Think I have been incorrectly diagnosed - could I possible still have PA?
For the six or so years, I've been battling stomach problems that have gotten increasingly worse (constant diarrhoea resulting in weight loss of 15kg - i'm now underweight) and increasing tiredness. Due to deficiencies I've had 2 iron infusions and 2 rounds of b12 shots in this time period, despite having

Just diagnosed
After 19 days in hospital we have today been told that Hubby has Coeliac Disease and Lymphcytic colitis. Over the past few years he has had endoscopies, colonoscopies, sigmoidoscopy , CT scans and SeCHAT. It was only because he was admitted to hospital with very low BP and diarrhoea that they looked

Ulcer Preventing Drugs?
So I’m getting IVIG over two days each month. This has been enormously beneficial...for three weeks or so. The week prior to my next two infusions? GI ulcers, anal ulcers, and oh so fun vaginal ulcers, too. The doctors are suggesting we add an oral drug into the mix. The concern is that I may be forming

Probiotics are mostly useless and can actually hurt you
This is the outcome of a study into the effects of probiotics on healthy people, not those immunocompromised! [i]“Relying on faecal samples as an indicator of what goes on inside the gut is inaccurate and wrong”[/i] says immunologist Elinav Eran Elinav of the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel

CT scan
I went for my CT scan this morning. I have previously had a gastroscopy and colonoscopy but apparently there's about 15 feet of small bowl that can't be seen during *oscopies. I hadn't realised that I would have to drink 2 jugs of bowel prep, I'm a big baby when I have to eat or drink anything that tastes

HELP! Has endo returned?
Hi everyone , I’m just wondering if anyone has had a similar experience? I had a total hysterectomy with removal of both ovaries in 2004 due to endo chocolate cysts severe, pain , and the gynaecologist said the adhesions on my bowl were the worst case she had ever seen. After the surgery I tried several

Grandma again.
Hi all, grandma had a bad bleed yesterday, both ends. They gave gave her an endoscopy and some banding early hours of this morning, still no straight answers from Drs. Can portal hypertension and varices be managed without surgery? And how? I don't think she'd survive an anaesthetic bless her. I can't

I still have subra cartherter in. Doctor may use an endoscope to see if I have any blockage. Some days I have a good , slow stream

Recently diagnosed with PA
I’m just back from GP, I am due my final loading dose this afternoon, my GP said I will then have an injection every 3 months. I was querying if I should take folic acid with b12 injections, my folate level is 4, the range is between 4-20 so he said I’m not low. I have been taking a few folic acid tabs

Another bump in the road
Well been having issues with certain foods staying down & itching like crazy! My ONC. decided to do my body scan & an MRI to see whats up. Well, the scan came back fine the same as 4 mos. ago no growth. But the MRI showed a mass outside the pancreas. So, a endoscopy was scheduled. This was more intense

Very worried person
Hi, I’ve been drinking too much for years, and I knew it would catch up with me at some point. It’s not bottles of high strength cider, vodka, or Special Brew, it’s just a daily intake of too much over too long. I have been diagnosed with liver disease after a varices bleed due to portal hypertension

Chronic Appendicitis vs. Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) - Chronic Appendicitis Does Exist
I am writing because the word needs to get out. Chronic appendicitis does exist! Here is my story. My son was a freshman at college and became ill in November 2017. His stomach hurt, had lower right quadrant pain, vomited and had diarrhea. His symptoms would lessen and worsen depending on the day

Endoscopy tomorrow
Anyone conducted an endoscopy before? How does it work? What do you feel? I'm scared that i may get a lot of side effects and make my muscle pain worst than it already is.
