B12 deficiency treated before folate deficiency
Please could someone post a link supporting the importance of this fact for PhonixGrace . Explaining B12 and folate are tested together normally for a good reason. If folate is supplemented before B12 . The b12 deficiency can be masked/ missed. Nerve/neurological damage can occur . Once B12 injections

Bisacodyl
Taken Senna, Fybogel and Laxido and haven’t had any bowel movements. I’ve seen people say to take Bisacodyl as this is quite strong. What are people’s experiences with this? Does it work? When is the best time to take it?

New (to me) symptom of severe iron deficiency
I'd never heard of this before and thought it might be useful to somebody... People who are severely iron deficient can have the whites of their eyes (the "sclera") develop a blue tinge. https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/Blue-sclera-secondary-to-severe-iron-deficiency-Hassen-Chirurgi/0ae45491752fa575014a5dce5588c7acdcd2f4a7

Stomach cramps
Hi lovely ladies! My mum is 6 weeks post primary debulking surgery, and bowel resection and is still having some bowel issues. She's had pretty bad stomach cramping all day today. Is this normal? Does anyone have any tips? She's still on laxatives and drinking peppermint tea for gas. Would love to hear

Diverticulitis
Just been diagnosed with diverticulitis after colonoscopy, luckily no cancer found. Unfortunately I’m having to wear pads as I am experiencing “leaking” after a bowel movement. Any help with diet or tips, I would appreciate, as I am reluctant to take Loperamide on a regular basis.

Breakthrough with the cause of IBD - may lead to similar discoveries with other autoimmune diseases?
Just spotted this on my BBC News notifications. BBC News - Major cause of inflammatory bowel disease found https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c1wwdd6v2wjo It's written in layman's language, but seems to say they have found that there is a genetic link and that they have drugs already that might treat

Managing Pudendal Neuralgia pain
Hi all, I joined this forum to remain on top of developments around the complex pelvic floor issues affecting women and to seek support from others. In my experience these are generally poorly understood by doctors in the UK especially at consultant level and there is an absence of multi agency support

video capsule
Good morning, I’ve got to have a video capsule endoscopy in a few weeks. I wanted to know if anyone has had this procedure done please??? I'm very anxious as I have diverticulitis as well as Crohn’s disease! I know it can get stuck and if can’t be dislodged they then have to do surgery. I don’t do
