Avoiding sweets completely or almost completely (one tsp of raw honey/day), taking turmeric daily with egg yolks, coconut oil and pepper. Gluten free diet.
popnfreshnz Re: Exercise — Swimming is really good for clearing inflammation, but I find it is just not possible to excercise when my Lupus is flaring so don't feel bad if you just physically can't. Swimming is really easy on the joints as well, and if you have raynouds phenomena it is nice and warm and then promotes circulation when you are resting.
