Erosive lichen planus and CLL

[Gizmo60]

Hi I'm new here and newly diagnosed. In searching the cause of my rash and ulcers in mouth and throat we discovered the CLL. I'm watch and wait. I'm currently on prednisone for the ELP but very worried what this will do to the CLL. I'm also diabetic so diet is very low carb no grains since first of the year no sugar no processed foods no spices pretty much limited. Does anyone else have similar issues happening?

The prednisone will not hurt your CLL. You will probably have to take it for different things though out your life time. I myself wouldn’t give up on things in my diet. If your are a severe diabetic yes but if you are not small amounts of spices, grains and sugar won’t hurt. It won’t make your CLL better. Eat right, exercise, and enjoy your family and friends. Anna

Yes I agree..eating differently, I finding the fatigue is less frequent & I have more energy...if I eat simply & cleanly..kind of a keto diet- shake in the morn with strawberrIt’s, peanut butter, yogurt, blueberries, coconut oil (teaspoon) organic frozen spinach, peaches or pineapple, vegan protein powder, dash of cinnamon curcumin & unsweetened coconut milk w ice— then coffe or tea..not hungry for at least 4-6 hrs...& avocados are your friends.& I’ve always believed that the 75-80% diet rule is correct- you think, & eat, in terms of 75-80% of a meal - you’d make & eat that munch...

in sum, less carbs, more fat, clean (organic, grass fed etc.) protein...& if u got a farmers market near you use it.. Rob S
