Observational studies have demonstrated that people with psoriasis consume a lower amount of foods typically found in a Mediterranean diet (e.g., olive oil, fruits, fish, nuts, and whole grains).[1][2] Research using dietary interventions found that a hypocaloric diet in overweight or obese people with psoriasis or a gluten-free diet in people with a gluten sensitivity shows the most promise for helping reduce symptoms of psoriasis.[3] It is recommended that changes in diet should be used alongside standard medical treatments.[3]
