Pm me any time - I am a complete vegetarian - the vegan ism I am still working on. I try not to take medication, unfortunately thanks to chemo or rads (more likely chemo ) I have to have cheese occasionally - I'm highly allergic to the casein in it so it does for me what many laxatives cannot, (sorry if that is too graphic) other than that and the rare egg - I live a pretty vegan lifestyle. I do a lot of organic, avoid white flour products (frankly most bread products), sugar and pretty much all prepared foods. Though I have a passion for some gardien products. having had lupus you are forced to adapt a healthier life style no doubt this puts you in a great situation to fight this. hugs.
