No to Lansoprazole
Well my GP is not prepared to issue me a prescription for Lansoprazole as she says my results from the endoscopy having been on esomeprazole for now over 3 and a half years prove that it is effective and 30mg Lansoprazole may not be so . She is willing to reconsider if the GI consultant says different

No endoscopy
Hi I hope everyone is having a positive day. I seen my consultant for the first time this week the previous 2 times with the nurse. And it is now back to the nurse for 6 monthly visits. The consultant has advised she is going to prescribe a beta blocker to help prevent varices which they have advised

What exclusionary tests should I ask my doctor for? IL-6 inflammation tests? + other random PMR questions
I'm a 44-year old woman fairly confident I have PMR due to the symptoms I've experienced & the dramatic success of prednisone in treating them. (I put a longer backstory in my profile - which I'm assuming you can access.) I worry somewhat about GCA involvement because when my symptoms have been strong

Pain after an Endoscopy
I had an endoscopy two weeks ago mainly looking to see if I needed any banding. I was lucky as this was not required and would not need another endoscopy for 3 years. The reason for my post on here is that since having the endoscopy I have endured pain in my left-hand side of the stomach as well as

Very relieved .......
I am very relieved to say that the results of the biopsy from my recent endoscopy querying suspected Barretts have come back as negative. All other biopsy also clear. I know I am extremely lucky , it has been a very worrying time and it was such a relief to be able to tell my son as well. I have

Hoping for some coping advice
Hi all, I’ve suffered with IBS for years, had colonoscopy, endoscopy and CT scan end 2021, all clear. Recently had proctitis (treated well) but now my bowels have gone crazy and new feelings I’ve never had!! Really bad bloating, gurgling, stomach cramps pain under left rib, going into back. IBS -

bile reflux
I thought I would bring you all up to speed on my endoscopy yesterday ( Friday 15 March ). I have to say I was surprised by the results, I have Bile reflux, something I didn’t even know existed. It was a bit of a shock if I am honet. So me being me , I read up about it when I got home, as most things

Is there a difference between Barrett’s tongue and barretts oesophagus ?
I have been trying to research this since my endoscopy showed “possible Barrett’s tongue” Biopsy has been taken to rule this out which I hope is a positive sign , but does anyone have experience of this term? I understand that it is associated with hiatal hernia although my reflux issues aren’t too

Very confused and don't know what to do to help my body heal
Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum and up to 6 weeks ago the only digestive concerns I had was Coeliac Disease and a sliding hiatal hernia which was discovered at my endoscopy 4 years ago. The hernia hasn't given me any bother up to this point except for the occasional bout of acid reflux every couple

Gallstones are actually a hernia/ulcers
Hi everyone, hope you are all as well as you can be. I had my endoscopy this week to see if they could find the suspected gallstones. Instead they found a large hiatus hernia, plus multiple stomach ulcers. This explains why I have been in so much pain, in a constant state of nausea, and off work for

PMR flare!
I think I may be in the midst of a flare. Haven't felt quite right for the past week or so, I am thinking due to stress over recent diagnosis of hiatus hernia and endoscopy. JOY !!! Certainly lot of the old symptoms are back, history of reducing from 10mg to 9mg with no success whatsoever and

confused?
Just want to say that although I am confused I am also thankful with the results I received following an US. Making this short I have been diagnosed with Cryptogenic cirrhosis following abnormal bloods and Fibroscan. As per NICE guidelines I have bloods taken every 6 months and US. I have also had

Recently diagnosed
Hello, My name is Amie and I am new to the group. I was just diagnosed with chronic pancreatitis in January. So far it has been a very painful, scary and frustrating experience! I never had any symptoms up until January and have been in horrendous pain ever since. Doctors in the hospital treated me

SeHCAT scan - eeek!
Got my letter through to book the SeHCAT scan. I'm just freaked out by having to go to the same clinic that caused me so much distress during colonoscopies/endoscopies. I know this won't hurt and logically I don't need to worry but I can't help it.🙄

Right side/abdominal/shoulder pain.
Approximately 3 years ago I was diagnosed with NAFLD after bloodwork for a routine endoscopy due to acid reflux issues. Since my diagnosis my doctor has performed an extensive array of labs and scans from ultrasounds to CT scans to Fibroscans. At the time of diagnosis I was drinking a lot of alcohol

More worry
😟 Report from recent endoscopy appeared to be all good, however there was a "possible" Barretts Tongue seen and so biopsy has been taken to rule Barretts out. All blood tests and tumour markers came back as normal, but I cannot help but worry about if it is Barretts and whether again it could be
