Sometimes what we eat and certain things we do can trigger a flare. Do you know what triggers flares in your body?

I can’t even handle the smell of garlic anymore and I’m Sicilian . I follow a diet that dr gave me but I still swell and get crazy flares!

Lupus has made my intestines very sensitive to certain foods. One is sugar. I have been really good, but my husband took me out for breakfast the other day and I ordered a waffle to beef up my weight as I am 100 lbs. I put syrup on it and it took about 3 hours before it all ran out of me. I knew I was asking for trouble but wanted to see if just once wouldn't hurt. It did! I am on 20B live probiotics to keep my stomach digesting what I eat vs. ending up in the toilet in liquid form. Spices are the other no-no for me. Garlic especially.

I'm still figuring out my triggers. One is the weather. A front is a nightmare. The other is tomatoes. It's the seeds and skin that get me. I grew all these wonderful San Marzano tomatoes this past summer and was in horrific pain. Learned my lesson. Nightshade family is the problem.
