I would try onion powder for sure
September 27
I have had Lupus for 20 years. I have noticed that onion upsets my stomach with the bathroom problem. I am trying not to have fresh onion on a burger & even cooked chopped onion in foods. Sad about it, because I use to eat onion soup and sauces.
Do you think that It's ok to use onion powder. Is it the onion or Lupus that is causing inflammation?

This is me with my latest food trigger.. pickled onion monster munch(Uk crisps) This is my biggest reaction. I'd say it doesn't hurt and my throat/airways seem clear. I've taken an antihistamine but will see if gone down more in morning as to taking medical advice.

One MyLupusTeam member shared, "I wanted to cheat on my lupus diet and ate two slices of pizza. I woke up to lots of pain." Another noted, "Everyone can have different food triggers." The best way to pinpoint personal triggers is to keep a food journal. Log what you eat, when you eat it, and how you feel afterward — including any symptom changes the next day.
One MyLupusTeam member put it perfectly: "With lupus, you have to become a scientist. Test foods and keep a journal of the effects."
It's always a good idea to work with a doctor or registered dietitian before making big dietary changes, as cutting out entire food groups can lead to missing important nutrients.
