Are IMMUNE disorders related to GASTRITIS, EROSION, and ULCERS?I'm not going to get into all my medical problems, but I was wondering if immune system diseases are related to ulcers in the stomach, intestine, gastritis, erosion in my digestive tract, and other scarring in my digestive tract?
Just to note, I am 15 years old, very clean (in all ways!), good diet, and exercise (well not anymore due to weakness, joints, etc.), never smoke, never drink.
For the past two years I have been getting sicker and sicker, and symptoms keep growing worse. The only doctor I have been able to see is a GI and I'm scheduled for Aug. 24 with a rheumatologist, but I'm afraid I can't wait that long.
After two years of GI testing, which I knew wasn't what I needed, I wanted other things - IMMUNE, the only thing that came up was high ESR, and some inflammation and scarring in intesines, but when it was evaluated again, it was gone.
The symptoms I have been most worried about is pain in my lungs, back, shoulders, joints, bones, rashes, redness, swelling, fevers, heart and chest pain, shocks, loss of use in legs, collapsing, etc. etc. so many other things! My symptoms have been steering towards Lupus but then again I have no idea what's really wrong.
Although I am extremely lucky to have been given the news I recieved today, I know this isn't the only thing going on...I would love to know if anyone knows about diseases related to this? Or if anyone has experienced this and found more answers?

Sounds like you may have IBD (Crohn's or Ulcerave Cloritis). Have your GI do a Small Bowel Follow Through - it is painless and can be conclusive.
I have Crohn's, and many of the same symptoms. You might want to try the SCD Diet for a few days and see if you get any relief (www.scdiet.org).
Good luck!

I have lupus and your symptoms really dont ring a bell. The only thing that I would say relates to my symptoms is the joint pain and weakness. But im not a doctor. I wish you the best of luck, I know it can be extremely nerve racking to not know what is wrong with you. God Bless...
