10 Lupus Symptoms

Symptom #9: Digestive problems
When the digestive system becomes inflamed, a number of symptoms can emerge. The most common symptoms of digestive inflammation for people suffering from lupus include heartburn and acid reflux.
These symptoms can usually be treated with simple antacids. If you continue to experience chronic heartburn, you might want to consider decreasing the size of your meals because large meals can overwork the stomach and digestive tract. It’s also important to avoid caffeinated beverages because these can stimulate acid reflux. If neither of these things helps you overcome your digestive upset, go see your doctor.
