How can I gain weight with psoriasis and food intolerance?

Question

Hello doctor,

I am struggling to gain weight due to my psoriasis and intolerances to oats, gluten, potatoes, and starches, which exacerbate my condition. Citric fruits and spices also worsen my symptoms. Despite following a gluten-free diet of brown rice and chicken, I am still unable to put on weight. I feel lost and unsure of what else I can eat to build muscle.

Kindly help.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.

I understand that you may be facing challenges related to weight management, particularly considering your psoriasis condition. To tailor appropriate dietary suggestions, it would be helpful to know your height and weight or calculate your BMI (body mass index). This information is crucial for determining the most suitable muscle-building foods and crafting a personalized plan to enhance muscle synthesis. Once you provide these details, I can offer a comprehensive chart and devise a customized strategy to support your muscle gain journey. Please provide accurate height and weight measurements so we can accurately calculate your metabolic rate and BMI.

I hope this information helps.

Thank you.
