Cosentyx/Taltz - Anyone Had Any Problems With Worsening GI Symptoms With Either Of These?

A MyPsoriasisTeam Member asked a question 💭
Bend, OR

I'm looking into IL-17 Blockers and these two medications looked like they might be worth asking my doctor about to get better control over my skin.

I do have inflammation in my upper GI tract from psoriasis, so the possibility of worsening GI symptoms and especially new occurrence of Autoimmune GI issues makes me a bit apprehensive.

The PR sheets state specifically Crohn's & UC, and I was wondering if anyone with Psoriasis has experienced this unfortunate side effect? To my understanding… read more

I definitely have GI problems from the psoriasis that get worse with medication, but its worth it to get my skin healing. I take a probiotic and try to eat at least three kinds of vegetables a day (helps stomach bacteria). I also cut out all carbohydrates and that has helped some too. Try to avoid fatty or really acidic things. It should help some with the inflammation.

Hi I am on cosentyx but have IBS issues for years. It hasn't gotten worse on cosentyx if that helps. Maybe your dr could also help, i ask my dr questions I have because they are treating people like me. It's good you are asking us first hand also. Hope you find answers to your questions

I have a budding business and today I'm making, RD ONLY, my enhanced Psoriasis Internal CBD isolate extracted from hemp flower. Tinctured fresh CBD flower full spectrum booster. Infusing liquid Curcumin with black pepper, the final item to seal it up, the smooth Avocado oil base carrier.

Flexible at night or day and in many drinks. I use mine in morning in my juice. jump starts me for busy day!

I will test it on my core group and report back soon.

I tried Talz quite a while ago and had a moderate swelling and itching at injection site. Dr took me off but we tried again after a year or so and using clobetasol. The site reactions slowed and stopped but only helped the psoriasis for about 9 months. Everyone reacts differently, but whatever you try, stick with it for a good while cause some relief is better than none and there are a limited amount of meds to try.
