What is Management of Gastrointestinal Manifestations in Sjögren’s about?

Sjögren’s disease may involve the entire gastrointestinal tract, liver, and pancreas. Sjögren’s patients commonly experience gastroesophageal reflux, difficulty swallowing (dysphagia), issues with gastric emptying, and abdominal pain and bloating. The symptoms may vary from mild to severe. Abnormality in esophageal function and motility is detected in up to 35% of patients with Sjögren’s. Celiac disease occurs in up to 12% of Sjögren’s patients, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) in 39%, and indigestion (dyspepsia in 65%). Proper evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment will prevent possible complications and will significantly improve the patient’s quality of life. With certain complications, lifestyle choices can help to manage and improve the symptoms.
