Everything I eat affects my stomach it is horrible!! Oatmeal or anything light I’m fine but my stomach can’t take anything heavy. Stomach gets bloated terribly and my food just sits at the top of my stomach for hours 😩😩😩
Shanell, lupus can cause this, but please talk with your doctor about whether any of your meds may be contributing. Taking meds on a full stomach can help reduce any GI side effects. If your stomach is sluggish in emptying (gastroparesis), smaller, more frequent meals can help.
@A MyLupusTeam Member thank you I will try that full stomach method
Yes, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) can affect the lining of your stomach and cause digestion problems. Conditions like gastroparesis, where the stomach empties food too slowly, are more common in people with lupus. Symptoms include bloating, nausea, and feeling full after eating small amounts.
