Esomprazole, stomach issues and calcium deficiency
When I was diagnosed with PMR in March 2021, I was prescribed Omeprazole and Alendronic Acid. The Omeprazole made sense as I have a history of stomach upsets. I resisted the AA until a DEXA scan identified osteoporosis and osteopenia. I switched to Risedronate because I could not tolerate the AA. I

Thrombocytosis…..ET? UPDATE
Hi everyone, so it’s been over a year since my last post and in that time my high platelets saga is still ongoing…. I have been quiet on here as I’ve struggled terribly with stress and anxiety about it all and found that distraction by not talking about it was my best way of coping….until now…. So here

Stopped Omeprazole before endoscopy and have a big increase in heartburn
I’m due for an endoscopy on Tuesday. The nurse I saw at the hospital prior to this said to stop taking the Omeprazole (I forget how long before procedure I was supposed to stop). I got an appointment almost straight away and I’ve not been taking the Omeprazole for 4 days now and I’ve realised how much

Compensated or Decompensated
I was diagnosed in May 2019 with Cirrhosis and my Hepatologist told me it was Compensated and I would be monitored in the liver clinic every 6 months (the pandemic put paid to that plan). I've subsequently had two endoscopies which show six varices, one of which shows some evidence of past bleeding.

does Ibrance cause gastritis? FODMAP diet helps diarrhea from Ibrance.
I have estrogen positive MBC since 2018 and on Ibrance and Faslodex since that time. I have been in remission for 18 months. one year ago I had a colonoscopy and endoscopy which showed severe stomach inflammation. My symptoms were persistent nausea and frequent diarrhea. I took a course of proton pump

Hiatus Hernia
I had a endoscopy on Thursday. I have a sliding hiatus hernia, oesophagitis/reflux and gastritis. Does anyone suffer with this and does anyone manage this without taking prescription drugs?

Brief update on my lower Intestinal Tract Capsule Endoscopy.
Just to let you know that the procedure went fine. Although the camera was a little larger than an Omega 3 high strength capsule, I found that with the right mindset I swallowed it easily. The staff were a little disconcerted about my long term steroid use and the possibility of an adrenal crisis and

Gut is now at metaplasia stage and it's irreversible. Need advice, friends.
Hello, It has been some time since I last wrote so I will refresh your memories a bit. In a nutshell, I was diagnosed with autoimmune atrophic gastritis two years ago which caused PA and b12 deficiency. I take 1000 mcg B12 cyanocobalamin once daily but sometimes twice if I'm feeling poorly at the end

oesophageal cancer / PET scan
Hello, my relative had an endoscopy which found an 8cm tumour and they’ve taken 10 biopsies. He has w PET scan in a few days. 8cm seems big and I’m unsure where this puts him in terms of prognosis/spread. I wondered how long it can take for results following the PET scan if anyone has experience? Thanks

Itchy skin with no rash
Wondering if anyone else has itchy skin? I've been SI B12 for a year and been feeling much better for the last 3 months, so reducing injections to 1 per week (sometimes less). However, in the last few weeks I have had terribly itchy skin, particularly around my front trunk but also in my scalp, hands
