Help! I'm on the never-ending train of being diagnosed then undiagnosed with microscopic colitis, diverticulitis and severe BAM
Thank you firstly for reading my article, if you have knowledge to share then thank you for your persistent research and patience. In 2019 I was diagnosed with Microscopic colitis, in 2020 my Gp undiagnosed me as she couldn't see it on the colonoscopy pictures. I'm not educated to any Drs level but is

I'm post-menopausal and a probable endo was found as an incidental. I have no pain or anything so should I have surgery anyway?
I wouldn't have had any idea that I had an issue unless it happened to be found as an incidental on a CT scan. I don't have any pain and the only reason I did have pain is because it was diverticulitis. In the past year I've started to, on occasion when I get up in the middle of the night, have a bit

Vitamin B supplements
I recently posted my iron test results which were on the high side and therefore I didn't need to supplement and if possible I should try to bring my levels down. I am about to start taking Vitamin B supplements based on a Blue Horizon thyroid test. My question is - will B supplements increase my iron

PAIN ALONG PELVIC AREA. Diverticular or IBS C
I was diagnosed with Diverticulitis after having Colonoscopy many years ago. This has been manageable until the last 4 to 5 years. I started to have constant diarrhoea, more like IBS symptoms. No Doctor has ever diagnosed IBS but after a Sigmoidoscopy 3 years ago it was confirmed that it was severe Diverticulitis

What happens when CT scan and ultrasound can't verify if it's an ovarian mass or not?
I (post-menopausal 52 y/o) went in to urgent care about a month ago with stomach pains. Doctor thought it was a ruptured appendix, but sent me for a CT scan to verify. Turns out it was diverticulitis, but on the CT scan they noticed a a complex cyst on my left ovary, however they couldn't be sure if

It wont be long
Hi All I have seen my Consultant today and she said it is time to start thinking about treatment. Not what I wanted to hear but after 14 years W&W I guessed it would come one day. She will arrange a CT Scan to check on Tumour burden (I think thats right) then just waiting on this. TP53 - deletion

My situation
Hello, I'm a 56 yr old male living in the UK. I'm overweight but I'm a vegetarian, don't smoke and hardly drink alcohol. Last year after going to the doctors with stomach and bowel issues, I had a colonoscopy which was clear. I also had blood tests, and early this year a poo test, which were so OK.

Vitamin B12
In addition to my daily Thyroxine dose of 100mcg I have been prescribed Vit B12, 4000 mcg per day by my Endo. The chemist has dispensed Cyanocominn which I understand is a synthetic Vit B preparation and I am led to believe not a good idea to take. Should I insist the chemist dispenses only natural

Blood tests MMA, B12
A conundrum about blood tests: I know that once substituting B12 blood levels are not reliable and that MMS should be tested instead. But if not substituting B12: do high B12 levels mean that there is no deficiency or should MMS and Homocysteine always be the preferred values? (My husband has blood

update on test results
hi all so the doctor rang me and told me to lower my thyroxine down to 150 mg and she said my iron levels were 10 so on the borderline, she didn’t give me any tablets for this so I don’t know if I’m doing the right thing but I’ve bought some ferogloblin capsules with folic acid vitamin b12 and iron thanks

AF and digestive issues
Has anyone else noticed a correlation between AF and digestive issues? I have been diagnosed with Paroxysmal AF. I have begun to notice that when ever I have an episode I also have a lot of bloating and trapped wind. Is there any known correlation and causative element between digestive disorders and

B12 def
I've been B12 deficient for decades. I ended up going back to school and finishing my PhD in both pharmacology and biochemistry and focused my research for 12 years on B12.
