any way to increase ferritin without increasing iron saturation?
after two months of taking iron supplements (75mg every other night on empty stomach), my ferritin rose from 51 to 158. Unfortunately, my iron saturation rose from 46% to 59%. This is caused by fairly high iron (172) and fairly low transferrin (291), though both are within normal range. My doctor

Autophagy could be bad for those who have cancer?
I was already aware for a few years that autophagy, which is triggered by intermittent fasting and long fasts, is very useful to prevent cancer as it is recycles old damaged proteins that could otherwise turn into cancer and also because it helps your body produce new cells and refreshes your immune

I’ve had ongoing stomach pains for over 2 years, had ct scans, sigmoidoscopy, endoscopy, nasal gastosgraphy plus mri scan . I have a sliding hiatus hernia which my doctor thought was the problem, but they couldn’t find it ! Hospital have said all tests are fine, and abdominal pain is due to something

Gastroscopy aftermath!
I had a gastroscopy yesterday evening. He went down into my stomach and small intestine. I've had a few of these in the past - the last one 20 years ago. I cannot remember feeling quite so bruised and sore as I did last night and still do. He took a biopsy and so I know my stomach will be sore and will

Hello, I was wondering how to tell if you need b12 injections when you take oral b12 and your serum b12 always comes out looking great? I haven't had it tested recently but past tests always come out way over the range. Anyway, I saw a post by @Marz in which she said that she takes b12 due to having

I have panic disorder and agoraphobia. They say that stress can cause heart attack takotsubo syndrome even if I have a healthy heart. I'm constantly afraid of being scared because of this situation, please help me in case I get too scared and die.

Stomach issues
I just had to tell this story, I’m sure plenty of us have experienced being fobbed off with different diagnoses before being diagnosed with endo, however I’ve just experienced the opposite way around. I was diagnosed with endo and adenomyosis in November of last year, this weekend I fell really ill

Crohns diagnosis
Hi I just wondered if there is anyone who have struggled to get a diagnosis? I have now been referred to a consultant who suspects I have crohns as my calproctin was over 900 and I have been suffering with diarrhoea and a lot of stomach pain for the last 2 months where I haven’t been able to go to work

Hi I've had ibs c for so so long. Over the years I've learnt what does and doesn't suit me with my diet. I'm now mainly ok in comparison but also as I've got older I get bouts of diarrhea which I know are from eating foods that don't agree with me. I had a fair amount of cream cake over Christmas I'm
