positive FIT test
so I’ve been having blood in my bowel movements on and off for around 6 years. Had 2 colonoscopy’s done previously, first one had some inflammation in the TI but nothing major and second one just had hemorroids. Went for an appointment in March at the hospital and they referred me to have a sigmoidoscopy

Possible colon cancer
I'm new here. My husband went in for a colonoscopy and was told that they couldn't go through with it because he wasn't cleaned out....this is when things started. After that he had rectal bleeding continously until his rescheduled colonoscopy, which was this past Monday. During that colonoscopy the

Family History
Hi. I have had a positive FIT and have a colonoscopy booked in just over a week. My bowel habits have changed, and there are small black spots in my stool every time I go. I am also suffering from bloating and fatigue. I am just wondering how much a family history increases the chances of my symptoms

Sweetened beverages are associated with a higher risk of differentiated thyroid cancer in the EPIC cohort: a dietary pattern approach
There are many reasons to question our consumption of beverages. Not least, the huge amount of resources which go into their production, packaging and distribution and end up as waste. I think many are aware of the blood sugar issues. However, this paper suggests that there is a link between sweetened

Colonoscopy Prep
Hello, I am prepping this weekend for the procedure on Monday morning. This will be my third colonoscopy. Both of my maternal grandparents had colon cancer so I started at age 45 and go every 5 years. My prep consists of Dulcolax and Miralax mixed with sports drinks. One 238 gram bottle of miralax

Terrified of cancer not being taken seriously!
So I’ve struggled with what I thought was haemorrhoids for over a year now, with occasional blood in the toilet. As I had no other symptoms I wasn’t worried, and just used creams etc for the haemorrhoids. However, I am aware more recently I have been straining to go to the toilet but sometimes my stools

PIPS and COPD
Hi everyone. Will my PIPS be affected if I still smoke? I’m trying so hard to give up by slowly tapering off and have reduced my smoking by two thirds with the method I came up with after numerous attempts over 20 years to stop. My cravings for nicotine were just as bad every day even after two years

50% improvement
I understand we are all different, but for me Alverine Citrate has reduced my IBS symptoms by 50% e.g. diarrhoea, bloating and “eggy burps”.

unsure about diagnosis.
I am 77 and just had spirometry test and been diagnosed with severe COPD. Chest X-ray normal, sputum normal, oxygen 99%., no crackles or wheezing. No breathlessness just morning and evening chesty cough a few times which sometimes means expelling clear phlegm but not always. I have not been prescribed

Colonic irrigation - has it helped you ?
Colonic irrigation - will this help remove trapped gas issues in bowels? I don't have c or d, just severe trapped gas.. and hugely sensitive gut and stomach atm. ( Waiting for SIBO test)? Im thinking .... My kinesiologist said i had lots of poop along my colon .. might be causing blockages, especially
