I've has HS now since 2009, and surgery after surgery after surgery after surgery.
It is so crazy how the body works.
Your food have soooooo much to do with HS
Thank you for this!! I was too embarrassed to go to the doctor and show them my groin and buttocks region as a teen, 🤦🏻♀️ but I had been suffering for 10+ years when I finally got a diagnosis after I showed someone. Turns out, this was a deeper issue and it was NOT just boils or uncleanliness as many assumed. Thank you for helping me live with HS. It is so hard to be intimate in many aspects because of fear of what others will think, including my husband. But you give me hope. Thank you... Please keep the videos coming. We are benefitting from your care and knowledge. 💕🙏🏻 God bless.
I use virgin coconut oil with pure tea tree oil, oregano oil, and 100% clove oil all mixed together and I rub this on my skin from head to toe after I bathe and it has really helped so maybe it’ll help someone else to. These oils are anti-microbial antibacterial antiviral, and anti-fungal. All these oils are good in hot tea with honey. I hope this helps someone
I have my lesions tested 100% of time and there is NO infection. Therefore I do not take antibiotics. I believe that they also effects my skin and gut microbiome. I prefer to modulate inflammation using dietary interventions and hormone control. I've worked 5-long years to rebuild my gut microbiome and I do not wish to alter that unless it is a life and death situation. I've had to treat Candida overgrowth and biofilms in the past.
My specialist actually put me on a treatment that helped me surpress my HS for 90%, it still comes up in moments i'm stressed and I really need to cut smoking. She prescribed me a oral zink treatment of 1 month to boost my immune system in combination with a topical that consists out of clindamycin and benzoylperoxid which I had to apply twice a day for two weeks after showering with a antibacterial body wash. I'm starting with laser hair removal soon and hopefully remission after living half my life with this curse.
Great info👍 Thanks so much for this channel!
Thanks very helpful
Bless you for doing these videos! Would you mind doing one on results of Accutane or isotretinoin on HS? I´ve had success with it before. Thank you!
Thanks for your video. I just came back from my doctor and she prescribed clindamycin 300mg and topical clindamycin. I am taking renewlife extracare prebiotic 30 billion live cultures and 12 strain. I had gotten off some of doing keto where I lost 125 pounds, so I glad to know that keto is one of the best ways to control insulin resistance. Any advice you can give to increase microbial and gut health care.
You mentioned several diets that are beneficial for hs. The ones i recall are keto and paleo. But there were 2 other diets that you mentioned but i cant find the video.
Hi, Sally! Another helpful diet is the autoimmune paleo (AIP) diet. It's aimed at eliminating foods that damage the gut and irritate the immune system. "The Paleo Approach" by Dr. Sarah Ballantyne is a great book to check out. :-)
Hi! Thanks for the info. Any advice on where to start if we have already gone onto antibiotic treatment, how do we rebuild after antibiotic use?
Faheeza Rangunwala after my antibiotics I rebuilt my microflora with probiotics. My heavy use of probiotics I have not had a flare up in over a year. I thank probiotics and healthy lifestyle
Can you do a video on laser hair removal therapy pros and cons? Or if you guys recommend it or not? My dermatologist is recommending it but I'm unsure as I don't feel she really knows and understands this disease.
Yes - we will talk about this! Thanks, Megan. :-)
I've been diagnosed with HS and my doctor prescribed a topical antibiotic as a preventative measure. I am currently flare-free so I'm hesitant to use this for prevention. Would you recommend that?
Mam how about E Doxycycline dt tablet?
I have stage 3 the worst of the worst I also had a complete hysterectomy
It's also a auto immune disease and steroids works really well but then there is a risk and weight gain with steriods I have been through the ringer with this even right down to surgery
Antibiotics makes it sooo much worse . The initial sores go down but than I get 2 or 3 more in a different area . I’m soooo tired of being put on antibiotics
Thank you for sharing, Azaria. This is a common experience we see among our patients, too.
What about bactrim???
How does someone get off doxycycline?
I have Hurley 3 HS in the inner thigh area. Have had several surgeries to excise the abscesses. So now I'm on Doxycycline Hyclate, makes me sick, causes alot of yeast issues and other side effects but works for now. Seeking a diet that works as i do NOT want to live on antibiotics
I hear you, Kristia! I took Doxycycline myself and developed a lot of yeast issues. A good gut-healing diet will certainly help!
Damn, I just finished a course of anti-biotics...
I cut a fresh garlic taped directly on the leaky abscess it burned with heat on top of it for 3 days straight I think I am stage 1 thought
I have just been issued the 3rd lot of antibiotics for HS in 1 year without being seen....now they want me to take 2 different types at once.....I am in despair because I have told my GP that this has only been a problem since I started having endo/cyst/post opp menopause.....but they said my blood hormone levels are fine.....
