Qualitative exploration of the experiences and perceptions of diet in psoriasis management among UK adults
Participants rely on social media and online forums for dietary information, which suggest unsubstantiated restrictive diets that could negatively impact health. Participants felt overwhelmed by dietary recommendations and wanted more relevant dietary support. In the absence of evidence-based dietary information for psoriasis, HCPs need to be able to provide basic dietary support and combat misinformation. Larger studies aimed at understanding how best to support people with psoriasis are needed.
