There is more to it though. I tried adding a ink but because I am new the system won't let me. Check PubMed published about how diet affects gene expression, systematic reviews list the best articles as they7 have been screened. There are many articles that aren't of good quality but pressure to publish causes this.
I, too, was wondering how diet helps when Lichen Sclerosis and Planus - for me appears to be genetic, as my grandma, mom, aunt and also suffer like me. I would love to explore this avenue, but totally disrupting my already overwhelmingly complex immune and autoimmune medical history by working on a major dietary change is daunting. I thought I was taking decent care of my diet already, with changes made after a thyroid cancer diagnosis at 21. I have noticed that sugar and feeling hypoglycemic appears to cause quite a few symptoms, but don't know how to begin addressing this. I appreciate your posting making me reconsider making the move to investigate now.
@irinig
you brought up an interesting topic: the effect of diet on genes. I found this very good article about diet and DNA.
