After a recent flare I got reminded of how awful hydradenitis is and I've created an excel file specifically for me which contains basic variables
(date,
affected area,
pain 1-10,
if I did something out of the ordinary,
temperature outside (hot/cold),
any possible leakage and
size of the cyst/node)
After catching up on this forum I also started a diary of what I eat every day in order to find out if anything causes my flares.
I encourage you all to do the same if you want and if you can and you can get results in a year or so by comparing the food diary and the date of the flares.

Eliminate a food group as a whole and gradually reintroduce a new food 1 week at a time.
Eg. Nightshade group (tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, eggplant...)
Dairy group (Milk, cheese, yogurt, sour cream...)

Excellent idea!
I've recently started eating some foods I shouldn't and have noticed some flare ups. Again, I'm not sure there is any correlation but who knows.
I don't really buy into the food elimination belief (in my situation) too much since I had weight loss surgery about 9 months ago and was really limited on foods and my HS never subsided. I fact it grew worse.
But, we all gotta do what we can. Keep the messages coming. Great to hear from you all.

In all honesty it doesn't seem to do anything for me either...
All the power to those it does work for 😊
