Beware of Lansoprazole
I have taken this drug for years for acid reflux. Last year, during a medical check, it was found that my blood count was so low it was almost at needing a transfusion level. I was put on Ferrous Fumarate which brought my level up but my ferritin level is still low. I had an endoscopy and it was discovered

Consultant doesn’t feel it’s necessary to find cause of gastritis/gastropathy following endoscopy. Does this sound right?
Hi everyone As per the subject heading I’m aware that (from past experience) I’m probably expecting too much. I do feel though that there MUST be other things that could have been tested for or mentioned. Following my endoscopy the lab report states:- A. D2 biopsy (4 biopsies) B. Gastric fundus

Been on Firmagon with Zytiga and Prednisone PSA rising, what can I do next?
Information in Bio Hoping to try a PARP inhibitor or Provenge perhaps, I don’t know much about this, but my medical oncologist keeps mentioning pluvicto, I’m not interested in doing that yet. Information from Bio below: Diagnosed 07/01/2022 Diagnosed By PSA Score 942.40 06/24-2022-07/06/2022

In need of support for information
Im so sorry for the long post. In November of 2023 I started noticing difficulties when swallowing. Stomach pain, discomfort. I went to the doctor and was order to get a barium swallow, which showed some narrowing on my esophagus. Then I got an endoscopy that confirmed and benign stricture on my esophagus

I am new to this sight . Having B12 every 10 weeks since 2019 .. took 2 years to feel better and lose majority of symptoms. Diagnosed with IFA deficiency.. why do I get periods when I feel well and then get a dip even after a B12 jab ? I am wondering if I should be taking folate (folic acid) ? I also

Colonoscopy report
Hi folks, I had my colonoscopy this morning, no sedation, didn't even need gas and air. Hopefully this will reassure those of you waiting for one. The prep wasn't as bad as last time. Maybe they've improved things since then. I didn't mind the taste of the Moviprep, though it was too sweet and because

3 days no sleep
since a very young child after losing 1 parent with other in ICU with what drs said .01 % survival chance I’ve struggled beyond what words can describe with insomnia. The thought of going to bed sleep even when exhausted brings on a physical discomfort that I cannot get away from. Drs can’t find anything

Loose Stools & Chronic Bleeding

Anniversary of varices bleed
Up until 23rd December 2022 I thought I was quite well and healthy and rarely needed to visit our GP. Out of the blue on the 23rd December 2022, I started to vomit up approx. 3 - 4 pints of blood, as you can imagine my wife and I were in shock from the whole episode. Following an emergency admission

Suggestions for questions for gastroenterologist?
Good evening all. Hope you’re as well as can be. Following 4 - 5 months of nausea, epigastric pain, chest pain and palpitations etc I recently underwent an endoscopy. The consultant’s initial report stated ‘diffuse erosive gastritis’ and ‘generalised ulcerated mucosa’. I have some photos and have to
