For those that have been diagnosed with psoriasis they will want to eat a gluten-free diet. Gluten is a substance that is commonly found in foods such as wheat and barley. Foods to avoid are anything that is made with flour in it. There are specialty food stores that sell gluten-free products. Some studies have shown that eating more fruits and vegetables, small amounts of fish and chicken, and olive oil can have positive results in those with psoriasis.

Is Psoriasis dominant or recessive?

I don't really know but i can tell you this fact: my grandma has psoriasis, my grandpa didn't have psoriasis...none of their children had psoriasis but I (a grandchild) have psoriasis and I'm the only grandchild who inherited it...so, i suppose it is recessive. I believe that if both parents have psoriasis then it's a 50/50 probability for their child to have psoriasis... I read in a newspaper that in a small village more than 50% of the people have psoriasis - that's because they married between them, person suffering from psor with person suffering from psor.

What can I do to get the best diet for my psoriasis?

There is a plethora of contradicting information with regards to a diet that will help psoriasis. There have been very few food studies done to suggest any one answer will fit every person. A recent study shows that, similar to sufferers of Celiac Disease, an increased sensitivity to the gliadin in gluten can cause outbreaks. A gluten free diet can give symptom relief to some sufferers. There is no known dietetic cure for psoriasis. If you make a change in your diet, it will need to be a lifetime one or you can expect a return of the symptoms. Doctors and dietitians recommend a process of elimination. Eliminate suspect foods for a period of two weeks or more. Keep an accurate journal. Talk to your physician before starting any diet.

Is there any cure for psoriasis?

There is actually no cure that will work for every psoriasis patient. But, there are multiple remedies that can be tried to improve the state of psoriasis. Diet is important (try reading Pagano Diet and see what fits you), drinking herbal teas (calendula, viola tricoloris), meditating or exercising and maybe the most important of all - have a positive attitude! Last but not least, don't scratch and rip the patches of psoriasis because bleeding and infection can occur and your psoriasis will only get worse. Try for one week not to look at your patches at all (even when you are bathing). Try not to touch them (only when you apply lotion or cream) and you will see improvements. The thing is that when you rip a patch removing the scaly skin, healthy skin is affected and the patch will only get bigger. Try to be busy all day long so that you don't think about psoriasis as much as before.
