Is it IBD?

Hi . Your concerns are understandable and it is good that you are seeking out a place you can get information and support. I do need to stress that we are not medical professionals and, for your protection, cannot provide medical advice over the internet. I can tell you that autoimmune conditions tend to piggyback on each other, so the fact that you have psoriasis does mean you are more susceptible to other autoimmune conditions. I also know that those with psoriasis do tend to have high levels of uric acid (see: https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/psoriasis-and-gout#:~:text=People%20with%20psoriasis%20tend%20to,the%20result%20of%20chronic%20inflammation.). How long is it until your GI appointment? Considering the pain issues, you may want to see if the doctor has a cancellation list you can get on that may move your appointment up. Also, in preparation for your appointment, I want to share with you this article from our editorial team that discusses the diagnostic process: https://inflammatoryboweldisease.net/diagnosis. I also want to not for you that we have a sister-site for psoriasis at https://plaquepsoriasis.com/. Please feel free, if you like, to keep us posted on how you are doing - this community is here for you. Best, Richard (Team Member)
