Do certain foods trigger bullous pemphigoid?
Healthcare providers and medical researchers aren’t sure if diet affects bullous pemphigoid. Some people have reported their bullous pemphigoid improved or went away after eliminating certain foods from their diet. However, there’s currently no good scientific evidence to support that certain foods trigger bullous pemphigoid.
If you have bullous pemphigoid, talk to your healthcare provider about any potential benefits of eliminating certain foods or drinks from your diet. They may recommend keeping track of what you eat and drink in a food journal. If you notice your bullous pemphigoid flares up after eating certain foods, gradually eliminate them from your diet to see if your symptoms improve.
