Intrinsic factor and GPC antibodies
I have a question about my test results, I was hoping someone here could help explain to me what it might mean because I’m not confident the doctors I’m seeing know anything about this stuff. I had a low b12 level (175), along with high homocysteine and high methylmalonic acid. I was then tested for

Manuka honey and IBS
I’ve had IBS for well over 30 years now and the last few years have been pretty good. Under control with diet and Laxido. However, from September last year my anxiety disorder sky rocketed because of various really stressful events (too much to talk about here). I’m also in trauma counselling. I ended

Emergency operation
So after the initial diagnosis in 2016 and the usual treatment, I'd had 4 1/2 years of ok health but continous and troublesome constipation. I was being regularly monitored and ct scans showing no problems. No one was concerned so I slept easy at night. I continued to take unsuccessfully in that time

Update Colonoscopy
I had my colonoscopy today glad is over! LOL so everything looks normal they didn’t find anything they took some biopsies. They found a small polyp 3mm in size in my rectum which they remove. Just waiting on results for biopsies. Dr. recommends to have a capsule endoscopy next to look in the small intestine

Do parietal cell antibodies mean autoimmune gastritis and should you get regular endoscopy?
Hi, I'm new to posting here and this is my first post. I was diagnosed with hashimoto's (under-active thyroid) in 2004 and the doctor investigating at the time also found parietal cell antibodies (PCA) and sent me for an endoscopy to rule out pernicious anaemia and coeliacs. The endoscopy was normal

Been dealing with an issue for 14 months and can’t get diagnosed!! Opinions and thoughts needed!
Hi all, thought I’d reach out and share what I assume is a gastro-related issue that I’ve been dealing with for a while (approx 2 years), in hope to get some ideas and direction on how to get this diagnosed and treated within the NHS - because so far, with all the visits to the GP, trips to the hospital

New member not diagnosed.
Hello everyone, I'm a new member here who's spent the last couple weeks researching liver disease, reading your stories, trying to prepare myself for what I may have to look forward to. A little back story. I'm a 38 year old disabled combat veteran. I sustained a traumatic brain injury while in Iraq

Input would be greatly appreciated.
I'd be grateful of any advice to help me be prepared with the correct information before I contact my GP surgery. I've already received invaluable information from Forum members and the Pernicious Anaemia Society have been a lifesaver. Please excuse my long story and any over sharing of information

Day before I have biopsy taken of what is on my lungs, by going down my throat.
Tomorrow my endoscopy shall be at 2.30. So today I’m going to do my painting by numbers. I’ve finished the yellow lab puppy. I’ve been self isolating since my hospital COVID test on Sunday. I have been missing my cycling as consultant advised me not to. I was just starting again - after a 6 mths break

Advice about bisoprolol please
Has anyone been told just to stop taking bisoprolol and aspirin? I had a heart ct scan 2 weeks ago and a subsequent call from the cardiologist to say that the results were good, my heart was ok and to stop taking the bisoprolol and aspirin. Can I just stop just like that? I've been taking them for a
