ferritin level suddenly jumped.. can this happen??
hello forum friends. I went to my gp last week and requested a referral for an iron infusion. I said I’d pay for a private haematology initial consultation if necessary. he’s referred me via nhs but I had to have up to date iron tests.. My ferritin mid June was 32. I had been taking three arrows

Recurrence?im scared
I don't know where to start because I'm scared to death. I already made a post about my situation but I need to talk more about it with people who understand my situation. My mother, my beloved mother... my reason for living. In 2020 she underwent surgery for stage one seromucinous adenocarcinoma

Possible irritable bowel
Hi folks, is it common to have autoimmune plus IBS? and how do you know if they are seperate entities or part of UCTD? I have diagnosed esophageal dysmotility, and have to be careful how I eat to avoid spasm and blockage. Now I have something like IBS -c, and I've had various GP tests for blood

gastrografin
It’s taken soooo long to pass bm finally, high fibre, no laxatives, strict routine and suppositries- I eat prunes, potato skin and bran without fail - it’s working!!! Having ct colonography on Thursday must I’m told start low residual diet and take this marker - which will also clear me out. The department

Would oral iron be useful given my Iron levels (in description)?
I have RLS and got some bloodwork done. The following came up: IRON , SERUM 91.0 µg/dL TOTAL IRON BINDING CAPACITY ( TIBC), SERUM 353 µg/dL FERRITIN , SERUM 116.1 ng/mL I was wondering if Oral Iron would be useful for me or end up giving me toxic levels of it.

Hi, I’ve had stomach discomfort for more than 30 years. Had every test endoscopy twice, every medication and no change in fact it’s worse than it’s ever been. Wake every night at 2.30 with a stomach ache. Huge gas builds up like a blast. I feel it move, go back to bed and it builds again. I’ve tried

Recent iron results - not sure what to do now
Hi everyone, I've recently had an iron panel (NHS) after 10 weeks of supplementing with 1 then 2 x Three arrows per day, as well as taking cacao liquid (as recommended here) in the hope of increasing my stubbornly low ferritin. However I'm not sure how to read the results so any advice very welcome
