Digestive Problems

Acid reflux, the occasional heartburn and other gastrointestinal issues are usually indicative of the lupus hiding underneath. The digestive process may be restored with the physician recommending the intake of digestive enzymes, probiotics or other similar supplement. These will help restore the presence of healthy bacteria in the gut and boost the immune system in the process. You will notice the effects of it as the flare-ups subside. Taking antacids can help ease the burning sensation you feel in the esophagus area. Doctors recommend not lying down after eating heavy meals. Physicians also recommend dividing up your food portions to more manageable sizes to ensure optimal digestion.
