No.

Gluten, dairy, too many carbs.

Not "bad" genetics, just genes that have been modified by the wrong diet - a diet far away from what humans evolved to eat.
Ulcerative colitis and psoriasis can be improved dramatically - to the point that it is as if you never had them - with the correct diet over a period of time. You didn't get this way overnight, and it won't be cleared up overnight. It can take two or three years.
The good news is you can have rapid improvement of many symptoms within a couple of weeks, and gradual improvement following that continues until you return to optimal health. Or at least a state of management of symptoms.

Not likely.

They may be incurable because you were born with genes that make you sensitive to gluten, dairy and insulin, but certainly managable.

Thank you for answer,
What do you mean by ''diet far away from what humans evolved to eat''?
I was born with psoriasis, and got ulc.colitis few years ago after using some antibiotics - first getting c.diff and eventually colitis.
I've always been an athlete, playing sports every day, not eating junk food at all, but a lot of meat and vegetables, so I didn't see food much as a problem, except I was always lactose intolerant.
Being a young girl in early 20's, my condition has got me not leaving my house anymore...depressed all the time about how am going to live my life like this, seriously thinking every day to end my life.
So, am gonna read what you suggested me and try, but since I've been so obsessed to cure myself...i don't know, maybe ending it isn't such a bad idea...It could be a lesson for me.
And please sorry for my english, am trying.

If you read those threads in here in the Diet and Health board, and get the books which go into more detail, you will find that a high-carbohydrate diet is something that we have only been eating for the last 10,000 years or so, out of the many million years our species has been around.
What we need, and what will help your conditions, is animal (saturated) fats and fatty meat, with only low-carbohydrate veggies. All of our organs need animal fats. That is what we ate, and how our systems learned to function on. Vegetable oils, margarine, soy, sugar, honey, maple syrup, coffee, grains of any kind, dairy - they are all bad for us. And that is just a short list.
It's best if you read through the Life Without Bread thread, especially - the whole thread. :)

The diet of the mother can epigenetically modify the genetic expression of the child. Also, the food the mother eats can cause conditions in a newborn child. The child then continues with the same wrong diet, and voila! Ruined health.

Vegetables can be a problem for many, many people. My son nearly lost his colon at the age of 25 from eating vegetables. He is now on a "nothing but meat" diet.
aelyrsenn said:
My son was the same way. We discussed his situation in one of the session threads... January, I think. He really nearly died. And he had skin problems for years too. But, in 8 months on nothing but meat (he had to do supplements to heal his colon, he feels better than he's ever felt in his life. And his skin has cleared up completely.

No, "ending it" is NOT a good idea. You can start right now by starting to read the labels on everything you eat and if it has any gluten containing ingredients, dairy, corn, vegetable oil, etc. don't eat it. Read the "Life Without Bread" thread here in the forum, and do some experimenting. Others are and many are having amazing results.

Your experience sounds somewhat similar to that of the author of Deep Nutrition, Catherine Shanahan. I wouldn't place this book at the top of the list of books we have been reading here. It is missing some information and contains a number of conclusions that I would certainly disagree with, but you might find a personal connection with the message. It focuses more on "traditional" agricultural-era diet than "paleo" diet but still offers a view of the kinds of food we evolved to eat, and seems to offer good ideas about how to prepare foods that are available today to be more nutritious and safer to eat. You might want to read it after some of the others.
As you suggest, ending your life would cut short your learning opportunities (lessons). There is not much good to say about that option, when you are apparently open to digging deeper and very possibly resolving the problems you are having. I have made the decision to continue on in spite of the problems a number of times in my life, and I haven't regretted it yet.

I know, I just like to have that option when/if things become unbearable...Just need to pull myself together and escape this laziness i got into.
