Lupus Support Group
Lupus is an auto-immune disease in which the immune system cannot distinguish between threats (like viruses and bacteria), and healthy cells and tissue. As a result, the body produces antibodies that inflict cell damage, most commonly targeting joints, skin, kidneys and the nervous system. Join the group and find support for coping with lupus.

I didn't mean to eliminate fruit. I should have clarified by saying refined sugar. I am on a gluten-free diet and eat lots of fruits and vegetables, as well as meat and things such as quinoa, amaranth, and rice. If you need recipes to make the transition, try Pinterest. I have "pinned" more than 2,000 gluten- or grain-free recipes there. Best wishes to you.
