Bowel prep for colonoscopy - long post. Sorry.

There are a number of products (some branding names vary between USA and UK). So, this is my journey this year: Needed a colonoscooy as well as Upper GI Endoscopy so appointment

Gallstones
Hi my husband has liver cirrhosis and now gallstones, he is in agony most of the time but they won't remove the gallbladder, he's at the end of his tether and now drinking more because with the codeine it's the only thing that slightly dulls the pain. It's a huge strain on out relationship. Just after

Gall Stone!
Hi all I’m 2 years post Ivor Lewis. One year after surgery I developed a hernia and had further surgery. From out of the blue I developed a sharp pain under my right ribs and a scan has revealed a Gall Stone. My surgeon suggests surgery to remove my gall bladder. Has anyone else experienced this? I’ve

Altermative to a liver biopsy???
I have not formally been diagnosed with PBC but am responding well to urso. I had a liver biopsy which went wrong and resulted in a perforrated gallbladder and I really dont want another one. Does a fibroscan do the same job as a biopsy?

Has anyone had pain in their back from gall bladder problems?
I've had pain under my ribs on the right side on and off for ages, along with some shortness of breath. The GP thinks it's probably gallstones and I've been waiting for an ultrasound since January. Recently I've had quite a lot of pain across my back where my ribs are and it's woken me up at night a

Gall Bladder Removal
Following an Ultrasound scan, it was identified that I have gallstones. I saw a surgeon yesterday who wants to take out the gall bladder. My pain is manageable at this stage and he has classed me as medium priority. My question is a simple one. Does anybody regret having the gall bladder taken out and

Can we regenerate damaged organs in the lab?
I responded to someone’s question earlier about the need for liver transplants in the future. While looking at some videos online, I came across this one entitled “Can we regenerate damaged organs in the lab?”. I felt this video story which was put up recently (Feb 21) was just too good a story to warrant

Pain in my right side between above the hip bone and below ribs
Hi I keep getting pain in my right side it’s above my hip bone and below the ribs , sometimes it feels like it’s burning ache , sometimes just a pain. Could this be gall stones? Or gall bladder pain? Sometimes feels like it’s going round my back too, I’ve had blood tests all come back normal. Any help

Gallstones
Hi I've had a ultrasound in July 2019 which they found small gallstones. But when I stood up and they scanned me they fell down into the duct. I've never seen anybody about this. But on Tuesday I ended up in A&E with Bilary colic they said my liver blood tests came back raised. Has anyone sorted it

Liver Stones
I had my Gallbladder taken out in Feb 2019. A couple of months earlier I had been very poorly and went an amazing shade of yellow. I had an ERCP done then which worked like a charm. Anyway, after 6 months my pains started to come back quite badly. Eventually I have been diagnosed with stones. I have

Possible gallbladder problems
Hi sorry if this post is in the wrong place. I've posted on various communities before but now after speaking to my doctor yesterday she thinks I may have something wrong with my gallbladder. I've had upper abdomen pain, mostly on the right side but also across the mid to upper area of my back. This
