Self-Help Program Combining Education and Self-Compassion for People with Psoriasis Autoimmune diseases, Ketogenic and Very-Low Carbohydrate Diets: Research Survey

A research team from the University of Nottingham are conducting a survey on people who have an autoimmune disease and have tried a ketogenic, carnivore or other very-low carb diet. To be eligible to take part in this survey you should be 18 years or above, diagnosed with an autoimmune condition (including psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis), and have tried a ketogenic or very-low carbohydrate diet. The survey takes 10 minutes, and you only need to take it once.

HPOS trial to identify who might develop psoriatic arthritis 

Participants, who are over 18 years of age and diagnosed with psoriasis, but not with psoriatic arthritis, will be asked to complete an online questionnaire every 6 months. 

Over a period of 3 years, the responses will be monitored and from the results the researchers will be able to identify which patients will go on to develop arthritis. The long-term aim is to try to prevent the development of arthritis before it occurs.
