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.
