Hi Guys,

I have noticed that I tend to be getting flare ups at random these last few months of stomach upset, nausea, low-grade fevers, fatigue (bad), sweating, chills, a general feeling of being sick. I have it right now. They generally kick my butt for a couple days then die down. Today I have a new symptom. I have a light red butterfly rash on my face, that I can see through my makeup. I also recently was having weird stomach pain, the docs found that I have a tumor on my liver.

Should I ask for a lupus test? Would that make sense? It seems like I should rule it out at least....I am so sick of being sick. I am sure most of you understand.

Thanks for the support! *hugs*

Oh Salax, I'm so sorry to hear about all of this :( Yeah, I think it would be a good idea to be tested for Lupus under the circumstances. I know 2 people with it, and it affects them both a bit differently.

Hugs to you, and let us know :)

Gosh yes ask for the test. If you can swing it get yourself into the doctor so they can see that rash. If you have to wait take a picture as the rash can come and go to some extent as the disease flares and then resolves. I have many of the same problems going on now, except without the tummy problems and with severe joint and muscle pain. I have a lab slip for testing that I was given today. I am actually hoping they figure it out as I am so sick of swelling and hurting every durn spring and summer.

      Burning sensation when I wake up

      Thanks! I am currently trying B1 out on its own. I tried many brands of B-complex and they always make me feel nauseous and tired. I think I may have to try taking each B vitamin on its own.

      Are you supplementing any vitamins?  Recently added medications? the ones that helped me the most noticibly was increasing vitamin D blood level to 80 ng/ml and Iodine to 500 mcg once or twice a day, Thiamine, Choline, and Iodine, B6 speeds up gastric motility, gastric motility, which is the movement of food through the stomach, is primarily achieved through peristalsis. Moving food faster helps bloating. 10,000 IU vitamin D 500 mg Thiamine or more Choline  brain fog, fat digestion.  Since the recommended reduction in red meat and eggs, experts estimate that only 10% of the population eats the minimum RDA., 500 mg.  Choline is a large percentage of bile.  Many Celiacs are first diagnosed as Gall Bladder surgery candidates.  It works for a while, fut the the symptoms come back. Iodine – 600 to 1200 mcg of Liquid Iodine Vitamin B2 helps break down proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. It plays a vital role in maintaining the body's energy supply.  500 mg Pantothenic Acid vitamin B5 Low fat yogurt.  My favorite brand is Stonyfield.  Pasture fed means an omega 6:3 ratio of 1:1.  Comercial dairies feed grains and have omega 6:3 ratio  of 5:1.  Omega 3 is healing, omega 6 is inflammatory. No fat yogurts, including greek style has various gums added to replicate the fatty mouth feel, and these gums like guar gum can have several side effects, especially if low vitamin B6 causes poor gastric emptying. Omega-3 and Omega-6 Fatty Acids in Vegetables  Eating more of the vegetables low in omega six and high omega 3 can reduce inflammation. The American diet is fortified.  Gluten free foods are not.

      Flour 1to1 Mixes never ending lol

      This was one I tried w/o issues using gluten-free flour. It gets confusing the 121 cup for cup. Especially the price of it. But I love using the make your own mixes of gluten-free flours potato starch such as this to make it go further https://theloopywhisk.com/2021/09/23/homemade-gluten-free-flour-blend/ Heres a recipe stating 1:1 https://chefalina.com/gluten-free-anisette-toast-cookies/ I want to try these cookies which I miss since going gluten-free as well as the good Italian Holiday cookies I will be missing. I have found good sandwich bread at Whole Foods called 365 which is under $4 for a regular loaf you won't realize its gluten-free or the Promise bread brand. Making your own sandwich bread seems like a bunch that break apart etc. Eventually I will have to try one.
