nic apples, eating lots of cooked vegetables with ground/whole caraway seeds, caraway anisseed tea, could it be another autoimmune disease of my guts? I was told lupus usually only attacks the GI tract of children but I'm wondering if I'm an exception. I have Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Sjogrens Disease, Celiacs Disease, Raynauds, Antiphospholipidsyndrome, Factor 5 Leiden Mutation etc
Natasha, Lupus affects every organ system and if it doesn't the meds we sometimes take gets us. Praying for you. God bless
I too have GI issues, the last two weeks in fact it has been particularly revved up. My rheumy passed me on to a GI doctor for last few years and they did colonoscopies and could not find anything. This told me it was likely inflammation due to my lupus and I found that taking 5mg. of prednisone for a couple days cleared things up. I am due for another colonoscopy but have put it off. Hoping to do the cologuard route instead. I do take probiotics everyday and try to eat fiberous foods. Oatmeal, broccoli , beans.... I drink a green sencha tea every morning and that helps calm my stomach too. Consistency is key I have found. I truly hope you find some help and they can get ya feeling better fast.💜
