Thank you for this information about what you’ve discovered between the diet and GvHD! I really couldn’t correlate anything either from my diet. I try to do everything right. Though if I do cheat and have some Sun Chips, I find the salt irritates my tongue which never happened before.
But the other GvHD issues are so capricious, they’re obviously left to the whims of our new immune systems.
In a previous post you mentioned recently having scleroderma which is new for you. Do you mind sharing where this is occurring? Does it have anything to do with sun exposure?

I’m 2 weeks from being totally off Tacro and then my other meds so I’m concerned that I’ve been protected from some GvHD issues that might arise now that I’m going to be off. I’m always cautious in the sun but am curious as to skin issues and how they begin.

My skin GVHD flaired up after my first Covid vaccination in January. I don’t think it’s related to sun exposure in my case, since I am rarely outside in the sun, even though I live in Arizona. I have scleroderma on my stomach, legs and arms. Hoping to start on Jakafi in two weeks. I understand that medication works well for skin GVHD most of the time. If that doesn’t work, my doctor will put me on Rezurock.
