Psoriasis Treatment and Diet: Foods to Eat and Avoid

Is there such thing as psoriasis diet? Can reducing the symptoms of psoriasis be as simple as changing the foods we eat? Let’s find out the answer to these questions by checking which foods to eat and avoid if you have psoriasis.

While there’s no cure for psoriasis, there is some solid evidence that what you eat can often help improve the condition. The research published in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology found that eating a more balanced diet can improve gut health and decrease skin inflammation. So when you eat foods that are rich in sugar and fat, it creates an imbalance in the gut microbiome and makes inflammatory skin conditions worse. But when you switch to a healthy, balanced diet, it helps restore the gut’s health and reduces inflammation.

What foods should you avoid with psoriasis?

#1 food to avoid is dairy. Many dairy products are high in fat, which can lead to inflammation. One survey reported that one of the most common food triggers participants chose to remove from their diets was dairy because that triggered their psoriasis.

#2 foods to avoid are the ones that contain gluten. Gluten is a protein found in some grains like wheat and barley. Loads of people with psoriasis say that reducing gluten in their diet lessens their flare-ups.

#3 foods to avoid are processed foods. Chemically processed foods have little nutritional value and only contain refined ingredients and artificial substances. Such foods are associated with an increased risk of multiple chronic diseases, such as diabetes, heart disease, and autoimmune conditions.

Red meat or fatty protein sources are not as bad as sugar and processed food. I do 16:8 intermittent fasting with a keto diet and my chronic psoriasis as cleared up 80% in a little over a year, i feel amazing. I recommend everyone cut a lot of dairy, gulten, sugar, and processed junk food out of your diet for a few months and see how you feel. I went from constant pain and covered in plaques all over my body to no medicine and no pain and mostly clear skin. I suffered for over 10 years, and my doctor never segusted diet. If this helps anyone share the info, and I'll pray you get through it, no one understands the suffering and shame you feel when psoriasis is bad. God tests those he loves to make you stronger! God bless 🙌 .

5:21 it’s interesting with 2 days fasting because in Islam we were encouraged to fast sunnah every monday and thursday.

At 60 years of age when going through an incredibly stressful time I suddenly broke out with plaque psoriasis. I had to wait six weeks for an appointment with a dermatologist so I used the time to see what i might try in the meanwhile. I came across homeopathic sulphur and since it was cheap, accessible, and everything I read said homeopathy is safe I decided to try it. I took a low potency dose (30C) everyday for a couple of years and the psoriasis immediately began leaving in the reverse order that it had appeared and spread. Except for the very first, original spot. It just wouldn't completely leave. I finally gained enough experience with homeopathy that I realized I needed a higher potency and once I switched and took the higher potency (200C once a week) the last patch cleared up. I now take a higher potency (1M) maintenance dose once a month and remain completely clear ALL THE TIME and have been for years. I never saw the dermatologist, it had stopped getting worse before the appointment so I canceled and continued the sulphur. It was a slow, continuous improvement and took 8-10 months for everything (except the original spot) to heal.
I know different things can work - or not - for different people. I hope this is helpful and may whomever is reading this get the same relief I did.

00:58 🚫 Avoid dairy, as high-fat dairy products can lead to inflammation, triggering psoriasis in some individuals.
02:24 🍔 Processed foods, containing refined ingredients and artificial substances, may increase inflammation and contribute to psoriasis flare-ups.
03:45 🍣 Include fatty fish (salmon, sardines) and healthy oils (olive, coconut) in your diet for anti-inflammatory omega-3s and fatty acids to combat psoriasis.
04:44 ⏲ Research suggests that intermittent fasting, specifically the 5:2 fasting method, can improve psoriasis symptoms, with participants reporting significant skin improvement, less scaling, and decreased itching.
05:10 🍽 Modified intermittent fasting involves restricting caloric intake for 2 days a week, leading to improved skin condition, weight loss, and increased energy for some psoriasis patients.

