Asthma and Reflux
Hi My first post and just wondering if anyone here has reflux or heartburn with their asthma ? I am on Seretide 250 twice a day and after inhaling through a spacer, I rinse my mouth and swallow water to make sure I have no residue in my mouth or throat. It does not help because I always speak with

Awaiting phone call from GP
Hi friends I get so much sound advice from this group and your help is invaluable. As I have already posted I was diagnosed with Cirhossis following a routine blood test and a fibroscan (17kpa)as the results of the blood test showed many abnormalities. I am on 6 monthly reviews with the consultant

Finally diagnosed after twenty years!
I have finally got a diagnosis of IBS after at least twenty years of endoscopies, colonoscopies, scans, investigations, etc, etc. Strangely I feel much better even though they say it's a lifelong condition with no cure. My problem today is that it's after half past six in the evening, I have had one

Salofalk foam enema - should I feel it?
Thanks in advance if anyone has experience using foam enemas - in particular, Salofalk. I just had colonoscopy and endoscopy 2 days ago after suffering a UC flare up as a result of COVID with intestinal symptoms in November. Was very shocked and disappointed to learn that my ulcerative proctitis has

Endoscopy
Can anyone tell me if as a Lupus patient with other complex health issues whether I should take antibiotics as a cover in case of infection prior to endoscopy?

stomach acid
I don't understand this stomach acid 'thing'. I take a proton pump inhibitor for high stomach acid but people insist that as you get older you're stomach acid reduce. I'm 79. Also that doctors erroneously mistake low stomach acid for high!! What is going on? Any thoughts

Beware of Lansoprazole
I have taken this drug for years for acid reflux. Last year, during a medical check, it was found that my blood count was so low it was almost at needing a transfusion level. I was put on Ferrous Fumarate which brought my level up but my ferritin level is still low. I had an endoscopy and it was discovered

Consultant doesn’t feel it’s necessary to find cause of gastritis/gastropathy following endoscopy. Does this sound right?
Hi everyone As per the subject heading I’m aware that (from past experience) I’m probably expecting too much. I do feel though that there MUST be other things that could have been tested for or mentioned. Following my endoscopy the lab report states:- A. D2 biopsy (4 biopsies) B. Gastric fundus

Been on Firmagon with Zytiga and Prednisone PSA rising, what can I do next?

In need of support for information
Im so sorry for the long post. In November of 2023 I started noticing difficulties when swallowing. Stomach pain, discomfort. I went to the doctor and was order to get a barium swallow, which showed some narrowing on my esophagus. Then I got an endoscopy that confirmed and benign stricture on my esophagus

I am new to this sight . Having B12 every 10 weeks since 2019 .. took 2 years to feel better and lose majority of symptoms. Diagnosed with IFA deficiency.. why do I get periods when I feel well and then get a dip even after a B12 jab ? I am wondering if I should be taking folate (folic acid) ? I also

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

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
