Guest guest Posted June 4, 2004 Report Share Posted June 4, 2004 Cheryl J., Are you taking an antibiotic for the UTI? Sometimes, that can trigger problems with digestion, swallowing, and etc. If not, then I suggest you get a referral to a gastro doc and get it checked out. Some lupus patients develop problems with swallowing. Also, if you are a fast eater, it would be wise to slow down, chew thoroughly, and drink something after each bite. Try those first, then see about a gastro doc. Let us know how it goes for you. Hugs, MM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2004 Report Share Posted June 4, 2004 Hello Fellow Lupies, Since I am new to this, I am still in learning mode. I read all of your posts, but I don't write much. I enjoy reading, and thank all of you for your participation. My question is, do any of you have indigestion problems? I have had acid reflux, etc. for a very long time, but now I have a new problem. EVERY time I eat it is like my food gets stuck in my throat, like when you swallow a pill and it doesn't go down. Or like my stomach can't handle the food and it gets backed up in my throat. Is that weird or what? I know that I have to go see my doctor, but I really dread it, I have been there once a week for the past 3 weeks, 2 for UTI and then for strange pain in my right arm. But, I really can't handle this indigestion/whatever it is! Thanks for your input, I appreciate all of you! Cheryl J - GA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
