Anyone else with autoimmune flare ups?

The ANA does not turn negative, ever, I have been told, so maybe it was your food testing that turned negative-?

I have very high scleroderma antibodies but not sure I have it as yet. Blood tests do not suffice for a diagnosis, no matter how serious the blood tests look. And the SCL-70 has false positives.

Many autoimmune patients have internal organ damage. I have a friend who has had more than one kidney transplant. I have lupus but do indeed feel it is "not that bad"!

I gave up dairy, gluten, nuts, salmon, chocolate and avocado years ago. My ANA remains very positive.

I also gave up foods; gluten & soy, thinking those were the culprit and was about to give up other foods until I was tested. Everything had egg and or coconut...
Not everyone is the same but wouldn't it be great to find what foods are the problem then remove from your diet and feel better?
