Psoriatic arthritis and digestive disorders: Have you noticed a link?

Hello everyone, how are you doing?

Psoriatic arthritis doesn’t just affect joints; it can have body-wide impacts, including on the digestive system. In fact, people with this condition are at a higher risk of developing inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) like Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis. These conditions share similar immune system pathways, which can make managing both even more complex.

Have you experienced digestive issues alongside psoriatic arthritis? How do you manage symptoms like abdominal pain, diarrhea, or changes in bowel habits? Has your treatment for psoriatic arthritis impacted your gut health, for better or worse?
