Do any foods cause psoriasis? What can I change in my diet to prevent psoriasis?
Category: Psoriasis
I suffer with psoriasis on my neck. I was wondering, if it can flare up when I eat certain foods? I’ve tried ointments but nothing is working. I couldn’t get a doctor’s appointment until mid-March. What can I do to help myself now?

I didn’t notice myself any difference with my diet but to reduce the itch and scales apply bag balm bought at vet stores or animal shops or use aveeno with colloidal oatmeal

Foods don’t cause psoriasis. Obesity and alcohol intake have been associated with psoriasis but are not causally related. Sometimes exposure to sunlight if possible can have a beneficial effect. If you haven’t already tried it hydrocortisone cream otc 1-2% may help. You doctor will probably start with more potent synthetic steroids when you see him.

Fried foods are a big culprit.
Eat lots of raw fruits and vegetables. Keep the idea in mind to stay as close to the earth as possible (as in fruits and vegetables).
Smoking, alcohol, stress, and normal weather associated with winter months will have adverse effects.
Try to stay away from synthetic materials and harsh soaps.
Supplementing with health food store quality probiotics can work wonders, as well as supplementing with GLA from Evening Primrose Oil (1,000-3,000 mg/day).
Emu oil is wonderful for short term relief (www.desertpalmsemu.com).
Sunlight, sunlight, sunlight! Expose the affected area to as much sunlight as possible and skip the sunblock (don’t stay out so long that you get burned though).

Moisturize your skin often. Eat Omega-3 supplements. Apply Champori anti-psoriasis cream.
