Patient's question:
I am 53 years old. Recently, as I have gotten older, I have been experiencing leg pain. I have previously visited the immunology department, but the effect was not significant. I have taken both Chinese and Western medicine, especially when the weather changes, I feel uncomfortable. Can people with systemic lupus erythematosus eat pigeons?Doctor's answer:
SLE patients can eat pigeons. The diet for lupus patients mainly focuses on preventing or avoiding foods that enhance photosensitivity, such as rapeseed, figs, celery, mushrooms, and shiitake mushrooms. There are no specific restrictions on other foods. It is recommended to consult the rheumatology department at a local hospital to develop a specific treatment plan. In daily life, it is important to maintain a positive mood, avoid sun exposure and ultraviolet light, prevent various infections if they occur, and engage in appropriate activities to strengthen the body.
