High protein diet and psoriasis response

Hi, Try reading ‘Healing Psoriasis’ and the ‘Healing Psoriasis Cookbook’ it tells you the ins and out of nutrition and what may cause a flare up and how to prevent said flare up. I’m currently on this strict regime mentioned within the book and I’ve not had a flare up since which is an improvement as in the past I’ve month long flare ups. Hope this helps!

Hi Georgie. I'm a long time gym enthuisuast and psoriasis sufferer. I mainly do muscle building and a high protein diet is a key ingredient... eggs and meat being my main sources along with a balance of carbs, fats, fruit and veg. Last year I decided to do 6 months as vegan to help my psoriasis... strictly no dairy, meat, oil and I even cut wheat out as I felt it was having a negative effect. After 6 months my psoriasis was all but gone.... but I had lost all my size and I was very thin! I looked ill but felt great! I have bulked up with eggs and meat again now and of course my psoriasis has returned with a vengeance! It seems I can't be the size I want to be and psoriasis free. It may be your diet as a whole that's affecting you or it may just be a certain food like eggs.... you could try elimination and see if it helps maybe. Great vegan protein shake to try is Vivo.... all good stuff and tastes great! If you need any further advice I'd be happy to help.

Hiya Georgie, I am in a similar situation. Did you ever change whey protein powder and test? Not sure if I can send you a private message on this site

Hello Georgieb37 I find nuts (both raw and roasted) really make psoriasis worse for me. Peanutbutter is just the absolute worse.......which is a shame, as I also find it delicious. And yes I have to limit my eggs too - cannot have more than four a week. Whey protein powder will also flare me up, as dairy is one of my triggers for a flare. I had to swap over to a vegan pea protein one. In regards to your protein powder. Get one with the least ingredients, as some brands have unnecessary fillers in them like caffeine, wheat and artificial sweeteners (which can also be inflammatory)
