I had asthma as a child and was finally properly diagnosed with celiac disease five years ago, after a lifetime of problems.  You mention fish oil, but with psoriasis I hope you are also mega-dosing with the B vitamins. Under stress I take 5000% of the daily requirement of B5 and B6 especially. The part of the intestine that absorbs the B's is the part most likely damaged by celiac. Also, beware of xanthum gum. As another super sensitive I can tell you it can be highly allergenic.  thanks again for the great inquiry.<br/><br/>

I have recently found a B-complex that I tolerate well (Solgar B50) - around 2500%.  I will watch xanthan gum.  I know I don't tolerate tapioca, which is in a ton of gluten free products.<br/><br/>

Since writing this article, I have recently changed my regime and now add about 1tsp of Nordic Arctic brand of fish oil to half a tablespoon of Hemp oil.  Since it's a food, though, I will increase the fish oil according to need or how I feel I'm responding to it, so I can't give you an exact amount.  I also have noticed with psoriasis that I have to really limit refined gluten-free carbs.  I hope this answers your question.<br/><br/>

In the United States, it affects 2 to 2.6 percent of the population, or between 5.8 and 7.5 million people. Commonly affected areas include the scalp, elbows, knees, arms, stomach and back. Psoriasis is autoimmune in origin, and is not contagious. Around a quarter of people with psoriasis also suffer from psoriatic arthritis, which is similar to rheumatoid arthritis in its effects. Psoriasis was first given that name in complete differentiation from other skin conditions by the Austrian dermatologist Ferdinand von Habra in 1841, although there are what are believed to be descriptions of the disease in sources going back to ancient Roman and possibly even biblical times.<br/><br/>

After my last flare up (caused by Phototherapy) I did some diet research and found a Psoriasis diet that was gluten free wheat free and night shade free. I started late March this year and had my skin totally clear by late June.
It seems chloramine might also play a part in causing flare ups and since most water systems use chloramine.I've also only been drinking spring water.To me dr.s really should be looking into hypersensitivity of the gut/liver in a main role in causing  Psoriasis.My main guidelines to keeping things under control are 1/Keep the alkaline foods to a minimum (NIGHTSHADE foods)
2/Eat gluten-free wheat-free foods
3/drink spring water 
4/cut refined sugars  to a minimum
5/exercise daily and get good amount of sleep
Sorry for going on and on but If I can add anything to this situation which will help someone out there I'll be happy.<br/><br/>

What I was told at the pediatrician's office was less than what I found on-line and what I read there did not include anything on nightshades and chloramine. I will look into that.  Thanks.  Unfortunately, psoriasis hit after she'd been gluten free for nearly 3 years.

...and to Jennifer--Thank you for this article.  Helps me understand the mechanism for 5yr old/eczema-laden son's elevated risk for asthma (I pray it doesn't hit him!)<br/><br/>

I acquired (for lack of better terms) psoriasis at the age of 8 and have dealt with creams, injections, biologics, you name it. About two years ago I cleared my skin without any drugs, but i don't know how I did it. I was exercising, taking evening primrose oil & fish oils, eating healthier, but mainly I was gluten free. I went off of my gluten free diet when I got onto a new medication. I am now back to being gluten free but am tempted to get off of the cyclosporin and attempt my GF diet again. Point in case, I also believe there to be some connection between digestion & allergies to psoriasis; this article just opened by eyes to the third piece of the puzzle, my adolescent asthma.<br/><br/>
