Navigating Southeast Asia with Psoriasis: Your Anti-Inflammatory Dining Guide
Living with psoriasis requires mindful eating to avoid inflammation triggers. For travelers in Southeast Asia—where cuisine features bold spices, sauces, and unfamiliar ingredients—dining out can feel daunting. This guide shows how to savor regional dishes safely while managing your condition.
The Psoriasis-Diet Connection
Psoriasis flare-ups often link to inflammatory foods like gluten, dairy, nightshades (tomatoes, peppers), processed sugars, and additives. Embracing anti-inflammatory choices—omega-3-rich seafood, turmeric, leafy greens, and fresh herbs—can soothe symptoms. Yet Southeast Asia’s vibrant street food and restaurant scenes pose challenges:
- Hidden ingredients: Sauces often contain soy (gluten), MSG, or shrimp paste.
- Common triggers: Chili peppers (nightshades), peanuts, and fried foods feature prominently.
- Language barriers: Menus rarely detail allergens or cooking methods.

Southeast Asia Dining Tips
While mm food handles the legwork, these strategies add extra security:
- Prioritize grilled/steamed dishes: Like Vietnamese cha ca (turmeric fish) or Thai plaa pao (salt-crusted grilled fish).
- Beware sauces: Request dressings and dips on the side. Swap soy sauce for tamari (gluten-free).
- Embrace healing staples: Opt for ginger-infused broths, papaya salads (hold the chilies), and coconut-based curries.
