Gastro-Intestinal bleeding on anticoagulants is a sign of cancer
There's a paper just out on GI bleeding on anti-coagulants: https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/925291 Apparently there is a 10-24 times risk of colorectal cancer if you bleed from the lower GI tract whist on anticoagulants. It is actually a good news story as it's not the anticoagulant causing the

Raised GGT & ALT and generally feeling unwell.
Hi there, I'm new to all this and was wondering if anyone had any advice to try and ease my mind. I have been quite ill for a few months (bouts of diarrhoea, sickness, stomach pain and bloating and generally feeling crappy and lethargic). 3 weeks ago I ended up in excruciating pain just under my ribs

New to the IBS Forum I have chronic IBS C
Hi everyone. Although my first posting I have followed this forum for 12 months and must say it is very informative and helped me steer my way through all the information. I have also joined the IBS Network. Did not realise how many people suffer from this dreadful syndrome. I was diagnosed with IBS

Organ metastasis
I feel like I’m one of very few who has the breast cancer in my stomach and not in lungs or bone. Is there anyone else in this group with the cancer in their stomach? That was the only place they saw it, but after my second CT, the radiologist sees a very small area in my omentum by my right abdomen

I just wonder if anyone has had this problem and what to do about it. I am on nexium 40mg daily and taking an antihistamine

I'm new/Colonoscopy, bowel prep failed twice!! now constipated
The doctor wanted colonoscopy and endoscopy so I was sent to a gerontologist at the local hospital. 1. The first bowel prep of moviprep did not work. I retained the fluid and was quite ill and therefore the procedure was canceled. 2. They then prescribed picolax, which I took at1 pm then 5 pm, nothing
