Good morning Joyce, the only stomach issues I’ve experienced were drug related. The first couple of weeks taking mtx then it went away on its own. For a short time I switched to leflunomide and had upset stomach and diarrhea. I went back to mtx. Keep us posted. Sending prayers your way for healing and relief 🙏🏻

RA and gut issues go hand and hand. I never know what my insides are going to do next. It's been a lifelong battle for me, but I've had problems all my life since childhood with various autoimmune disorders. I believe it comes down to the inflammatory process. Messes with everything.

Paula, it's great to hear you have an RA drug that works well for you. Very glad to hear it. It gives us all hope that there is a medication out there for all of us. It's just finding the right one.

Sorry to hear about your heart issues, surgery and exhausting recovery. Take getting back on your feet slowly. Best wishes.

Our meds can cause issues too. Actemra has gut related side effects

I am glad to find out that stomach trouble is some of the side effect.At least I found out that RA can cause stomach problems.I was concerned that it maybe something more serious outside of RA.I went on the Arthritis Foundation website,and found out that every symptom that I have can be RA related with stomach issues.
