Heartburn, : Scleroderma can affect everything from the mouth to the anus. The most common symptom is heartburn. The most common finding is esophageal dysmotility, which can cause swallowing problems but most people are asymptomatic. Advanced cases have malabsorption issues and bacterial overgrowth syndrome which can cause diarrhea. http://www.med.umich.edu/scleroderma/patients/gastro.htm.
