Lupus diet. Is there a diet which improves the quality of life of people with Lupus?

I think a healthy balanced low fat diet with lots of raw foods, fruits, vegetables, whole grains and good spices (turmeric) helps lupus patients. There are certain foods which are supposed to be helpful to anyone suffering from an inflammatory disease such as blueberries, fish high in omega 3s, dark leafy greens and yogurt. I believe lupus patients should avoid alphalfa sprouts, garlic, nightshade vegetables, salt & alcohol.

Avoiding foods that strenghten the auto-immune system (like alfalfa spouts) is advised..otherwise a healthy diet is recommended

I do not believe diet affects the disease one way or another

Avoid red meat, it exasperates influmation.

There is no specific diet to improve symptoms. Eating healthy and nutritiously may help the person’s individual health which in turn may help to make lupus symptoms bearable.

I do believe that a certain way of eating can change how the disease effects us.Such as eating processed foods and sugary foods can send someone into a flare up. Foods such as juicing, high protein and low fat foods are good for our body.

There are many diets that would aide in a lupus diagnosis. One of the first ones suggested is the anti inflammatory diet. Other diets should be discussed with your physician, and/or dietician.

There is no one-size-fits-all diet for lupus, but some individuals find relief from symptoms by following an anti-inflammatory diet. This typically includes eating plenty of fruits and vegetables and incorporating omega-3 fatty acids from sources like fish or flaxseed. Reducing processed foods, sugar, and saturated fats.Staying hydrated.Moderating alcohol consumption and monitoring for specific food triggers that may worsen symptoms.

Follow a healthy diet can be beneficial for people with lupus. If you do not have a lupus aggressive and no organ affected a mediterranean diet may be sufficient. If you have any intolerance to eliminate them can improve. The most frequent may be the intolerance to lactose or gluten. If there is kidney involvement there that control a lot of the consumption of protein. There are people with lupus that say they improve a lot with the diet paleolithic or diet without gluten or dairy.

Will depend on the condition of the patient and that nutritional requirements are specific. That is to say: if you need little sodium, lots of protein, more potassium, etc Only your doctor can determine this.

Yes. Natural foods and with power anti-inflammatory medicines are ideas to help in the treatment. Processed foods, cured meats, sugar, alcohol, should be banned from power.
