Does Coffee Irritates The System When Diagnosed With Lupus Nephritis?
I am 27 weeks pregnant and was recently diagnosed with SLE and Class 4 Lupus Nephritis. Do you know why coffee might now irritate my system? Is it the caffeine or other ingredients? Any studies? Age 33, 5"6", 155 lbs. I have no other problems. The doctors think I have had Lupus for a long time but 15 years ago when I saw a Rheumatologist for painful Rayneauds Syndrome the testing was not as accurate. No problems have been detected with the fetus.

Dear Madam,
There are generally no dietary restrictions for patient with lupus . Coffee is not a contraindication for this.
