Does anyone take supplements only for UC and IBS-C rather than prescription drugs?
I was diagnosed with UC about 20 years ago and have been in remission for a while but have constipation. I'm prescribed Mezavant XL and docusate sodium, when I remember to take them. I've also been taking slippery elm and psyllium husk more often as prefer to take this in an attempt to keep me regular

Blood in stool, curious
I just turned 40 and recently pooped a little hard thing with blood in the middle and a mucus tail. I fished it out and bagged it up. I have been constipated a while now but thought it was from a medication I'm taking. Now I'm a little concerned and curious if anyone can tell me it's nothing. I'm a healthy

How long after might I have a bowel movement?
Hi, Does anyone know how long after a cleared volvulus (sigmoidoscope and decompression) should I be having a bowel movement? I had diarrhoea initially, but nothing substantial in 3+ days, currently there is clear fluid and gas coming out. As someone who is nearly always constipated, should I take the

Delighted to be still here after my sell buy date!!!!
Hi everyone. I haven't been on here for a while but I thought I'd just update you on my situation. In September my weekly Taxol chemo treatment was stopped as it was not working. I was told that I had about 6 months life expectancy. Despite an emergency hospital admission and subsequent palliative radiotherapy

Small frequent bowel movements.
Been having stools like this 3 times every morning since the pandemic started..... Now I’m freaking out thinking I have cancer if the bowels. Stool really mushy requiring a lot of wiping. Some times I notice spots of blood on the tissue. Anxiety through the roof.

Thank you everyone for your repsonses, I am most grateful for your taking time to respond. It's almost a relief to know that I am not alone in finding water vapour in the bathroom, and the outdoors an issue. I am not sure whether that this is something that the medical profession are aware of, or even

Diet advise to beat rectal cancer

I have had two doses of the chemotherapy treatment already, and still have others including radiotherapy scheduled. I would like to know if there are things to eat, and diet

Horizant Advice Please
I had my first dose last night and had a horrendous night, twitching and little sleep. How many days should I take it, before I give it up completely? I wouldn't say it was an allergic reaction, but just not the one I was hoping to get. The doctor told me to stop the Gabepentin cold turkey, which I did

Passive vaping: an impending threat to bystanders.
Electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes), also known as vapes, are gaining popularity among youths in many parts of the world, including the US and Europe. These young vapers are often unaware their e-cigarettes contain nicotine, an addictive substance that is also present in tobacco cigarettes. Little

CT ABDOMEN WITH GASTROGRAFFIN
Hello - had a Faecal Calprotectin result of 304 ug/g so I am having the above CT next week. I have never heard of this, and the prep looks worse than the one for a Colonoscopy! The instructions made me laugh - this is not a laxative but may cause diarrhoea - has anyone out there had one of these scans

Terrified I have rectal/colon cancer
Hi Everyone, For the past 10 days I’ve had a lot of symptoms that have me terrified I have cancer. I’ve been crying a lot. Sorry for the lengthy message. It started with insane amounts of mucus/pus coming out of my rectum. This also kept making me feel I had to poop, but it was just mucus throughout
