Lactose free Levo
Good morning,I'm wondering if anyone has experience of switching to lactose free Levothyroxene and it helping with fatigue specifically? I have always been somewhat dairy/cows milk intolerant. I get all the usual symptoms but over the past few years have discovered what I can manage (butter, hard cheese

diarrhoea, sickness and stomach pain
This is not something I normally suffer with so wondering if adrenals waking up might cause this? If not then the pate I had on Friday night was the culprit.

Worried about blood
Hi all Since September ish I have been suffering with constipation. I went to my doctors and was prescribed laxido. This helped and I was able to go toilet with no pain. I stopped taking it as I didn't want to be dependant on it but the constipation returned. I do about 90% of the time have bright red

Constipation from PARPS
Hello, I had a recurrence last year after being in remission for over 6 years. I was diagnosed as being a 3C and am BRAC2. I did really well with the chemo and now I have been taking Olaparib for a little less than 3 weeks. It's been rough especially at the beginning. They had to wait a few extra

So down today 🥺 Why does everything take so long and nothing helps
I'm in my late 40s and have a provisional diagnosis of Adenomyosis I don't think I've ever felt so low, as today. I'm waiting for urgent mri scan results, that I had 5 weeks ago. I am in crippling pain. My bowels are all over the place and everyday I have rectal bleeding. I can't tolerate stronger pain

chronic rectal bleeding, colonoscopy normal
I have been dealing with chronic rectal bleeding for at least 8 months, if not more. Been blown off by doctors. My family doctor finally sent me to a general surgeon who ordered a colonoscopy. Was instantly not a fan of him. My consultation was literally a minute long. He was very arrogant, and didn’

Octasa / Mesalazine - Should I be seeing more of a change?
Hello. I have struggled with symptoms for 2 years - loose, frequent bowels, always with urgency, fatigue, etc. Had colonoscopy and relevant tests and doctor says that I likely have crohns and is treating me as such. I had steroids for 3 months which generally helped (though my calprotectin was higher

What are "normal" bowel movements?
With IBS have you noticed your stool never looks the same? Has anyone seen a change in how their stools look? Do they seem erratic, every day they look different? Sometimes it's thinner, sometimes it's not as long, sometimes it's short, sometimes it's weird shaped like a J...etc. Have you had a

Pred and stomach upsets
I’m just wondering if being on Pred makes my stomach more easily upset? I’ve been on it for 2 years now, but have always taken it with Omeprazole. I’ve noticed that I’ve had frequent bouts of vomiting over the last 2 years, whereas previously I hadn’t been sick for years and it was very rare. As a primary
