  1. ,
    I'm sorry to hear what you've been going through.
    Digestive issues and lupus seem to be quite common. That being said, long term antibiotics (as well as other medications) can lead to an array of digestive issues.
    You may want to reach out to your healthcare provider to discuss these digestive issues and your options.
    In the meantime, I wanted to share this article that you may find helpful: https://lupus.net/living/digestive-symptoms.

  2. Hi, ! I can't really add to what Doreen wrote, so I just want to piggyback on it and say that I do hope you are able to get to the cause of your digestive distress and get some healing! It definitely could be the long term antibiotics use or something else altogether. Talking with your doctor is the best route to go.

    Best, Erin, Team Member.
