If so, did you want to stick with the cruciferous family, or venture into another category? Also, how is your weight doing? With all the rice, I’m curious if it has stayed stable or moved around.

Well, I have a super painful left thumb joint. I don't think its from climbing the ladder, although that could have made it worse. I'm a little concerned that my first 3 foods (after the brown rice) have failed, and the broccoli with rather spectacular results. I'm tempted to give up at this point. Its only been 2.5 weeks, but I'm so afraid that the Lupus is going to get going again and I won't be able to get it under control. I actually thought about hiring Jeff to help me with this before I started. Might have been a good idea!
I'll sleep on it before I give up. I've finished my broccoli for the day, and I will have rice for breakfast, and then we'll see. I've been on 100mg/day of Plaquenil since 9/23 - maybe its time to bump it back up to at least 200mg/day. Maybe I should just be satisfied if I can maintain on that dose (I was maintaining on 300mg/day previously) ... and eat something besides rice!!
Brown rice - good
kale - bad (LS, but no joint pain)
sweet potatoes - bad (mild joint pain)
broccoli - bad (much more noticeable joint pain, especially in left thumb)

What I do is when pains start up, reset back to one good food you know doesn't hurt you and do so for 4-7 days because it can take that long for the offending food(s) to leave the body as well as the antibodies that are attacking the body by accident. I would also suggest slowing way down on your testing. Test a new food for 4-7 days at a minimum unless you flare badly. And again if you flare, reset to your one good food for 4-7 days before testing a different food. Don't rush so you can be sure of a food and only test it once; something that took me many years to realize.
