What Causes Abdominal Pain And Belly Bloating In A Person With Lupus?

I have been experiencing right side abdominal pain with a hard bloated belly since Thursday evening. I am queasy and tend to be in more pain after eating light meals. I ve had bowel movements every day with the help of a glycerin suppositories. The bloating is worse today and the pain is moving to underneath by right rib cage and lower back. I have Lupus and am currently on immune suppressants. Due to health issues I am on oxyneo with hydromorphine for break through pain however it doesn t seem to be managing my pain. I am also covered in a rash with a low grade ofever.

I think you should take antacids like pantaprazole , you may be having bloating due to steroids which is quite normal with these drugs.

There can be many reasons but one that is most evident seems to be gastritis . You will need to take an antacid for the same.
