Outcome
Hi all, Just thought I'd let you know, I had an endoscopy today, didn't go as smoothly as I'd hoped for. They couldn't complete the procedure as my stomach was still full! I know have to go back and have another endoscopy, but first I have to go on a liquid diet for 48 hours before. As you can imagine

Feeling low after docs appointment - questioning myself again
Hi all, just had a telephone appointment with doctors to discuss my Medichecks results as shown below. I don't know why being dismissed AGAIN has upset me so much but it really has. According to him this can't possibly be a thyroid problem and my high antibodies don't indicate much and certainly not

Low stomach acid tests
I asked some questions about B12 and Diarrhoea here: https://healthunlocked.com/pasoc/posts/145437733/vit-b12-and-diarrhoea Some people came back suggesting that low stomach acid (hypochlorhydria or achlorhydria) is a cause of stomach acid. I did the sodium bicarbonate "burp" test and it seems I might

Endoscopy & ectopics

Total shambles
I was due to have an operation on my foot on Tuesday. Have had the pre op and it was identified that my platelets are low as are my white cells. They said they would order up platelets. Upshot is the condition of my sleen which is enlarged has been an issue from day 1. I understand that this is a feature

Help with ibs symptoms
Hi, I have just been diagnosed with ibs after 3 years of pain. Had countless tests, the most recent being a defecating proctogram, this showed up a full circumferential inussuception, rectocele & entrocele. I’ve also had a capsule endoscopy which showed all the markers still in my left small bowel.

Abdominal muscle spasms
I began experiencing upper abdominal muscle spasms about 5 days ago along with stomach gurgling. Has anyone else experienced this? I had a colonoscopy in March and an upper endoscopy at the end of April- no negative findings in either.

Ct scan or colonoscopy ???
I am 21 and have really bad bloating for little more of a year now. Where I can only eat small proportions of food before I get super full. My whole life, my digestion system have been normal. Now it seems slow with more constipation and loose stool. My abdomen also looks swollen from the build up. Doctors

Getting there...
Hello lovely people, I thought I would come share a positive post. I have an appointment for my endoscopy and colonoscopy next Wednesday. I'm so relieved I'm going to be able to stop eating wheat/gluten! Nervous about the colonoscopy. Embarrassing or wha. Also the prep sounds awful. The nurse told me

Variciles
Well tomorrow I will be in hospital again for my 18th endoscopy in just over 2.5 years. So far I have had over 70 variciles banded. Last time, 6 months ago, they actually didn't find any, so fingers crossed that tomorrow will be the same x
