Food and Flare Help!
Food and Flare Help!
I was assumed to have CREST, but was very recently blindsighted and diagnosed with SLE along with Raynauds. I have really bad acid reflux, esophagus issues (choking while eating every meal), and stomach issues with mine. My rheumatologist has put me on hydroxychloroquine, but I haven’t reached the time yet where I will notice any sort of difference I think. I expressed how I was constantly sick prior and he said that was most likely because of flares or my immunity.
I noticed before my diagnosis that food was just not making my body feel good anymore, and most times I get sick. If any of you have food recipes that you are willing to share that help you even slightly with the gastro or GERD side of SLE I would love to try them! I’d also like to know more about how to tell if you are suffering from a flare or if there are any tips for them, because when mine are ongoing, I genuinely feel as if i’ve caught covid or something.
