Post Colonoscopy Result - what could it be?
Hi all, I posted previously about stomach issues I was experiencing. What I could only describe as flare ups - stomach pain, inflamed feeling and sometimes vomiting. Had a stool test done and the calprotectin levels were 500+ I had my colonoscopy today and was so sure they’d say that I had very obvious

Left side new pain
I've got a new symptom lol. Pain at waist level about 3 inches to the left of my navel. It comes and goes and moving around sometimes helps. I do have diverticular in the left sigmoid colon but this is higher up in my abdomen. It's not like a normal churning IBS flare up - bowels relatively normal

Two positive IFA tests, one negative. But positives were all about an hour after receiving b12 injections?
I had low b12, at 156. They gave me the injection. About an hour later they drew my blood and I was pos for IFA but neg for PA. I had an endoscopy and had no atrophic gastritis, so was given another IF test and this time was neg. Went to a new Dr and she gave me a b12 shot, and about 45 minutes later

Bloat?????
I have PD and my only sign is a left hand tremor. But when I eat a small meal I feel bloated all day. Today I woke at 6AM and found a tray of donuts. I ate one and am still bloated at 3PM. I know I must eat to be able to have a BM and if I don't eat my stomach growls while I'm constipated.

Irritable Bowel
Is IBS a common side effect of Prednisolone? I am really struggling to control bowel movements. I have also had three or four really unpleasant bouts of sudden sickness and diahorrea this year. I do eat quite a lot of fruit and have been trying to cut back but keep wondering, is it me or the drugs

C15 again…
People with PD often lose weight quickly. I wonder if the body is burning fat looking for c15? Wild thought. Here is some more from chatgpt: C15:0 (pentadecanoic acid), like other fatty acids, is both used by the body and accumulated in various tissues, depending on several factors, including

Buscopan ibs relief
Has anyone tried this for their ibs. I don't usually take medication but as an ibs-d sufferer normally, suddenly I have started with ibs-c and ibs-d alternately. Sometimes my gut feels as if it's rushing everything through, and other times it seems to come to a full stop. In addition, I have started

Endoscopy & diverticulitis
Dr wants to do endoscopy in 8 weeks time to see if infection has gone. Won't blood tests, and lack of pain tell him that? What are the benefits of an endoscopy?

IBS stomach issues
For years we have experienced stomach issues and pain while eating pretty much anything. We have tried the fodmap diet, and medications. We have now done a colonoscopy and are on prescription medication. We are very concerned that these meds are not helping after 3 months of taking them. Has anyone else

6ft 2in & 25mcg levo
Hi allJust a bit of a rant. My sister told me a while ago that my nephew had been diagnosed with a thyroid problem. Spoke to him today. He is a big guy. He is on 25mcg levo as 'his levels are only a little low and he just needs a top-up' according to his gp. They have however put him on statins as his

Bad Diarrhoea & Gas
I’m sorry if this post sounds quite rank, but I just wondered if anyone else is experiencing this. For the last 4 days I have been getting stomach cramps, and my stomach has been doing a lot of churning noises, which lead to really really bad gas and diarrhoea! It’s been 4 days in a row now, at night

Bowel Endo?
Saw GP last week and stool results came back with very raised Calprotectin (inflammation) and Blood in stools (FIT test). I’ve now been referred on the urgent 2-week ?cancer pathway, could also be IBD with results so now waiting on an urgent colonoscopy. Could this be bowel endo? Lots of overlapping
