Inulin
Hi AllLooking for some advice on Inulin...dietary fibre. Wondering wether to give it a go reading about it, seems to benefit just about everything!! Is it good for us 'Thyroids' though? Has anyone tried it? And does it cause bloatedness/flatulance/diarrhoea? If it helps constipation, cholesterol, belly

I'm 75 years old and during a colonoscopy today, my doctor found 10 precancerous plops and one, malignant-looking mass at the end of colon.
He is confident that it is cancer but doesn't know what stage. He has referred me to a good surgeon, whose office will call me next week to set up an appointment. Meanwhile, he gave me a referral for a "CT scan of chest, abdomen and pelvis with PO & IV Contrast." He wants to see if the cancer has spread

SeHCAT scan - eeek!
Got my letter through to book the SeHCAT scan. I'm just freaked out by having to go to the same clinic that caused me so much distress during colonoscopies/endoscopies. I know this won't hurt and logically I don't need to worry but I can't help it.🙄

Bowel preparation before surgery
Hi everyone! 💛 Just been on pre op assessment and nurse said I don’t need to do bowel preparation at home. I will have hysterectomy with bowel resection and Endo excision. Has anyone had bowel preparation at hospital just before the operation? I am quite concerned what is going on 🤷♀️

Just saying hello as a new member
I thought all of that was behind me but, 10 years later…. here we are 💔 For me, it presented as a
bowel
obstruction
which they say is ultra rare with only 3% or fewer experiencing metastasis of breast cancer to the colon.

Colon Journey
I thought I’d share my journey leading up to this point and I hope to continue to update as things move along. I hate it when nobody updates. Timeline: 12 years ago: After my first daughter turned 1 I went to the bathroom with blood in stool. It was super bright red and a lot. Went to the doctor and

Macrogol (Dulcoease)
Hi, has anyone else found that laxative treatments containing Macrogol increases their pain and bloating considerably? I have just been put on this and Mebeverine, but am still in a lot of pain, which seems worse when I take Macrogol. Thanks

Was wondering how to get tested for sibo and if this can cause really excessive wind that is extremely bad smelling, noisy stomach upon eating dairy and bloody stools with alot of bloating in the stomach. Also does it cause a high calprotectin result.Any advice will be most appreciated. Thank you all

Hospital discharge re: food
My mum diagnosed with psp in Jan has been in hospital nearly 4 weeks after having
bowel
obstruction
operation. Communicating with the hospital staff about her psp has been exhausting - they finally got it when I suggested aspiration could be fatal!
