GORD but with no noticeable regurgitation or acid taste?
I have recently been diagnosed with GORD/GERD as my oesophagus is inflamed. Apparently i have had it for years. The reason the diagnosis took so long is that the doctors and specialist would ask me about regurgitation and the acidic taste in my mouth, and i'd say that i never get that, just a painful

tummy issues
I’m on Losartan and Felodipine for high blood pressure since 2021. But I am having nausea and upper tummy pain. GP prescribed Omeprazole which I’ve been taking since November. Nausea better but tummy pain still bad at times. I think it’s the medication but the pharmacist at GP surgery says not. Does

Diagnosed with ARLD cirrhosis decompensated July 2022. Any helpful tips or advice would be greatly appreciated
I presented to GP with ascities, jaundice and pain in around abdomen. Sent me straight to hospital. Had not been feeling well for a year or so and was putting it down to perhaps the start of menopause or heamacromatosis which is in my family. I had also relapsed after many years of recovery but had to

Some Blood Results are in...? Hmmm,,...?
Hi Folks I had a range of tests this week, FBC, TSH, Liver function, Kidney function, Vit D, Potassium, and Folate. But no Active B12 or Active Iron or IF test. The MMA result has yet to come in. Here are the results of the B12, but also the others that ( to me ) are the below range or low

Capsule endoscopy.
Hi, I had a capsule endoscopy on the 19th of December and with new year and Christmas I expected a wait for the results to come back. I rang my consultant's secretary to find out what was happening. She stated that the consultant would write to me about the results in March! A bit about me. I have

Referral Gastroenterologist
Hello I have recently been referred to a gastroenterologist. I have had bloods, endoscopy and pelvic exams and all have come back clear. 🙌🏽 Prescribed famotidine and lansoprazole which take the edge off but does not relieve me of the tight/bloated sensation so next steps are referral. Has anyone

GCA after biopsy
hi I got put on Prednisolone just before Xmas waiting for a biopsy that was positive 2 weeks ago. My question is, I feel like I have a gastritis feeling, never hungry. In fact I’m forcing myself to eat anything. I’m currently on 20mg which even at this dose I’m struggling with. I always thought steroids

Depressed because of my breathing issues. I don't know where to go from here...
My breathing issue started atleast 2 years and 10 months ago. I was in the kitchen, and i remember i exhaled and heard a crackly sensation coming from my throat. Did not think much of it, but as time went on, it got worst, and i was able to pin point it to my left lung. After trying so many medications

Update in current treatment!
After bloods & stool samples I'm declared normal😅 the Dr says my thyroid is stable so need to worry. I don't think they listen as I believe the thyroid & acid reflux goes hand in hand, so I'm to have an endoscopy to see why I continue with symptoms meanwhile back on the lansoperzole (off for 4weeks)

Erosive Gastritis Anyone - Prednisolone
Hello! Wonder if my trusty friends can help? I have been suffering with intolerable wind, bloating and diarrhoea for well over a year, with my gastroenterologist fobbing me off at every turn. Now, as an aside from an upper endoscopy for different reasons, I have now been diagnosed with erosive

non cardiac chest pain?
I have been advised following treadmill, echocardiograms , CT scan and MRI stress test that my occasional ( at least monthly chest discomfort) is not a blood supply issue as only mild plaque build up ( I am 62 male). They did find an ascending aortic aneurysm that I am seeing a heart surgeon about and

I’ve lost my faith in the NHS altogether.
I put a post up 4 months ago about Isosorbide Mononitrate regarding unstable angina. I had to wait 3 months to see my cardiologist. As my unstable angina was getting worse, I decided to go private, as I was going to A&E too often and getting nowhere. Not one medic in A&E could help me. And after speaking

advice for coming off meds, before endoscopy procedure.
Firstly HNY everyone! I had HA & 5 stents fitted 7 months ago. I now have an appointment to have a endoscopy procedure this week& have been told to come off the two blood thinners I’m on. Plavex & asprin, for one week, which I’m afraid to do. I’ve tried getting in touch with the gastroenterologist

Newly diagnosed
I still feel unsure as the information I have been given is quite sketchy. My initial fibroscan in July 2022 seemed to be quite disconcerting as had a liver stiffness of 41.9Kpa with CAP 400, which apparently is the most they could record, so was a little concerned. But nothing was really discussed
