Summary
This trial will compare how well two different diets work for people with Lupus.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) who are being treated by a specialist. Participants must speak English, be able to consent, and follow the study's procedures. It excludes pregnant individuals or those planning pregnancy, people with certain food allergies or intolerances, vegetarians/vegans, and those already consuming high levels of fermented foods or dietary fiber.
What is being tested?
The study tests how well participants with SLE can stick to two diets: the Mediterranean diet and a diet rich in fermented foods. This randomized controlled trial lasts four months and aims to see if these diets can reduce inflammation associated with lupus.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves dietary changes rather than medication, side effects may include digestive discomfort as the body adjusts to new eating patterns. Specific side effects will depend on individual tolerances to components of the Mediterranean or high-fermented-food diets.
