Hi all. Also can relate that GA is such a frustrating condition. It becomes such a focus, watching them grow and spread, while hoping (and trying desperately) for them to fade. I have had (well-controlled) Type 1 diabetes since I was a child and developed GA when I was 29, after having my first child. Slowly it grew and spread over time, mostly on my feet, ankles, knees, lastly to my hands, all over the course of about 6 years. It was so frustrating and I tried different steroid creams, diet changes (AIP diet for 6 months), vitamin E and coconut oils, supplements, steroid injections (which did work pretty well, but was not sustainable) - I had tried just about anything I'd read might work. Over this time, my family grew a small farm and with the lifestyle we started drinking raw milk. I didn't know why, but noticed my GA was slowly fading over the past year, I was so happy and thought it was too good to be true. For those like me willing to change and give up a lot to treat this extremely annoying condition, this was an easy change. I drink about one cup a day, on average. Also, what cures GA seems like it is different for different people, depending on it's root cause. For me, because of the solution, I believe it may have been 'leaky gut'. I stopped drinking raw milk for 2 weeks, and noticed raised bumps coming back where my rash had been on my feet. Which made me feel certain this is the change that cleared up my skin. Just had to share this after my long frustrating struggle with GA. Sincerely hope the best for all of you, take care!
(Aside: drinking raw milk comes with some risk of foodborne illness , but here in WA we have it at local co-op grocery stores and or pickup at a local reputable dairy. We have never gotten any illness from it over a year later and it tastes exactly like normal cow milk.)
