Your diet and psoriasis

While little scientific research on psoriasis and diet has taken place historically, the National Psoriasis Foundation hears a number of claims and theories about the effects of particular diets, foods and dietary supplements on psoriasis.
The major problem in discussing the role of diet is that there are so many factors involved.
People with psoriasis are individuals with different backgrounds, habits and medical histories, who respond to substances differently at different times. Moreover, people with psoriasis can have remissions that have nothing to do with changes in diets or treatments. These variables make it difficult to evaluate whether any specific dietary change is responsible for clearing or worsening psoriasis. The addition or elimination of one substance from the diet can be the remedy for one person and the culprit for another. There is certainly no harm in exploring how diet impacts your psoriasis, as long as your overall health is not compromised.
