I eat well. Sugar and fast food definitely fuel flares for me. Changing my diet hasn't cured me. I did notice that once my body got used to healthy food, it acted out more severely when I ate unhealthy.

I was just going to ask this question. So glad you did! These are the things I tried: paleo diet gluten free, no processed food, no simple sugars, no dairy and no meat except lean chicken. Then I stopped eating meat all together. Gave up on eggs too. I was trying to see what would help when, so was playing with things over time. Maybe I felt better at times but nothing drastic. I ran out of things to eat. It came down to some fruit and salads and wild tuna. I was weak and my red blood cells went down. I went to naturopath and he wanted $7,000 to treat me with some hocus pocus stuff. No thanks! Some online programs ask just as much claiming they can "turn around" any autoimmune illness including lupus. No thanks. I am wondering if anyone was able to go into remission or really help themselves with diet and how did they do it?

I just watched a few videos on "Goodbye Lupus" by Dr Brooke Goldner. Plant based diet with lots of smoothies. She suffered from lupus since 14 yo. Developed stage 4 kidney failure, had stroke in medical school, was told she should not have children and was very sick. She reversed her lupus, healed her kidneys, had 2 children, and remaines in remission for many years because of this diet she created. I am willing to give this a try. Most of what I saw from her is free and easy to try.

I went to a full Keto diet. I found that it helps reduce inflammation which is my biggest problem. Mostly in my joints. When I go back to eating carbs for a period of time it brings on a flare leaving me struggling to even walk. Can’t say it would help everyone but for me it helps me reduce the amount of prednisone I have to take.

I've been a vegetarian before I was diagnosed with lupus... but I gave up on white food cause they cause inflammation like white rice,bread .. potatoes, my cardiologist help me out when it comes down to nutrition
