Hello from Northern California. My vitiligo is fading on my back. I am thankful! Has anyone experienced fading? I totally changed my diet, cut out all sugar, soda, coffee, and caffinated tea. I try to eat vegetables for at least two meals a day. I also eat plain oatmeal every morning.
Has anyone experienced discomfort with their vitiligo? I occasionally have discomfort. No itching just mild pain. The email sites don't mention pain. Is there anyone else that has discomfort----physical pain?

well done that is great news. I am interested to know if you take cows milk or other milk with your oatmeal.
It is interesting to note the nutrient profile of oatmeal, perhaps the vitamins B and E are assisting with repigmentation. I have noticed some regimentation lately since I added almond milk to my diet which is high in Vit E. Also i got big batches of vitiligo when I started gluten free diet. Many people say it helps repig to be gluten free but for me is opposite, can only think it's because wheat has vitamin B and E.
oatmeal gives me such a belly ache tho! I don't really have pain with vitiligo but do sometimes notice a 'pressure' feeling if that makes sense??

Where are the patches?
Near the joints?
There is a link between arthritis (joint inflammation) and vitiligo.
That's the only discomfort that I've heard regarding vitiligo.
