Funnily enough you have another poster [1] saying the exact opposite, that meat makes their symptoms worse, and eating plant foods makes their symptoms go away.

Whenever the carnivore diet comes up as a panacea (which it does, a lot), I wonder if people tried anything else. Did they try reintroducing plant foods to test their hypothesis?

Personally, I bet that it's not the diet itself that helps in most cases, but that the very act of changing one's diet radically alters the gut microbiome. People with autoimmune diseases usually have a dysbiotic gut flora, so it makes sense that a radical change would "reset" it. However, this would suggest that reintroducing foods should work, unless you reintroduce things that bring back the imbalance.

Anecdotally, my psoriasis disappeared after I switched to a strict vegetarian diet. I can't prove it, though, so I don't go on Reddit making unscientific claims I can't back up with evidence.
