloom so it makes the most sense to assume it’s the gluten. It could be something else that is common to all 3, but that seems to be a stretch when the most obvious explanation makes the most sense.

      No I don’t get celiac symptoms - since I don’t have celiac disease. Curiously wheat makes the psoriasis bloom, barley does as well but moreso gives me acid reflux immediately after ingestion.

        Wheat, barley and rye are pretty closely related, from the perspective of the human immune system they might as well be the same plant.

      my understanding is that many react to products made from those grains even when the gluten is removed to a degree that they can be certified as gluten free
