I.b.s.?

I know that lupus affects the digestive system.....HOW does it affect the digestive system? I.B.S. ?

I have some weird gastro issues and I think it has to be lupus related...some days I am fine in my digestive tract........but other days my food which I normally eat with no problem will make me nauseous and bloated and sick feeling..........and the weirdest problem of all is on the days when I have a BM ........I can have an allergy attack or feel sick for an hour or so before I go to the bathroom and then afterwards, I am sick and nauseous and feel awful for the rest of the day........sounds crazy doesn't it !?!

Is this I.B.S. or what?........Has anyone else had any of these weird problems with their guts ?

I plan to talk to my Dr. about all this.....I just hope he doesn't think that I am crazy !!! LOL !!!

I constantly have GI issues. Celiac is one of them. I always feel "weird " after a bm. Not sure why. Lol. Like I get dizzy and want to pass out. And it has nothing to do with straining. I also have degos that affects my gi and one of the main complications is internal bleeding. So I’m always inspecting for blood. My mom calls me the poop checker. So is it related to lupus? Probably. What’s not?

Thanks for your reply Jen...I can relate to the dizzy after a bm....that is why I was thinking IBS.....and you are right ...most symptoms are ALL related to lupus !!!

Take care.....you will be in my prayers :)

BLESSINGS and hugs :)
