I am once again asking these questions on behalf of my boyfriend, who has lupus sle.
Does anyone know of a good webside or publication (book, brochure, etc..) that is informative about what to eat and not eat with lupus? I have obtained some low salt cookbooks and a cookbook called the renal gourmet for good tips on how to cook with kidney disease. I have not found anything specific for lupus. I know you are to stay away from sprouts and too much protein, salt and fat, but that is about all I have found! If anyone could help me out, that would be wonderful!
Also, anytime I look up suppliments that would be good to take for lupus, I always see dhea at the top of the list. When I asked the rheumy about it, he said he did not want him taking it, but did ok the omega 3 fish oils. Is anyone taking dhea and has is worked for them? I am trying to understand why it is supposed to be so good to take, and why the rheumy said not to. I would never have him taking anything that was not ok'd by the doctor.
Thanks again!!
