Does anyone experience a lot of lower extremity swelling during a flare up?
I've been having 3+ edema. Also, bowel habits change during this time.

Hi, I drink cranberry organic juice for swallen legs and body, and I am not involved with kidney involvements, This week I went to E,r for anxiety and I have been trhowing up every day, yesterday I ate a Yogurt and this time stay in my stomach. If You have problems toevacuate, drink organic prune juice, that help you to go the restroom very easy and quick. Is better if you do it with empty stomack, I do it after drinking my coffe. Have a beautiful day.
