Digestive issue.

[Cassiecat]

Hi all, have had sjogren's since 2012 but been managing okay. It's now going through my body and causing digestive problems. Food is taking longer to pass through the system, probably dryness, and causing bloating etc. Would welcome any suggestions to make it easier to manage. Cheers Cassiecat

I suggest you see a gastroenterologist for a professional opinion and help but maybe try a little psyllium husk in water which forms a gel and helps lubricate the digestive tract. Start with half a teaspoonful and increase gradually so it doesn't lubricate too much. Psyllium husk is cheap and available in most supermarkets. I have used it and it helped when I had similar problems. Also drink lots of water.
