IBS and B12
good evening, I hope everyone is doing well I am wondering about the link between B12 deficiency and IBS. I have been getting bi weekly injections for almost 2.5 years now. Doing fairly well and the vast majority of my symptoms and nerve issues have subsided. I have no tested positive for PA but

Update on colonoscopy
I posted a few weeks ago about an aborted colonoscopy due to onset of AF triggered by stress of bowel cleansing prep (Moviprep). The objective of procedure was to see if any gastric issue causing blood loss / anaemia/ very low iron. Consultant keen to try again but this time agreed to use CT colonography

Colonoscopy report
Hi folks, I had my colonoscopy this morning, no sedation, didn't even need gas and air. Hopefully this will reassure those of you waiting for one. The prep wasn't as bad as last time. Maybe they've improved things since then. I didn't mind the taste of the Moviprep, though it was too sweet and because

Hi I am a 31 year old. This year I started having vag. discharge , cramps and stomach issues , among other symptoms and was found by ob to have a 12 cm ovarian cystoma. This was removed and has not come back. I was referred to GI because months later I still have stomach issues. I have had constipation

Hi all My specialist feels like I have IBS. I have had constant bloating for 7 months; eating makes it worse and my stomach is always distended regardless of whether I eat anything. Had colonoscopy and results were fine. I am waiting on results of CT scan as final check. Is it normal to have a constantly

My decision on Radiotherapy -v- Prostatectomy
I hope this story might be useful to others. I'm based in the UK and had a PSA of 12.7 from a test in June 2023. That led to an MRI in August with a PI-RADS of 5 with irregularity on the front of the prostate. I eventually had a biopsy at the end of September after 3 cancellations (this was through the

Advice for chronic constipation
My symptoms are so much better since my laparoscopy 9 months ago but I’m still constipated all. the. time. My surgeon has told me repeatedly that he’s very confident he removed all present endo and that there was none on my bowel. I’ve had a colonoscopy and MRI which have come back fine, aside from

Colonoscopy and pred
I'm having a colonoscopy on Thursday. I have been told to leave off the 2mg pred I take early morning until after the procedure (the appointment is for 10.30am). The same for all my other meds except amlodipine which I can still take. I think their reasoning is that I'm not allowed to eat anything after

Runny eyes after virtual colonoscopy
I had a virtual CT scan on 2nd January. I was given intravenous buscopan and imaging fluid. Yesterday my eyes were watery and very slightly sore (they still are today). I was given an information sheet about going to A&E if I developed very red eyes and sight disturbance. My symptoms don’t match but

Pain in Right Abdomen
Hello there, I have been battling a mysterious illness and haven’t got any real answer from doctors. For the past 6+ months I have been experiencing pain in my right side as well as debilitating nausea. At first I thought it could be my ovaries as I have a history of PCOS but have had two ultrasounds

Did your colonoscopy give you answers?
Did you have a colonoscopy? If so, did it come back clear and the doctor attributed your symptoms to IBS? Did the colonoscopy help you find answers and relief?

Octasa / Mesalazine - Should I be seeing more of a change?
Hello. I have struggled with symptoms for 2 years - loose, frequent bowels, always with urgency, fatigue, etc. Had colonoscopy and relevant tests and doctor says that I likely have crohns and is treating me as such. I had steroids for 3 months which generally helped (though my calprotectin was higher

What are "normal" bowel movements?
With IBS have you noticed your stool never looks the same? Has anyone seen a change in how their stools look? Do they seem erratic, every day they look different? Sometimes it's thinner, sometimes it's not as long, sometimes it's short, sometimes it's weird shaped like a J...etc. Have you had a
