Could be related

Detailed Answer:
Hi, I am Dr Gopal Goel Orthopedic Surgeon.
In my opinion ,your abdominal cramps and diarrhea could be related to all the conditions you have , particularly lupus and neuropathy. You could be having ulcerative colitis.
I would recommend consultation with a rheumatologist and a gastro enterologist .I suggest take anti spasmodic medicines during abdominal cramps.
Thanx for the question. Please feel free to ask any further question.
