psoriasis is our own body attacking itself, it thinks it Is attacking infection and being helpful to us. When our bodies are indeed being attacked, like in winter, then the psoriasis is also worse. The body is prepared for a big winter fight so it makes the mistake of attacking imaginary things in our skin and sometimes joints.
So a warm climate without flu and colds is good for psoriasis. so is a diet that is easily digestible for the stomach.
My diet is gluten completely free and instead of sweets and candy I now take a little honey - enough to stop me being depressed through lack of sugar.
Lactose in dairy is a no no for me, I cannot digest it, my stomach bubbles and gases and has a really hard time with it. Bad for psoriasis too!
But I need the calcium in dairy - that's why we crave dairy - to get the large amount of calcium we need every day. So I eat low lactose dairy. I must eat dairy or I would run out of calcium.
I also take big doses of vitamin D3 - it's somehow mixed up with skin and joints. we need it and cannot make it ourselves.
I use DOVONEX which is a vitamin D3 cream available only on prescription. It is slow acting but works over time.
All the best!
