I will suddenly get food intolerances to food or medication. I have had to stop taking medication for Arthritis even though I have been on it for years.

Hi there, I have intolerances to Gluten, Dairy and Caffeine. Though I've only been tested for Gluten.

For years I had bad stomach problems, with lots of nausea and sickness, and found it hard to keep any weight on. When I stopped these foods my stomach never felt better and I put weight on. I also added a few foods that had anti bacterial, viral and fungal properties like coconut oil, apple cider vinegar, garlic and sea salt and drank lots of water.

I am still looking at my diet being more healthy. I rarely eat sweets anymore and don't eat a lot of meat. I also try and do some juicing every day.

Different things work for different people. I seen a YouTube video once where a woman with a rare immune disorder...can't remember what it was called now....got cured by a Vegan diet. Also I have heard of being being cured by a raw food diet.

I also take vitamin d3 supplements and they seem to help with aches and pains and depression.

All the best. I hope you find some things that help.

Hi there, I was struggling with food intolerance years before my SLE diagnosis. I am intolerant to wheat and dairy plus allergic to eggs and caffeine. I am 2 months into following a Vegan diet and have given up alcohol - BORING! I'm hoping for a big health improvement soon, that or a large glass of wine

I'm convinced I do I have microscopic colitis now so going to try gluten free to see if it helps. My stomach is so bloated & uncomfortable all the time. Just hate this feeling anything to feel better !

I am trying to go Gluten Free. Not easy. I love sweet rolls with cinnamon sugar. Just made a batch...Oops! Not only is gluten free food expensive, but hard to swallow. I don't like rice flour, but I am trying. I like my sweets as you can surmise, and made gluten free chocolate chip cookies yesterday. It came all prepared in a box already and I added apple sauce instead of butter. They are not bad. But gluten free bread is very flaky, and I don't like it much. I also tried gluten free bread crumbs in my meatballs and it tastes funny too. I have not tried gluten free pasta yet. I have it in my cupboard, but have not tried it. My intestinal problems do not like all the beans in these gluten free meals either. I am definitely having a hard time with the change in diet. I try to eat a lot of veggies and some fruit. And at times still feel nauseous here and there. We can only do our best.... Good luck!

Strangely I have a severe intolerance to oils and butters, including olive oil. I have a pretty severe inflammatory response to oil but have never seen anyone else with this. Anyone else on this forum have this issue?

I have been diagnosed with Coeliac disease as well as lupus, so cannot have gluten.

I used to love eating bread but now it makes me feel full and bloated. (S's shh! I'm not supposed to eat them) !! But donuts have same effect

I've been diagnosed with lupus for about 7 years & coeliac (also auto immune- not just food intolerance) for about 4 years xx
