I would like to see the cited evidence for which diets help combat Psoriasis. It's clinically proven that there's no such thing as a universally healthy diet. Our guts are like a non-deterministic polynomial time hard math problem, unlikely to be solved quickly. The notion that you're making anti-inflammatory claims is a strong one. Mouse models of inflammation are basically worthless. http://www.pnas.org/content/110/... I think bold claims require bold evidence. That being said, there's no such thing as an FDA approved food avoidance(or diet) or a food experimentation therapy, so it's worth trying. All too often qualitative patient feedback is discounted. Edit: I'm eagerly awaiting citations to research papers.

@datarade It is well known that almost all diseases have several etiologies, some of which cannot be altered (such as genetical factors), while others can addressed by modifications of environmental conditions such as fitness and nutrition. In order to help people with conditions such as psoriasis we want to address the modifiable issues, in this case nutritional factors, in order to benefit the health of people. It has been documented in the scientific literature that nutrition plays an important role for many diseases, including psoriasis.

@trovatten as Kumar said, you're making a ton of claims without verification. As my old professor used to say "show me the smoking gun".

Hey, hunters! We are Treat and we’ve made an app to help people with autoimmune conditions such as Psoriasis and Eczema. We would like them to change their eating habits by adopting an anti-inflammatory diet, that may reduce the inflammation that sparks their flare-ups. Our coaches are making it more fun to change eating behavior by giving users challenges, scores, tips and evaluations on their eating.

Looks great guys! I feel like this would be beneficial for people, not just with psoriasis, but a much larger segment of the population. Looking forward to seeing where this goes. Keep it up!

@datarade As our key interest at Treat is to help people with psoriasis, we find a recent study particularly interesting. It shows that the diet of people with psoriasis is high in carbohydrates and this is associated with the clinical severity of the disease and their cardio-metabolic risk, related to diabetes and heart disease. Based on that study it is obvious that improving nutrition will have an effect. On another note - Good luck with your own hunt with Awesome Tables it seems as if we are close!

Def see a use for this for just about anyone -- especially those surrounded by fastfood mega complexes.
