I’ve been able to reverse Lichen Sclerosis by going on a Low Oxalates diet. What are oxalates? Oxalates occurs in low to high amounts in a wide range of plant foods including fruits, vegetables, legumes, grains, spices, herbs, and almost all nuts and seeds. Meat, dairy, and eggs contain negligible amounts of oxalate. All of these foods are either low, medium or high in oxalates.
How does eating a low oxalates diet solve Lichen Sclerosis? For me I have a leaky gut. Why or how did I get a leaky gut? I have celiac disease.. For some people there are other reasons why oxalates may be a problem for you. But if you have Lichen Sclerosis there is some reason why your immune system has been comprised and you will have to figure that out (but that should not stop you from trying a low oxalates diet).
Many people are able to process oxalates in their body without any problem whatsoever, but others absorb too many oxalates which can then link to calcium and form into sharp crystals that lodge in almost any tissue in the body causing or contributing to pain, inflammation, and other conditions (like Lichen Sclerosis).
Steroid creams do not work. After being on a low oxalates diet within a month my LS has reversed by 50%.. and still healing everyday! I wrote up a page about the resources and my experiences with battling Lichen Sclerosis – you can check it out by going to lichensclerosis (dot) wordpress (dot) com. I hope this others – I never thought in a million years I could reverse LS but it’s possible. You can also find further resources by googling VP (Vulvar Pain) Foundation.
Good luck!
