Hey all
Been dealing with psoriasis now for over 10 years, always trying new things, products, diets etc to try to find something that would alter my condition.
At the beginning of this year I started a (not due to psoriasis) low fat diet, which indirectly led me to go full vegan. I kept this up for about 1½-2 months and to my surprise this actually affected my rashes. It took a while for it to be noticeable, but today about 80-90% of all my rashes are gone and it has been pretty bad.
I have noticed that for example, a week or so ago I eat crackers several days in a row that contained milk powder and butter. Not in any large quantities at all, but this was apparently enough to flare up. Initially, when I first started the low fat diet I though it was the fat that was the issue, but after eating cod that only has 1% fat it I am sure it is animal protein that is the problem. Be it eggs, milk, butter, meat or fish, I seem to react the same to them all.
I know that not all psoriasis are the same, but if you are looking for an alternative way to handle your psoriasis and you have not tried this, perhaps going full/strict vegan for a couple of months would be worth giving a shot.
Cheers!
