Lupus is an autoimmune condition and gluten/gliadin free diets have been clinically shown to help patients with autoimmune conditions.
Since every patient is different, there is no guarantee that a gluten free diet will make a positive impact, however, if the diet is properly followed for a one month trial (making sure to include all essential components such as healthy fats, protein, etc. while completely avoiding gluten), there is a good chance that the patient will notice positive changes in their symptoms.
