Need PsA and Ps help

[Caroline]

Diet can be very confusing.  Caroline mentioned nuts as a no no for her, and a dietician just told me to eat more nuts as a healthy fat and also to help with inflammation. 

But I totally agree Kat !!
Eating nuts is very good.

BUT…. No Peanuts or nuts baked in peanut-oil. ..

Al normal nuts, walnuts, almonds, hazelnuts, all non-processed nuts are really great. I do eat them almost every day.. 

But peanuts are good for you.  Good for your heart, reducing inflammation, and a good source of fiber.  Peanut oil...not good for you.  Peanut butter has a lot of protein and a lot of calories.  You have to watch out on the additives when it comes to peanut butter.  The preferred ingredients would be one with only peanuts and salt or only peanuts.  Cooked peanuts? depends on who you ask.  Boiled peanuts have nearly four times more antioxidant isoflavones than the other kinds of peanuts which can reduce cancer, diabetes and heart disease risks. 

I live in Georgia which (and I quote) "is the number-one peanut-producing state in the country, accounting for approximately 49 percent of the crop’s national acreage and production"  So I have to offer a little bit of defense to peanuts.    However, I don't grow them, make any money off them nor consider them one of my favorite food sources so really... I have no need to defend them. 

Just pointing out how confusing it is when it comes to diet and what one person says vs another.  You say no peanuts and my  dietician advised me to eat them.  It's confusing to me as I respect both of you.  But I also just don't have time to research every single thing I eat.  And even then you can usually find some people who say one thing and other people saying something different. 

And same with treatments.  It makes sense as people tend to push what has worked well for them either in diet or treatment and it's also natural to not give good reviews on things that didn't work for them or that they had a reaction to.  It's amazing to me at how our bodies can react differently to things!

Okay. I see your point.
And yes, peanuts are healthy, lots of young dutch grow up with peanut butter, we even have hilarious advertisements in favor of them.

So. Yes… but not if you have psoriasis, as peanuts are normally baked and enhance the forming of pyruvic acid which is an important cause of Psoriatic Arthritis.
I only heard this from the doctor who has been treating thousands of Psoriasis patients and this diet advice is already around here in NL yet forty years old.

Still it can happen that it would not affect you, but it is the result of years of practical feedback from psoriasis patients.
