thats interesting because I have read and seen on vids that strawberries are a no no and also that all citrus fruits are a no. (which is hard to believe in a way lol)
Hmm, I found articles saying strawberries are really good for inflammation. But you are correct in that there are just as many saying to avoid strawberries if you have psoriasis. But let's make it more confusing, I found this on what to eat if you have psoriasis:
Fruits and vegetables
Almost all anti-inflammatory diets include fruits and vegetables. Fruits and vegetables are high in antioxidants, which are compounds that decrease oxidative stress and inflammation. A diet high in fruits and vegetables is recommended for inflammatory conditions such as psoriasis.
Foods to eat include:
broccoli, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts
leafy greens, such as kale, spinach, and arugula
berries, including blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries
cherries, grapes, and other dark fruits
The same article says to avoid nightshades (tomatoes) as they are known to trigger flares.
I'm going to go with we are all different and what triggers for some people are not the same for others. The only way to really know is to slowly stop or start foods until you figure out what works and I personally probably won't do that as I would still not know for instance if I ate tomatoes and then had a flare up whether it was due to the food or stress.
Jim gave you some links to point you in the direction of people who have had success with their dieting and psoriasis. I'm new to changing up my diet and it's more for other reasons. Like you, I'm also still learning.
