H Pylori - Omeprazole - Stomach Acid - Thyroid
Hi all, My dad is 72 and has been suffering with persistent diarrhea ever since he was prescribed long term steriods along with PPI Omeprazole. I suspect that the Omeprazole resulted in low stomach acid which he still suffers from today (did baking soda home test, took 6mins 40 for him to burp!). He

CA19.9 Tumor markers and Prostate Cancer
Hi group, I was wondering if anyone knows if there is a link between blood test CA19.9 and prostate cancer. A bit of background I have been on AS since December 2021 where I made some life style changes, mainly diet and exercise since being diagnosed. My PCA has gone from 3.1, 3, 2.3, 2.0 and the

Private FIT test recommendation
Hi, I'm still very much in that 'more questions than answers' phase regarding my health with a mix of thyroid, anaemia and perimenopause issues going on. Due to repeated low iron over many years, I'm thankful the NHS is now looking into the cause and I have a colonoscopy and gastroscopy arranged

Periods after birth
This wasn’t normal for me, prior to birth, I was regular every 28 days and bled for 5-6 days I am currently under the care of my GP, have had bloods taken, examination, and have
colposcopy
booked and pelvic ultrasound… But I’m trying to understand in advance, what could be possibly causing this?

on 3.5mgs of Prednisolone & having a colonoscopy with sedation on Saturday. Should I increase my dose of pred beforehand?
Hi all, looking for advice from you lovely knowledgeable people. I’ve tapered down from 10mg in June last year to 3.5mg 2 weeks ago with no problems, (apart from pains in my legs during the night, but I think that might be something else). I often wonder if the PMR might actually be in remission because

T and PSA basically undetectable. Is adding testosterone or having a colonoscopy 3 years post treatment a good or bad idea for the elderly?
Cancer in late 2019 was G9 with no indication of escaping the capsule. PSA was <10. Treatment initially casodex followed by one session high dose brachy, 25 sessions IMRT and 18 months Lupron. Currently PSA undetectable and T still <2.5. Pushing through a regular exercise routine but have no energy

Procedure Update
my colonoscopy went well despite the sharp poking that I felt. I have a tortuous colon of which I guess it has a few more twists and turns than normal. I also have diverticulosis in the sigmoid colon. I had several polyps removed consisting in a range of 3 to 7mm. So I will wait for biopsies on all

GCA since Feb. 2018 ---mid-transfer from one roller coaster to another. Its tricky.
I believe my GCA is under control. I am down to 5 mg of prednisone, and on that aspect, feel good. It has taken a year to settle into 5mg, and I hope others will read this and realize that sometimes it just takes a long time to get the dose down. I appreciate all the support from you folks.

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

Sudden colitis
Hi all, I have been in hospital for 2.5 weeks after a sudden bout of diarrhoea (16-17x a day), abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting. I just had a sigmoidoscopy which showed colitis but the dr’s are still unsure whether this is IBD or due to an infection (Stool samples were negative for infection

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

Persistent Diarrhea. Reliable SIBO test?
My dad (72yrs) has been having persistent diarrhea ever since he was on a PPI (Omeprozole) whilst on steriods in 2019. Whilst he is no longer on the Proton Pump Inhibitor the diarrhea remains. It is daily. I suspect it is potentially due to low stomach acid which has resulted in SIBO. (He has hypothyroidism

pressure on my bladder
my story has always been diahorrea and very long floppy bowel apparently so long the tubes doing colonoscopy only managed to go half way so was advised not too have another colonoscopy as so many loops they could perforate bowel. But the last year has changed I know have chronic constipation and 2 weeks
