Gastroenterologist Questions Scleroderma

Cold

I have scleroderma and around the same time it was discovered, I started having this cold sensation in my stomach and throat. It would make me really nauseous, and when it would get super bad, I would try to make myself throw up, but nothing would come out. After reading up on scleroderma, I learned that it can cause GI issues. Could this sickness be caused by my scleroderma?

Nausea is a very nonspecific symptom, and can be caused by many things, both GI and non-GI. However, scleroderma in my experience does not usually cause nausea, so I would search for another explanation before attributing it to scleroderma.
