Bloated belly linked to hypothyroidism?
Aside from the 14 pounds, I gained from hypothyroidism, my belly is very bloated. Tested for Celiac: negative / had an endoscopy: all okay. Now Doc wants me to do a colonoscopy. I strongly suspect all will be okay there too and that it might be related to thyroid, or lack of. I had radiation therapy

Did have both a few years ago and was all ok but had some bleeding and Recc a colonoscopy so wondered if I should

Hiatus Hernia
Hey guys, is there someone who suffers from Hiatus Hernia and GERD? How do you deal and cope with the hiatus hernia please? My gastroenterologist has claimed that I do have a hiatus hernia which the size isn't small from an endoscopy. I did the barium test also and nothing serious has been found. But

Another autoimmune disease or just the thyroid?
Hi everyone, I'll cut to the chase because this is quite a complicated issue. But your help would be really appreciated. I have Hashimoto's thyroiditis but my symptoms won't abate even when I'm in normal range. I am beginning to suspect I have another autoimmune disease for a number of reasons which

Gastro appointment got me worried
Had my first gastro appointment. Got to have blood & stool tests. He said I also need a colonoscopy & endoscopy so I’m waiting for the appointment for that to come through He said it sounds like IBS but need to rule out anything else Am nervous about the colonoscopy, especially as the info sheet

Anxiety aggravated IBS
Im told my IBS is due to chronic anxiety. Ive recently had a huge amount of tests done really more for my reassurance than anything else. Also had a colonoscopy and endoscopy. All clear results. I follow a very healthy diet, have been tested for food intolerances and avoid those foods too. So I have

I want to hear about your unsedated endoscopy ONLY!
I've read enough of the horror stories of unsedated endoscopies. Wish I hadn't but they are so easy to find. I want to hear the unsedated experiences that were not horrible. I am a small 33yo female with anxiety disorder BUT my anxiety for this upcoming procedure is only about being sedated, It stems

Confused! 😕
Hi Everyone, I'm new on here and wanted to ask if anyone else has experienced my situation. Over 6 years ago I became very unwell almost overnight. I turned yellow, got myself to A&E where I subsequently spent almost 6mnths in Hospital. Diagnosed with AIH, it hit suddenly and almost destroyed my liver

Imaging false negative?
Anyone here experience false negatives on imaging tests? For example, had an US, MRI, endoscope all come back negative/normal but end up catching something on liver biopsy? Curious as I have a biopsy coming up and anxiety is really starting to ramp up. Appreciate everyone on here - great site and

Brand new, out of the box
I’ve been feeling unwell for months, being looked at funny, implying that I can’t handle the pressure or that I’m close to a mental breakdown. Coming home crying after a huge amount of effort to get out of bed that morning. Struggling with allergies, that tingling feeling in your face, the fact that

Endoscopy
Hi, I am very recently diagnosed, am having an endoscopy to get a baseline for possible varices. Does any one know what happens if they DO find varices? A rant too, 🤣 for decades any routine blood tests has been queried but never followed up. Only now after breast cancer and lots of blood tests

Hello, this is my general response to help people find a baseline. First, go to the doctors and get yourself checked for intestinal infections, and whatever other tests they want to do. Most people find they are all clear, and that IBS is a condition brought on by our modern diet, freely accessible
