Cholestyramine
My husband has had explosive diarrhea since mid February. After blood tests, stool samples, colonoscopy, and more stool samples, they are not able to determine what is causing the diarrhea. The doctor has prescribed Cholestyramine. Has anyone had experience with this medication and did it help?

What's considered the best time to take a blood test, to check levels?
Hi there, general query, but wondered what the best routine/time is to take a blood test to check thyroid levels. I've usually taken my own tests in the morning about 9.30am, but I've always done this after taking my thyroid meds at 7am that same morning. Having read a few messages on here, I'm beginning

If my blood test show I have no inflammation, could this explain why Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) did not work for me?

What percentage is this T4 results?
Thia is my daughter's t4 result from a private health check she has just paid for. Her TSH was 4.5. I have been trying to persuade her to increase her levothyroxine given that her GP doesn't seem to know much but she has held off until now. She is going to her GP again now with me advising her to be

Results. Advice please.
Hello, I have my recent blood test results as follows: FT4 <1.3pmoL/L 10.8 -25.5 TSH 0.09mIU/L 0.27-4.2 FT3 5.2pmol/L 3.1-6.8 I am still really hypo. Could this just be down to low vitamins and minerals.

Vitamin D levels
Hi guys, have a blood test at my GP tomorrow morning after I sent a message about getting my Vit D, Folate, Ferritin, B12 etc tested Is it the case now that if deficient, GPs won't treat? My levels a couple of years ago were 16 so very deficient Just worried if it comes back that low again, that GP

Endocrine Nurse appointment but no plan in place plus weight loss
Hi everyone It's me again. I hope you are all doing ok. Last time I posted I was feeling really unwell on my dose of T3 but had an upcoming appointment on 6th March. On the day it was a different Endocrine Nurse who I didn't know & was difficult to understand due to her accent but basically told me

just below normal Vit D symptoms
My husband has been suffering fatigue, low mood, and poor sleep over the last few months. Quite comprehensive blood tests only showed that his D3 level is just insufficient at 49, when acceptable levels should be 50+. Is it possible that his symptoms could be down to his D level? GP recommended he supplements

B12 and Ferritin
I said I would post after my haematology consultation. I had a ferritin infusion in February after suspecting that I was ferritin/iron deficient as a result of research into ranges etc. I discovered that 30 can be regarded as ferritin deficient, a lot more than the bottom of the range 11 regarded as

Stage 4 fibrosis of the Liver
I contracted Hepatitis A in 2020, undiagnosed for 2 months. Six months later I was told I had NALD and last year I was sent for ultrasound scans and blood tests to check for cancer. In March this year, I was told I had Stage 4 Fibrosis of the liver. Does anyone know if this can be reversed, any treatments

I am aware that everyone is entitled to copies of blood test results from the GP.Does this entitlement apply to hospital blood tests? E.g. Endocrinologist Does anyone know 🙏 please.

Blood Test Results
Hi I have trouble getting a GP appointment - in that I never get one. Test results are relayed via the receptionist so never any opportunity to ask questions. This is the latest test and as a result I've been told to vary my dose (normally 125mcg) taking 100mcg alternate days, 125mcg on the others.

Roseway labs
Do Roseway Labs request GP details and ask to write to them? Also, if I request T3, will they need proof that I am taking T4? If so, what proof do they require and how do I submit it? My last blood test was 7 weeks ago, is this too far away if this is what is required? I would be grateful for information
