How was you first told you had IBD and how are you now?
I thought it might be good to hear how everyone was first told they have IBD and where they are today. This is my story.. I have had IBD for 40ish years. I was first diagnosed by a wonderful IBD specialist. Way back then there were no computers and all the patients files were crammed into cardboard

Stomach issues
GI doc says I should have another
endoscopy
in a few months. You would not believe how I get so worked up and worried with these test The doctor tells you not to worry at the same time telling you what they are ruling out.

Lobular Carcinoma Strikes Again.....Ugh!!
Of course, the
endoscopy
has to verify everything, but my doctor does not want to wait anymore, given the mechanisms behind lobular and quite frankly I have to agree. Honestly, I'm scared, my brain is racing and at the same time I'm completely in "deer in the headlights" mode.

Is it normal to feel anxious when adding Armour?
Endoscopy
shows evidence of celiac but blood and stool tests don’t, possibly because I haven’t gotten enough gluten back in my diet. I try but it’s hard because it feels bad. I have a lot of other labs but they are not in an easy format to transfer.

H Pylori link with B12?
Sent him to private Gastroenterologist who is sending him for a
endoscopy
and colonoscopy at end of August. However, in the meantime, his GP has done a stool sample and just today it has come back positive for H. pylori.

Worried and advice appreciated
Mri has shown no gall stones neither has
Endoscopy
. It seems like Liver failure but i donn't remember seeing her drink much at all. She is active and certainly not overweight and eats well. The doctors seem puzzled and of course my mum and i are really worried.

swallowing problems
I have had an
endoscopy
done and they didn’t really see anything abnormal. I have done a swallow study and it showed the muscles are no longer working together properly so it takes food a long time to go down to the stomach.

Persistent Diarrhea. Reliable SIBO test?
I booked him into see a private gastroenterologist, who has recommended a
endoscopy
and colonoscopy but it is going to cost approx £2000. Not sure there is any way around it, but have heard there is a SIBO breath test that can be done at home.

endoscopy
finding 4 grade 2 oesophagus varices - this was a big shock as having cleared the Hep C - I am also 35 years

I asked if I should be having
Endoscopy
checks and she said no ? I thought I have to be checked, my last one in Dec 2021 showed no Varicies.

Esophagus nodules
The following day I had my three year colonoscopy/
endoscopy
. I knew it as soon as Dr said it. There was going to be a problem and there is. More precancerous polyps was found with colonoscopy. My
endoscopy
showed two firm nodules. The nodules are on the outside growing in.

Posted 2 mths ago adrenal insufficiency fatigue . Update. Not sure where I am.
Doc has started me on a 2nd course B12, put an urgent on
endoscopy
. I am now wondering if this is indeed due to adrenal insufficiency as I am on 6.5mg. If it is should I start another drop to 6mg?
