Can a vegan diet cause lupus patient to go into remission?

Brief Answer:
Vegan diet is protective
Detailed Answer:
Hello Mam
I can certainly understand your concern.
The scientific evidence on the role of diet in autoimmune diseases such as lupus is just becoming available.
Plant-based diet is helpful in promoting overall health and decreasing the chemicals that cause inflammation.
I advise ba plant-based diet along with a very low-fat diet.
I think that exercise and healthy diet are extremely important for everyone, but more so for those with autoimmune diseases.
Post your further questions if any.
Thank you.
