Chris’s Creative Juices
If you've read Chris's story on our Lupus NewsLog Thrivers page, you know she believes in feeding her wolf into submission. Chris has been coping with her lupus through good nutrition for years and she's very happy with the results.

Years ago, Chris decided she wouldn't let lupus ruin her appetite for life. She studied the nutritional techniques of accomplished foodies, experimented in her own kitchen and invented or adapted recipes to meet her individual needs.

Here in Chris's collection of recipes, you'll find juice, soup, salad and entree choices. Some items are optional, so you can switch them with something that better suits your requirements.

Play with your food - Chris does and that creative spirit inspires her recipes. Toss in whatever tickles your fancy and invent your own variations.

If you're photo-sensitive, bear in mind that uncooked parsley and celery can contribute to that problem. Potatos, tomatos, mushrooms, eggplant and peppers are nightshade plants, which may strengthen or overstimulate your immune response.

Some of us can eat some or all of these foods without problems, while others will have strong negative reactions. As with soy products, they may provide a boost, so long as we don't overdo.

There is no one diet that is absolutely specific to us all so it's important for us to be creative in our own kitchens. Always keep your own tastes and needs in mind.

For reseacrh based information on what might rile your wolf or tempt his taste buds, read Lupus and A Wolf-Wise Diet, linked at the left side of this page. More nutrition solutions are at Lupus NewsLog, in many other articles.

We wish you merry munching!
