Gastric emptying: I'm not aware of lupus increasing gastric emptying. If there is gastritis, prilosec twice a day or pepcid should help. To reduce gastrointestinal irritability or spasms, anticholinergic medications like dicyclomine, donnatal or probanthine are effective. Abstain from alcohol,caffeine and nicotine.
