(148,475 posts)Psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis and Crohn's disease. In those the immune system is overactive. I cannot find any medical research that demonstrates that the type of diet you recommended offers any benefit for those. There are genetic causes for both disorders.
The new biologic medications actually offer good results in many cases, since they inhibit specific aspects of the immune system which attack normal body tissues in those disorders. While they also have dangerous side effects for some patients, many patients consider the risks to be outweighed by the potential benefits. Diet cannot cure either according to studies, although eliminating some foods can help with Crohn's disease in some cases. However, that is not related to your dietary suggestions.
