Get off ALL DAIRY, except goat's milk products. Get off Gluten- ie: WHEAT. Just greens, berries, veggies, chicken 4 oz serving, and beef 4oz servings, JUICE. Supplement with vitamin E, Beta Carotene, Vit D3, do LOTS OF BONE BROTH, chicken and beef.

I am praying for you.

My interstitial and shrinking lung is turning around rapidly. Do not give up.

I am sorry you are going through this. A big hug from Brooklyn NY.

Hi Casimir , we are happy for you to share your personal experiences in this community, but we do not approve of anybody giving medical advice.

Ginatay4t , I'm really sorry to hear that you are struggling with these symptoms at the moment and I hope that you are on the path to recovery soon. Please always discuss any supplements or extreme changes in diet with your consultant or a registered dietician before trying them so that they can advise you. It is important to remember that lupus is different in everybody and what helps one person could be potentially harmful for somebody else. The recommended diet for lupus is one that is healthy and balanced. We have a booklet about lupus and healthy eating which you can download and view at lupusuk.org.uk/diet-and-exe...

Hi Casimir , medical advice is the provision of an opinion regarding what a specific individual should or should not do to restore or preserve health, so nutrition would certainly be included in this.
