Hi Atul,
Yes, citrus juice is very acidic... but you can eat lemons, limes and grapefruit.. as these fruits turn into alkaline in your body.. acidic foods tend to cause psoriasis flare-ups... Sugar is also very acidic..
I was drinking maybe up to two litres a day for a while but as part of my I allow myself no more than 300ml a day now, the equivalent of two of my five a day, and it's usually apple juice, so I can avoid citrus for a bit, see if it helps.

On my elimination diet I was expecting citrus to maybe be an issue but it isn't! Not for me
