IBS Glucomanna Highly Recommended!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just a tip, I've been struggling with constipation for years and tried all possible diets and products available out there, no one really help enough and often they made symptoms even worse. I finally tried Glucomannan which is the root of a japanese veggetable, I think, and can't believe the results

This joke is offered in the hope that women will love it and men will pass it on to women who will love it!

A woman was sitting at a bar enjoying an after work cocktail with her girlfriends,when Richard, a tall, extremely handsome, extremely sexy middle aged man entered. Richard was so striking that the woman could

Bowels, Botox and a Bowel Transplant Symposium
If I am to be totally honest the last week or so since my last post has been a bit tough in my bowel transplant world. It felt a little like watching my football team QPR last season. Hoping for a run of success but sadly each match ending in defeat and subsequent supporter frustration. However unlike

Do I really need to have 2 operations?
I saw my new gynae at the end of June who said it would need to be a full resection of the
bowel
and it needs to happen because of the risk of
obstruction
. But the thing is I'm booked in for an op this Thursday to stage and possibly remove any endo he finds.

If you can't face the thought of having a colonoscopy...
...go for the alternative which is a virtual version called CT colonography. The procedure is available on the NHS, but I think you have to fight your corner to get one done.The following info is from NICE: 'CT colonography is used to examine the colon and rectum, and detect abnormalities

Hi Everyone, I wondered about tiredness - how long does it take to recover from major ops? Its been 8 months since my last one.
I had my mastectomies last year and am now back at work getting on with my life.Understandably every ache and pain or symptom becomes a question mark about cancer. So I am trying not to get anxious about this hence this question. No chemo or radiotherapy. I feel like I haven't quite got back to my old

The value of the patient
Aside from the ups and downs of being a bowel transplant patient these last two weeks have been a welcome change from focusing on my own health challenges. Whilst phosphate levels continue to yoyo and my medical team and I grapple with bile salt levels, bacterial overgrowth, stomach dysmotility and now

what is tiotropium?
I have been to the Doc's with what I thought was a throat infection but I was wrong, the symptoms are a tight constricted throat with the feeling of a lump and shortness of breath, my friend suggested it may be anxiety which is more than likely. I have been prescribed tiotropium inhaler, the only other

Is it IBS?
Hi All I posted on 23 March that I had been diagnosed with bowel cancer, this was incorrect, it is anal cancer. I had never had a colonoscopy or scan for the so called IBS and when I eventually did have them the anal cancer was found. It appears that me GP was confused in that the Bowel Cancer Screening

Human carcinogens to treat CLL?
Someone asked me about this recently... Funny ...I never thought of chlorambucil and cyclophosplomide as human carcinogens, but they are.... I always viewed then as doing good, which they do.... http://ntp.niehs.nih.gov/ntp/roc/twelfth/profiles/Cyclophosphamide.pdf

CAN ANAEMIA CONTRIBUTE TO BREATHLESSNESS IN SIGNIFICANT WAY?
Watching a wildlife programme a few days ago I saw a report that seals/sea lions can stay underwater up to 45 minutes due to the rich haemoglobin levels in their blood. I have always had a tendency towards anaemia, and have severe COPD, so I wondered if taking iron tablets could help the condition?

New drug trial
Novartis International AG ( NVS ) said the 64-week SPARK study results demonstrated that investigational once-daily dual bronchodilator QVA149 was more effective at reducing all chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or COPD exacerbations, compared with glycopyrronium 50 mcg and open-label or OL tiotropium

Saw oncologist
Hi all. Just a quick update. Saw my oncologist a few days ago, and she has extended my appointment interval from 3 months to 4 months. Very pleased. She did mention that there is a bit more evidence about aspirin (and hence ibuprofen) preventing spread (metastases) in colon cancer patients.

Bizarre!!
I was diagnosed two years ago with RA following short illness with
bowel
obstruction
due to adhesions which seemed to set RA off. I have been well controlled on plaquenil for 6mts but never symptom free.
