IBS ok with daily loperamide
Male, for the Last 4 years have suffered from IBS -D ( mainly diarrhoea )diagnosis after colonoscopy & associated blood tests I was advised by a specialist to take Imodium (loperamide) daily after first poo, I follow the FODMAP diet & LOW insoluble fibre. And try to eat Prebiotic foods e.g Oats, also

Diverticulitis
Just been diagnosed with diverticulitis after colonoscopy, luckily no cancer found. Unfortunately I’m having to wear pads as I am experiencing “leaking” after a bowel movement. Any help with diet or tips, I would appreciate, as I am reluctant to take Loperamide on a regular basis.

Horizant versus pregabalin / gabapentin dosage effectiveness
Howdy folks! ....I've recently switched from pregabalin 200mg to Horizant - which I'm taking 300-600mg. Prior to that, I've used as much as 1800mg gabapentin. I'm getting some decent benefits from the relatively low dose of Horizant and was wondering if there are any others who have experienced

Can you ovulate naturally after you have taken a trigger shot (before the 36 hours)?!
Hello all Just wondering if anyone can advise to help ease my fears... as ever, there always seems to be a stress before egg collections or transfers, doesn't help doing it abroad! I am due to go for a natural FET in Cyprus in the coming few days (my last with own eggs :/ ), I am tracking ovulation

Horizant
Hi everyone and Sue Johnson. I'm wondering if Horizant is the same as Pregabalin? I guess it is a stronger version of gabapentin. I have tried it and it seems to work pretty good for me.

Drain cover stops play....
Well, I've joined all you lovely runners sitting on the injury couch. A raised drain cover with a bit of pavement missing around the corner of it, and over I went....sprained shoulder, grazed and bruised elbows and knees, and a nastily turned ankle. My foot has blown up like a balloon and is all colours

We are alone!??
Good morning all On Tuesday morning I went to our reconvened local Headway group meeting. Our meetings are the third Tuesday of every month so it was reconvened from the second Tuesday of the month. Why did it change to the second Tuesday of the month? Because our local Headway co-ordinator

Advice please re steroid dose following fall, facial lacerations, broken nose etc…
Hi all, yesterday I stupidly trotted across a road, my leg gave way and I ended up sliding across on my face, hitting my cheek/nose on the kerb. Been to A&E, all sorted apart from sore shoulder which is a little better today. The pain feels very specific in that I feel it only in certain positions or

Droxia vs Hydrea
I've been treated with Hydroxyurea (hydrea) 500mg for PV since December 2021. Due to stomach issues in March 2023 the HU was decreased to every other day. I did fine on this dosage. My #s stayed pretty much normal & eventually my hemoglobin and hematocrit were actually on the low side of normal so

FET next week but Follicles might have stopped that? Advice needed
so I’m having some issues. I’m a surrogate with 1 pregnancy under my belt from a frozen embryo transfer. The first time I used Progynova 2mg 3x a day. Then after the baseline scan, it was prog & cyclogest until the transfer day. Today I’m starting the process again and I have the same medication cycle
