Foods That Make Psoriasis Worse
-
Psoriasis and Red Meat
-
Red meat is believed to aggravate psoriasis. Limit your red meat consumption to once per week or less.
Psoriasis and Dairy
-
Dairy products can aggravate psoriasis in many individuals by interfering with digestion and decreasing immune function. Don't consume large amounts of milk, cheese or yogurt.
Avoid Alcohol
-
Individuals who have psoriasis should avoid alcohol since it's believed to make psoriasis worse. Alcohol can also interfere with and lessen the effectiveness of conventional psoriasis treatments.
Kinesthetic Testing
-
Almost any food can aggravate psoriasis if you have poor digestion. Have a chiropractor conduct kinesthetic testing to determine if you have any food sensitivities. The chiropractor will place a specific food on your tongue and test your reflexes. You will exhibit noticeable muscle weakness and decreased weakness if you have a sensitivity to a specific food. Eliminate any foods that are identified as problematic and see if your psoriasis improves.
Prevention/Solution
-
Have a food antibody test done to determine which, if any, foods might be contributing to your psoriasis. Eliminate those foods identified as potential triggers and reintroduce them gradually one at a time. Note any changes in your psoriasis as you gradually reintroduce the foods.
