Hidradenitis Suppurativa Foods to Avoid as a Sufferer



The truth is that if you know hidradenitis suppurativa foods to avoid in your diet, you are almost close to getting healing from your acne inversa (another name for the skin disorder) permanently. A lot of sufferers don’t have this type of information except they are very active on the internet and have the opportunity to read lots of blog entries and articles on hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) on the web.

Majority of patients who consulted with their doctors and dermatologists have been made to believe that HS is an incurable skin disease, disorder or condition which they have to live with for the rest of their lives.  But this is not true at all! As of now, there are natural treatments for hidradenitis suppurativa created by ex-sufferers who self-experimented with themselves and had a breakthrough. You can read one of the product reviews here. This is a simple natural system developed by Therese Wilson called The Fast Hidradenitis Suppurativa Cure and it is in ebook PDF format.

With that said, there are two broad options HS sufferer has to observe in order to cure HS permanently. The first option is to make dietary changes while the second option is to make lifestyle changes. As you can guess, both options require sacrifice on your part because you may have to give up on your favourite foods, drinks and others.

However, it is safe, effective and of no side effects by any stretch of the imagination. Yes, the only hard part is your decision or resolve to change from your comfort foods to what your body really needs in order to stay healthy and happy.

In my previous blog post on the foods to avoid when you have hidradenitis suppurativa, I listed some foods in the nightshade family or group and whole grains as potential trigger items to steer clear from. These products have one or more unfriendly properties that will easily trigger flare-ups in your body. The easiest way to know your HS trigger foods is to keep a diary of what you eat, eliminate and introduce items that you suspect are your triggers from time to time in order to tamp down on what to avoid from your diet or meal plan.

Like I said before, hidradenitis suppurativa foods to avoid are mainly in the nightshades and whole grains groups. Although it is very expensive to continually stock your pantry with fresh produce, eating fresh foods and fruits that are low in fructose (i.e. sugar) is highly recommended. You must be willing to detox your body of processed foods so that you can live a healthy and happy life free of acne inversa.

Briefly, listed below are the basic changes you have to make to your diet and lifestyle.

Dietary Changes

  • Avoid foods in the nightshade family, e.g. potatoes, tomatoes, tobacco, goji berries, just to mention a few.

  • Avoid whole grains meals such as wheat, corn chips, flour, etc.

  • Eliminate processed foods in your diet or meal plan.

  • Eat fresh produce i.e. organic meats, fruits, vegetables, etc.

  • Eliminate or reduce the concentration of sugar in your diet.

  • Remove legumes and dairy products from your diet.

  • Avoid oily and fried foods.

  • Drop caffeine from your diet.


Lifestyle Changes

  • Stop alcohol intake.

  • Quit tobacco smoking.

  • Get yourself relaxed and have regular rest.

  • Exercise regularly.

  • You have to lose weight if you are obese or overweight.


If you read my Fast Hidradenitis Suppurativa Cure review and download the ebook PDF by Therese Wilson, you will find all the hidradenitis suppurativa foods to avoid. Best of all, you will have the opportunity to consult with her because every HS sufferer reacts differently to different types of HS trigger foods. But always remember that it is good nutrition and healthy lifestyle that will make your HS to go into remission and not come back.

To your health!

Foods to Avoid When You Have Hidradenitis Suppurativa



Before I list some of the foods to avoid when you have hidradenitis suppurativa, I want to briefly discuss other vital information you also need to know about this chronic skin disease known as acne inversa. Although scientific evidence is not conclusive yet about hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) disease, one can safely say that it is a heritable and autoimmune disease.

There are lots of sufferers out there who have confirmed that diet has a great role to play in curbing and managing HS. There are foods you can eat to boost your immune system in order to fight off frequent flare-ups and breakouts. You also have some foods to avoid when you have hidradenitis suppurativa. As a sufferer, you really need to be mindful of what to eat, drink or smoke.

For now, there is no permanent cure for HS in the medical field. It is all a regime of antibiotic medicines, incision and drainage and surgery. And there is a high chance of HS coming back with these treatments. Luckily enough, some daring ex-sufferers who felt that they cannot afford to live with HS pain and discomfort for the rest of their lives, took up the gauntlet, experimented with themselves and were able to create natural cures for hidradenitis suppurativa. A good example of such success story and breakthrough natural treatment is Fast Hidradenitis Suppurativa Cure ebook PDF by ThereseWilson.  

Most importantly, you should not take hook, line and sinker, the list of foods to avoid when you have hidradenitis suppurativa. The simple reason is that individuals are different. A specific food may easily trigger flare up in one person and it may not in another person. For instance, a sufferer in one of the health forums that I am a member said that smoking don’t cause any flare up in her. But majority of patients have confirmed that tobacco smoking is a triggering factor as far as they are concerned.

What this means is that you have to experiment with your diet and variety of foods by studying what you eat and drink so that you can know your trigger foods that cause flare-ups. You have to introduce and eliminate some specific foods from your menu from time to time in order to clearly understand your triggers because not every HS sufferer reacts to the same type of diet.

With that said, here is a rundown of hidradenitis suppurativa foods to avoid if you are a patient or sufferer.

  1. Foods in the nightshades family including potatoes, hot peppers, tomatoes, tomatillos, tobacco, etc
  2. Wheat, corn chips, legumes, dairy products, etc
