Scared and confused
Hi, I just had laparoscopic surgery to have my Gullbladder removed 1 week ago but I'm feeling a lot of pain/ discomfort on my lower left abdomen where I had a Sigmoid colon resection a year ago ???? Feeling panicked so went to Emergency had a C T scan they said all looked good nothing concerning in there

Bowel Cancer Screening
Thank you everyone for your replies. I made the mistake of looking on the internet and a site webmd which is where I read about aspirin and even certain foods. It doesnt mention anything in the leaflets. I was interested to see the screening is offered from 50 in Scotland. Thats quite a difference.

Bowel Cancer Screening test
Hi All, I have just received my kit for bowel cancer screening to do at home ( lovely birthday gift on turning 60). Just reading advice on things to do before doing tests and it says don't take aspirin for 7 days before doing test as it can make it appear you have hidden blood and so give false positive

The hunt for Aspirin alternatives.... Pycnogenol?
Having recently been diagnosed with low risk ET (low risk of clotting, JAK2/CALR neg, platelet count around 740), my hematologist prescribed 1 x 75mg Aspirin per day with quarterly blood tests. I am notoriously bad with medication and will generally always experience the worst of any listed side effects

Gabapentin and Yasmin
Hello, Has anyone been on both pills above and experienced Constipation? It's been a struggle to even go once a day and my stomach hurts. I started taking both pills around the same time. I've been like this for about nearly 4 weeks.

Bowel irrigation
Has anyone had any experience of this? I`m seeing a very helpful physiotherapist who specialises in bowel retraining etc and thinks it should help with my problem of incomplete evacuation & tendency to constipation. In particular she wants me to try the Qufora Irrisedo Mini. Please don`t give me any

IBS?? Or what?
I have had trouble on and off with my digestive system for longer than 10 years during which time I have had 3 endoscopes and 3 colonoscopies ( the latest was last week and am currently awaiting results ) The previous investigations ruled out cancer for which I am grateful but I have not had much success

Celevac
Does anyone have any experience of Celevac for constipation? I need a bulk laxative and fibogel is no good for me. Normacol gives me cramps and so does linseed. Magnesium is horrible! I have bought some Celevac but am wary of using it.

Bleeding piles
My GP had diagnosed internal piles alongside my (minor) IBS. The annoying thing is if I give into the temptation of a couple of cups of good coffee as well as IBS symptoms I'll be bleeding. They did initially give me some (non-prescription) suppositorys for them but it made my IBS worse. Has anyone

Colon Cancer & surviving Chemo
I was diagnosed with Colon Cancer last June, did 8 Chemo treatments and surgery. Removed some Colin and left ovarie along with 23 lymph nodes, 22 were positive for cancer. Now having back pain and constipation, I'm using ibeprofen, but worried about the side effects of ibeprofen.

Colon cancer?
The gastro specialist thought I had a palpable colon in the left iliac fossa. Also maybe diverticulitis. Hasn't sent me for tests. The strong dull pain, discomfort in my stomach has just gotten worse over this weekend so worried as to what this can be? It seems to be in the middle of my stomach rather

I'm hoping for some advice.
Hello everyone, i'm glad to find a community like this to come to. My mother has just had surgery for bowel cancer (R hemicolectomy plus bilateral oopherectomy although no news on the ovaries yet) 10 days ago. She has done really well and feels emotionally ready for the possibility of chemo but doesn't
