Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am having upper stomach pain, nausea, loose stools, fatigue, gas. I had one episode of vomiting (regurgitation) about five days ago, and the symptoms all went downhill from there. I am taking Aspirin, Zoloft, Prednisolone, Cellcept, Hydroxychloroquine, Amlodipine and Clonidine. I have lupus (SLE), anxiety, and GERD. I am also 18 years old and 200+ lbs.
