There is not much real ´conclusive` evidence when it comes to treat psoriasis by diet. There are some clues that some of us may be sensitive for gluten, for others it is nightshades, processed foods, spices, even an imbalance between omega 3 and 6 has been found to cause inflammations.
To go for a diet is really hard. There is very little you can eat and it might take you a year or longer to see results before you can slowly add different types of food to see if they were the culprit.
I have seen results, it is possible, but I would not call it an evidence based treatment, even when you can find some research in pub med (which indeed there are).
I think the thing with a diet is that people seem to have different foods that can trigger psoriasis, making it nearly impossible to prescribe one diet.
