Irritable Bowel Syndrome Treatment

Question by Patty P: What causes low albumin levels?
One of my friends has blood work and the only abnormality was a low albumin level. She has been having bouts of diarrhea on and off and was told that she has irritable bowel syndrome. Could this be the reason that her albumin levels are low?

Best answer:

Answer by N
Poor nutrition, liver disease, inflammation or infection can all cause low albumin levels.
In this case it is probably due to poor nutrition as the IBS will prevent her from eating properly due to abdominal pain and other symptoms.

Question by Dani J: what causes lower abdominal pain with lupus?
I just found out I have Lupus on monday, I learned that I have had it for 12 years. I have been having lower abdominal pain for the past year, no one could find the cause. This pain is just like Irritable Bowel Syndrome, could it just be IBS or associated with the Lupus?

Answer by Linda R
When we have lupus and something goes wrong with our bodies, our first inclination is to blame it on the lupus. Although lupus can affect any part of the body, the bowel is not one of its favorite places. Lupus is an autoimmune disease. Lupus likes to bring friends (other autoimmune diseases) along with it.

From my experience with lupus patients, gluten can be a source of bowel issues for some. You might ask to be tested for Celiac disease. It is also possible to have IBS and lupus.
