positive occult blood test but no parasites ?
I'm a mid-sixties female with R.A. Constipated until a year ago. Oftentimes in the last year (but not always) my poop looked well-formed but had something that looked like a string coming out the end, up to an inch long. My bowel habits changed a lot a few months ago/much less constipated. A couple

Swollen painful hand
I've had PMR for 2 years. Was started on 40 mg of prednisone. I have slowly gotten down to 13 mg. Recently I tapered to 12 mg but have not felt very well & suddenly my right hand fingers are swollen & very painful. This has never happened before. Is this some kind of flare?

Where does the blood come from?
Hi, I have endometriosis and with it I get bowel symptoms. The most prevalent is pain but I also get cyclical rectal bleeding. I had a colonoscopy and it was all clear they took some biopsies but results i probably wont get this year. I know this is common with endometriosis, but where does the blood

Omeprazole ...side effects...
Update of last post...all now settled thank you.Regarding omeprazole...spoke to GP this morning for steroid script, and asked if I still needed to take omeprazole on such a low dose of pred. He asked if I had ever had indigestion or stomach ulcers in the past...no. He was willing to try me on half my

Complementary therapies?
I have just come to the end of the chemo radiation and seemingly I now wait about three months before having a PET scan and a fibroscopy to see how effective the treatment has been and what might be the next steps. Just for my own sense of well being I am thinking about trying some complementary therapies

Not impressed
Decided to go through my medical notes such as they are, and blood tests again now I'm more sensible again. All hospital consultations are missed off and consequently diagnoses. Oh, and there is a gp consultation noted that never took place. Basically my notes appear to be a mess. What really

Divver? IBS? Something more sinister?
Back again. Noticed after a few weeks that I was eating fairly normally - always very careful - and not really going to the bathroom as much as I should have. Small soft BMs, after feeling like a huge BM was coming. Also having either hemmerhoid or fissure, fistula issues, but my opening is very sore

Constipation
I'm having a bad flare up . I was prescribed mebeverine, one of the side effects of that is constipation. I have IBS D , now I'm just constipated . I'd rather go than not go . It makes no sense that the medication has this side effect. I've stopped taking it as of today. Now I have to cancel my shift

Stomach symptoms with your IBS?
Do you have symptoms in your stomach? Besides perhaps the intestinal symptoms (constipation, diarrhea, gas)...do you also have symptoms in your stomach/upper abdomen? I have like a gnawing sensation almost feels like you are hungry but you aren't.... Does anyone experience this or any other upper

IBS or Redundant colon
So my symptoms started over ten years ago after a period of stress. I was later diagnosed with IBS with constipation, flatulence and abdominal pain -lower left side. The pain is only severe following a bowel movement. So I have a cycle of feeling fine until I have a bowel movement in the morning. It

New diagnosis of IBD
Hi all, I was told I had IBS and I have been back and forth with the doctors for a few years now. I’ve been again recently and the Dr said that tests had come back abnormal and that we were actually looking at IBD. She said the referral time is unfortunately quite long but I’m now going to be seen

Thanks to everybody who responded to my recent post about a colonoscopy cancelled at the last second because I had earlier gone into AF. Thought I would finish it with an update. Received letter today from surgical consultant who basically stated that the colonoscopy had not been necessary because

Blood test
Had both Covid and flu jabs yesterday. Lipase blood test due today. I've been searching to see if it's wise. Leave it 48 hours is all I can see after a long search. Any advice if you've been in that position. I didn't do my weekly Benipali jab yesterday . My RA is in remission but sadly attacked my Pancreas

Am I going insane?
Hmm so I’m just wondering, do those of you with PA that self inject regularly still suffer extreme fatigue and body aches and pains or other symptoms? I have celiac disease and that’s in remission thanks to a gluten free diet and I self inject fortnightly. I follow a good gut health diet but was told
