Lupus Support Group
Lupus is an auto-immune disease in which the immune system cannot distinguish between threats (like viruses and bacteria), and healthy cells and tissue. As a result, the body produces antibodies that inflict cell damage, most commonly targeting joints, skin, kidneys and the nervous system. Join the group and find support for coping with lupus.
The last 2 weeks have been terrible for me on my stomach. I haven't been able to eat at all. No matter how hungry I get or how many hunger pains I get, my appetite is completely gone. I ate a little bit of spaghetti and already feel sick to my stomach again. I'm having trouble wanting to keep everything down. I've also had this "kicked in the ribs" feeling for quite awhile, which I told my primary about on our last visit and she acted like it was no biggie. I've been so busy with work I haven't gotten back to see the doctor yet. Please keep me in your prayers that this heals up soon, I'm losing weight but not the way I'd like to. :(
Have you or can you get examined by a gastro specialist to establish what might be going on. Lupus can mess with almost any aspect of our bodies can't it.
Also I strictly adhere to taking a digestive enzyme at least once a day & a probiotic after I eat. I know in my heart that these two items make a major difference.
Here's an idea also. Have you tried starting with basic soups, say chicken soups & stuff & work from there. I go thru periods where I have to make sure I stick to lower fibre foods & listen to what my body wants & when. You might want to stay away fr stuff thats too acidic & too seasoned & when you feel more stable branch out fr there.
Am I making any sense here. I feel like I'm rambling, I sure hope not.
Please know I hand up to our Lord a prayer that his loving grace will guide you to a much better place.
Please feel free to contact me if there's any even little ways I can offer help.
