Recognizable Symptoms Of Lupus

Digestive Issues

Occasional heartburn, acid reflux, and other gastrointestinal problems are common in lupus. Taking supplements to support the digestive system such as probiotics and digestive enzymes may help with digestion. They will also contribute to boosting the immune system and restore the healthy bacteria in the gut, which should reduce the length of most flares. Antacids are available to control the burning sensation in your esophagus. Avoid lying down after meals. Cutting your meals in half also helps make sure they are easily digested.

Swollen Joints

Inflammation is a classic symptom of lupus. If you experience visible stiffness and pain in your joints or visible swelling, talk to your doctor. Inflammation may start out gradual at first and become worse during a full flare-up. Inflamed joints are often associated with arthritis, so be sure to keep track of any other symptoms you are experiencing to help with a proper lupus diagnosis. Tart cherry juice and turmeric supplements work wonderfully for joint inflammation.
