While the treatments outlined in the figure (top left) seem to be helpful to most psoriasis patients, those patients should ask their doctors whether a change in diet could be helpful as well. From the abstract of this paper, we read:
The percentage of patients reporting skin improvement was greatest after reducing alcohol (53.8%), gluten (53.4%), nightshades (52.1%), and after adding fish oil/omega-3 (44.6%), vegetables (42.5%), and oral vitamin D (41%). Specific diets with the most patients reporting a favorable skin response were Pagano (72.2%), vegan (70%), and Paleolithic (68.9%).
The Pagano diet is described here.
