Yes it helps- been dairy free about a year and if I cheat I feel it. As long as I stay away from the worst foods that cause inflammation I have very little joint pain and no itchy skin. Gluten and sugar have been the biggies!

Thank you for your response. I think you’re right...It’s just awful accepting that I have to take medication that makes me feel ill for rest of my life. I know there are far worse conditions to have but still, guess I’m in denial. I will try to get an appointment with my doctor to see if they can adjust what I take. Thanks again for your thoughts.

Quitting your medication cold turkey is super scary and you may regret this choice greatly as it can cause a really, REALLY nasty flare (psoriasis does not take kindly to the immune system being taken down a notch, it tends to flare very badly when the immune system gets back up to strength - this is seen often with quitting prednisone and even for about 30% of us after pregnancy)

To my knowledge: anti-inflammatory diets help some but overall is not backed by science in any respects. It might help reduce symptom severity but it's not found to reduce disease activity nor slow disease progression.

I'm not saying it's not a good add-on. It's totally worth trying if you're up to it. But it will not, by any means, replace your prescription medication - the disease will go right back to snacking on your connective tissue.

I'm wishing you the best. If you haven't spoken to your doctor(s) about this, please PLEASE do.
Maybe they can switch your meds around (maybe reduce the MTX dose or try something else) or add on something for the nausea?

I'm so glad it's helping! I read some interesting stuff last night on copper and it's link to zinc levels and Psoriasis (theory: our copper levels are too high because our bodies are using up all the zinc trying to take care of the inflammation). The science looked good and it might be part of why these diets work well for some people but not others (perhaps we're not all targeting the right culprits depending on what diet we're trying). A lot of the foods that are high in copper are avoided in FODMAP (dairy for example).

I thought I'd relay because it might be helpful for others to look into.

I am referring to the anti- inflammatory diet!
