Good to know chilli can cause inflammation

Good advisor
For me, like @lupusk being out in the sun for a prolonged period will set mine off. Stress and the common cold cause flare ups for me too.
@iwillbeatthis I haven't really noticed chilli setting me off, I'll have to pay more attention. I don't know much about inflammatory foods, are they just foods with lots of spice?

@Courtney_J stress and sun exposure are a trigger for me as well. Does anyone know if sun cream can prevent flares if we want to go out in the sun, or will they occur anyway?

Hello everyone,
Unfortunately, lupus can attack patients with "flares". Different things cause flares in different people.
What causes your lupus to flare up? How do you avoid it?
