Does anyone know of any diets or any food they cut out that improved their HS flare ups and symptoms?

    Hi blondie

    Please see my post ~4 months ago: (not sure how to create the link)

    https://patient.info/forums/discuss/chinese-medicine-helped-me-597346

    It involved seeing a really good Chinese doctor (acupuncturist/herbalist) and reverting for a time to a very plain diet.  I saw one while I was in Hong Kong in 2007 and had no success at all, so was at first reluctant to see another until persuaded by a friend who swore by her. I now do also, as I have been free of HS for 9 years apart from a small blemish recently when I saw her and nipped it in the bud.

    I sincerely wish you luck

    Yes like any professions or trade, some individuals are better than others.  Now the location of the one I have seen may be a problem for you, depending on which corner of the Earth you reside ... I'm in Melbourne, Australia.  Her name is Sue Li in the suburb of Moorabbin.  However if that is out of the question, I suggest that you ask about for recommendations.  The friend who recommended her to me wasn't Asian, but the Asian friends you trust may be a good place to start.  FYI I didn't find one hit for a review on her on Google, so it can be hard to know.