I had psoriasis for 35 plus years. I was on Humira and then Enbrel for many many years. I did a 26 day fast and stopped using the Enbrel after the first week. It has been over three months now and I have zero psoriasis symptoms! After the fast I went to a very low carbohydrate diet, I do a 18:6 intermittent fast and a two day fast per week. I need to lose another 30 lb and once that is done I will drop the two day per week fast and see what happens. I also started supplementing with N-acetyl glucosamine which is supposed to keep the gut healthy. Psoriasis is not a skin disease it is a gut disease that shows up in the skin.

My chronic psoriasis was completely resolved after three months on the carnivore diet. Wish I knew this 20 years

[matthewnicholson]

I don't start eating until noon every day, and it's done more for my health than anything else! I'll never go back

[mikebiggs]

I've had psoriasis for 2 years now and THANK GOD I can say for now I noticed only alcohol consumption and acidic food triggers mine. I love spicy food. I've been avoiding drinking alcohol for 2-3 months and my skin clears up completely with treatment and as I start to drink alcoholic beverages it comes back within a few weeks. So now I will completely avoiding the alcohol beverages.

@2:09, the #2 item to avoid is listed on the on-screen graphic as "glutten." Not to be confused with one of the seven deadly sins (glutton), gluten has only one T. Anytime there is a video that purports to be providing expert advice but misspells the words related to the topic, you should be cautious and careful.

[vijaykumarpalve]

You are suggesting wrong food.Wheat and tomatoes are not recommended in psoriasis because they are haveing GLUTEIN and tomato is having lentils and alkoloids.

[damnright]

3:29 corn should be avoided along with grains

[wadefryman]

In general a good guidelines but as someone who has suffered from psoriatic arthritis for over 30 years and have greatly improved my health in the last 2 I have made some additional adjustments, give up all wheat and corn, they are so full of pesticide and herbicides they can not be good, also give up nightshade, black pepper definitely dairy

[lindsay]

Over 25 years ago I had eczema and psoriasis. I started Food Combining for health (don't mix foods that fight) First thing to go was added sugar, fizzy drinks, colas, sweets and other added sugar. About 6 yrs ago i ate blue cheese and wheat croutons at a meal and it triggered roseacea on my face. Horrendous, and working on a hospital ward people are looking and wondering how you got it. It took me nearly a month for it to clear up completely. I ate mostly green vegetables, avocados, cut out gluten and dairy and it was gone.

[Graciela]

I heard on a different video to avoid also seeds and grains, like rice, quinoa and especially corn, but what to eat instead of bread and corn ?tortillas?

[vladrod]

Thnx for the video info. But basically everyone in the USA that has psoriasis is screwed. Because that's basically 90% of the foods in this country.

[amanda-clairebennett]

Thank you for this upload, it was very informative and concise. From Perth WA

[lauraishere]

I think everyone is different but i do agree that dairy is a major culprit in flare ups for any skin conditions

[AvageeEspinosa]

The struggle is real since I have both respiratory and skin asthma it’s genetics and the weather like now it’s gloomy I need sun but it was triggered when I eat pork but more practice eating pork to immune my body system. Thanks for sharing! 🌈😂

It totally depends on person to person. Some people get it from dairy, some from gluten, some from red meat etc. It depends on the place you've been living at and the gut microbiome you've developed. I've cleared almost 80-90% of a big flare up by a vegetarian diet which includes millets, legumes, lentils, soya, fruits and some superfoods. Cashews, eggs, okra and cacao are some of the healthy foods which cause a flare up. These may not cause the flare up for others. You'll have to study your body. There's so much to it. One really needs a lot of guidance for treating it fully.

Cure for psoriasis:
1. Wake up with sunrise everyday and go outside for 15 minutes
2. Get midday sunlight when UV is highest for 15 - 30 minutes. Bare feet on the grass everytime you go outside.
3. After sun goes down, avoid artificial light like the plague. This is key. Wear red lens glasses to block blue light
4. On diet, adopt a ketogenic diet. Prioritize animal foods (especially seafood) and low starch vegetables. If further restriction is needed on diet, short term carnivore is beneficial. Since immune compromised, I would avoid eggs (especially egg whites), and all forms of dairy for first 30 days as these could trigger immunologic reaction
5. Supplements to consider: NAC, high dose magnesium, high dose thiamine
