Gastrointestinal issues

General
1

Without getting into too many details. I have had some stomach/intestinal stuff since the lupus

symptoms started, then when I got to a high dose of cellcept it got quite a bit worse. About 6 weeks

ago I started Benlysta. And food has almost become my enemy. I never know what is going to agree with me, or if it is going to stay put (so to speak) I knew that this was a side effect to both but sheesh.

I am losing weight, not that I could stand to lose a few. I have talked to my Dr. but they don't seem too

concerned. Anyone else with the same issues and what has helped? I take immodium when I need to and drink lots of fluids but it is getting old!

I take Prilosec and it seemed to help keep it down and I take cellcept twice a day. I also take plaquinil sometimes it will cause me to bloat and spend a little extra time in the restroom.I don't know if that helped any but perhaps talking to the Dr. it may be reflux from the meds.

GASTRO ISSUES, I WAS TOLD TO TAKE PRO BIOTICS. IT BALANCES OUT YOUR INTESTINAL TRACK AND BUILDS THE IMMUNE SYSTEM.

TRY IT THEY HAVE IT MORE IN ACTIVA YOGURT AND NOW THEY HAVE PILLS THAT ARE PRO-BIOTIC

GOOD LUCK
