subject: Psoriasis and Diet - Can What You Eat Actually Cause Psoriasis? [print this page] Have you wondered if psoriasis and diet are connected?
Having suffered from psoriasis myself I got to thinking if what I was eating was causing, or at least contributing to, the onset of the disease.
What I discovered was that there are 2 distinct arguments on the topic:
1.) No, psoriasis and diet are not linked
Despite many clinical studies on the subject, non have shown a connection between psoriasis and diet. Most dieticians will give psoriasis sufferers the same advice as anyone else: eat a healthy balanced diet and get some exercise.
2.) Yes, there is a link between psoriasis and diet
For anyone who suffers from psoriasis, there is always a trigger that causes an outbreak. It is argued that this trigger is often in their diet. Psoriasis has been blamed on many different foods such as eggs, sugar, red meat, coffee etc.
So, which argument should you believe?
Well, they are both right in their own way. While no studies have proven a link between psoriasis and diet, it doesn't mean there absolutely isn't one.
Having said that, there are people who will eat all the wrong foods all their lives and never get psoriasis, as well as those who eat all the right foods and are plagued by scaly skin.
If you do notice a certain food tends to cause an outbreak, then you should obviously avoid it. It may not guarantee you never get psoriasis again, because there are usually multiple factors involved in the disease, but you will at least have identified one of your triggers.