Actually the GP phoned my to talk down to me saying he had 40 years experience in skin problems.....when I told him I was shocked he was suggesting more antibiotics, any advice would be great fully appreciate it 🙂
I mix extra virgin coconut oil with tea tree oil, oregano oil and 100% clove oil use this everywhere head to toe after bathing every day. These oils are anti microbial, antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-fungal. All these oils are good to put in your hot tea with honey for a treatment from the inside. I hope this helps you. Also I would visit an OB/GYN to get some birth control
My dermatologist put me on doxycycline. I already cant eat and throw up every day, can I safely stop this antibiotic.. please help
I have only been taking ur for a week.
What would you recommend to get rid of yeast in the body naturally?
Thank you for the great question! We're working on a video to address this.
@@HelpForHS ok great! I have heard that grapefruit is good for it whether it be oil, tablets or the actual fruit. Would like to know if you have heard of this in your experience with patients or in your practice. Thanks.
Anyone know that HS can shaving in amprit?
I have it and I only shave!! I honestly don’t like getting waxed but I shave because I hate hair when they pop
@@CuttingUpWithT and it is trigered HS?
What are your thoughts on Humira?
Great question! I actually made a video about Humira a while ago on our other channel. Here is the link: czcams.com/video/VtdDFBMdACU/video.html
Humira has given many people relief, but it can come with dangerous side effects, including an increased risk of cancer. I've also heard from several people that Humira made them worse, or that it helped for a while and then stopped working. Overall I'm not a fan, but I also acknowledge that it could be helpful for the right person.
Macrobid was the antibiotic I was prescribed for another reason, and found that after 2 pills, it IMMENSELY helped take away any HS cysts very quickly.
However, I am on a lazy keto diet now with no processed carbs (ie bread or other yeast foods, etc).
I avoid nightshades and ALL starchy veggies. Sweet potatoes, corn (any corn ingredients, even corn syrup) and nightshades are all my triggers. The only fruits I eat are berries.
This is definitely a better lifestyle change for management. I also include probiotic foods daily. As long as I eat this way, I have no issues. But if I slip up, I have a problem 24 hrs later.
Question: gram negative and gram positive - that seems to be what Macrobid is. Other antibiotics never actually helped my HS, but this one did as a bonus since I was taking it for another reason. Why would something being gram-positive and gram-negative help so much? This antibiotic was specifically prescribed because others caused yeast infections and I wasn’t pregnant or planning to get pregnant. That was the reason this one was chosen. No yeast infection happened either.
Hi! It sounds like you're doing amazingly well with your diet; that's excellent!
"Gram-negative" and "gram-positive" refer to types of bacteria and how they stain under a microscope. If an antibiotic works on both types of bugs, it likely is more broad-spectrum and possibly very anti-inflammatory (that is another mechanism of antibiotics).
cut caffeine and sugar from your diet and you will be inflammation-free
Yeast dairy and night shade veg too
All carbs
So, if we shouldn’t eat yeast does that mean we shouldn’t take probiotics?
curlygirlyac I have Hs. Once I finished antibiotics I started upping my probiotic intake, I take probiotic pills and drink kombucha. Because of the probiotics I haven't had a flare up. Its been over a year. If I don't take probiotics for a few days or so I stared the beginnings of a flare up.
This is my experience, I will never stop taking them.
I agree with Kate! Probiotics are very helpful for HS and pretty much any inflammatory condition. Not everyone does well with kombucha because of the yeast and sugar it contains (myself included!!), but a good probiotic with lactobacillus and bifidobcteria can be very supportive. For people with HS, I advise against probiotics that contain Saccharomyces boulardii, which is a type of probiotic yeast than can cross-react with the Saccharomyces cerevisiae (brewer's yeast) that most HS sufferers are sensitive to.
I don’t take them as a supplement - I eat a bit of sauerkraut daily. That’s the only one that doesn’t seem to affect me as much as other probiotic food options that contain yeast. 🤷♀️ Am I sick of sauerkraut? 🤣 Absolutely! But it works! And I would much rather keep a little bit in my diet daily than go through HS issues. It’s one of those.. “it is what it is” things. I make a small saucepot of it every Sunday for the wk like clockwork.
This is great input, and it's also a perfect example of everyone having different triggers. Thanks for sharing!
@@HelpForHS I am being treated for Leaky Gut. The doctor started me out on Nystatin and a probiotic containing saccharomyces boulardi. In the last three months I’ve started getting bumps under my arm. They seem to be hormonal as I flare up a day prior to menses and they leave when my menses is complete. I went to a derm and she said that it looks like farbuncle and prescribed doxycycline
For HS go straight to plastic surgeon and do Surgery no other treatments are workable
You sound crazy. Hs is a hornone driven disorder caused by a bad diet. Keto or carnivore diet is a complete cure.
