First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study explores whether removing wheat and cow's milk from the diet can reduce inflammation and improve skin symptoms in people with mild-to-moderate psoriasis. 82 participants will follow either a wheat- and dairy-free diet or a control diet for 2 months, then some will be re-exposed to wheat to see if symptoms return. The goal is to understand the link between diet, gut health, and psoriasis.

Active substance

wheat- and dairy-free diet

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a simple dietary change to help manage psoriasis symptoms.
