Experiences with

Amylase test

My amylase levels were also high, and after Googling, I found that this can sometimes be caused by tubal defects. In December, I had a HyCoSy and a transvaginal ultrasound, which showed no blockages. I requested another amylase test, and it's still elevated.

Only managed to speak to a gastroenterologist once on the phone (in four years) who recommended a pancreatic amylase test and more antibiotics to no avail. Anyone any idea on a way forward for me or who recognises the problem? Many thanks in advance.

Lipase/amylase was WNL. Will occasionally recheck that even though pancreatitis is unlikely to be an issue. Will do a follow-up MRI/MRCP in one year. Gallstones - No intervention needed since I am asymptomatic. Recommend sticking with a Mediterranean Diet, which I do anyway (mostly).

I've been off all food and only on IV and water for about 2 weeks now which has seen my Amylase and Lipase drop from the 1660/2884 levels down to 741/754 over the past week. This is good but still too high.

I have normal amylase and liver function, also had full blood count and Celiac screening all of which is normal. I'm worried it might be pancreatic cancer as I do get upper back pain but my dr thinks that's completely unrelated as I had a clear ultrasound scan which showed the pancreas as healthy!

I had to wait for a multidisciplinary conference to decide what type of cyst it is, because I had both traits of a pseudocyst and a Mucinous cyst (my Amylase is >80,000, but my CEA number was 48, in a grey area) so they are treating it as mucinous cyst and doing a distal pancreatectomy, splenectomy,

Saliva samples will be analysed to measure changes in two important hormones - cortisol and alpha amylase - reliable predictors of a stress reaction. Additionally, one small sample of your hair will be collected from the back of your head, before the main study takes place.

trypsin inhibitors (ATI) are natural proteins found in cereals such as wheat, barley and rye. The ATI proteins are hardly digested and cause mild inflammatory reactions in the intestine.

I then had fecal elzstase test which was negative for cp but I am still struggling.... I asked for a blood test which showed serum amylase was 16 lipase was 24 both of which are low.... my doctor however says maybe they have always been low.

Hi all, I am currently 6dp5dt and tested negative this morning so I'm aware it's looking likely to be a failed transfer again, this was our second and we have never seen a positive pregnancy test.

Hi everyone Can someone please post the link for the T4,T3,so I can check how far through the range my results are please Thanks

I was 7 day's late now losing pink-light red watery muscus blood when I wipe and I've had a negative blood and urine pregnancy test

I have been on 75mcg levo + 10 T3 for 7 weeks. Upped levo from 50/75 to 75mcg daily. I already have anxiety and depression but my anxiety since increasing has really increased. I wake up in the morning shaking all over and throughout the day it gets worse where I feel in a constant state of panic, sweating

They suck at that without a test and the testing is not absolute. As always thank those of you that share your experience, those that tell me what I experience, experienced and what I will experience were and are incorrect. That is the result of my trials driven by my expertice.

This is my first post. I’ve been on Levo Thyroxine since 1991. When it was Eltroxin and came in a pill bottle,not a packet. And I felt so much better…and then came different packets & different brands. And I then felt unwell…getting a different brand for every prescription. I was told by different GP

Hi lovely people For the past 10 days I keep going in and out of Af during course of the day very symptomatic palpitations exhaustion . Now And then breathless On exertion and sometimes dizzy Spells lasting a less then a minute pulse rate dropping in seconds from 85 down to low 40’

im looking for a t3 source if anyone could message me one thanks

I did not get one but it seems from my research that values above 80 automatically mean negative pregnancy test and I was wondering if it might be useful to pursue it privately. Thank you all very much

I monitor my temperature and pulse regularly and have been ordering cynoplus and cynomel from Mexico for a few years. I'm wondering if there's anywhere in the UK I can access any of the following:- cynomel, cytomel (as I hear it's the same?), NP Thyroid (I've been told its a good alternative which might
