Dawn L asked:
She has Systemic Lupus and Addison’s Diseases. I understand why she has to be careful with some things, like potassium, but I don’t get why she has been cautioned away from green tea and soy products. Any ideas? Thanks.

Green tea helps to bolster the immune system. In people with Lupus the immune system attacks even the good cells. The treatment for Lupus includes suppressing the immune system. If you take an immuno suppressant and then take something to bolster the immune system you’re asking for trouble.
There is no reason that I know that she should stay away from Soy. I would definately ask her doctor the reason for this. I’m sure you’d get a better answer from a doctor rather than in yahoo answers.
