Major issues on GemCarbo and losing weight
Hi Ladies, I was diagnosed in November 2015. I have done great until now. Eribulin was a cake walk, Ibrance and Faslodex I felt like i didn’t even have cancer. Even Taxol for 9 months was easy for me. Now I’ve had three cycles of Gemcarbo and I feel like I’m back when I was diagnosed. I vomit

Sister carrying a baby that will die and mother diagnosed with benign stomach tumor
Hi everyone, I have PA- autoimmune gastritis (parental cell antibodies rather than intrinsic factor). I had a canceroid tumor removed from my stomach in January. I also have thyroid antibodies . My sister also has a b12 deficiency although I don’t know what caused this. She’s hasimotos as well. After

dilemma
Thanks for looking at my post. Just had a coclonoscopy and endoscopy and gastroenterologist prescribed PPIs. But my dilemma is that I'm certain I have LOW stomach acid! I have hashi's since 2015. I'm gluten and dairy free. 75 mg of levothyroxin. I'm 49 years old. My symptoms are occasional fatigue

Help.
I have been anemic all my life ranging from slightly anemic to severally anemic where I've had blood transfusions. I've had endoscopy and colonoscopy they can't find any reason for me to have lost that much blood. I was going through my test results and found that I have anisocytosis, microcytes, and

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

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
