Hi everyone, my name’s Gabe Dehlendorf and I got diagnosed with PSC/AIH overlap and Crohn’s in October. I started itching in February and wanted people to know that kale has completely eliminated my itching. I’m not sure if the itching gets a lot worse or not, but I was constantly having a burning itching sensation in my hands and feet and sometimes it felt like insect were walking on my skin. I am 20 and the disease definitely started within the last year or two, in case that is relevant. I hope someone gets relief out of this info!
I really don’t eat that much. Every time I start to feel the distinct tingly itchy sensation in my feet, I eat maybe 3 or 4 handfuls of the leaves out of a very large $3 bag. That usually lasts me 2 days or so and when I eat more I can definitely have relief up to 3 or 4 days without any more kale. It is a lot more fun than stirring the cholestyramine powder all the time… I will say though that my symptoms are probably earlier on in the prognosis, so maybe it will be less effective as time goes on. I really hope it helps though! That itching can really test you
