Struggling with abdominal cramps and bloating in the evenings and mornings
I'm recently diagnosed in September. I'm taking 200mg twice daily of mebeverine which helps with going to the toilet daily but I'm finding that I'm getting bad abdominal cramping and bloating in the evenings and the morning which then settles during the day, only to flare up again later on. Does anyone

any way to increase ferritin without increasing iron saturation?
after two months of taking iron supplements (75mg every other night on empty stomach), my ferritin rose from 51 to 158. Unfortunately, my iron saturation rose from 46% to 59%. This is caused by fairly high iron (172) and fairly low transferrin (291), though both are within normal range. My doctor

IBS or not
I’ve had ongoing stomach pains for over 2 years, had ct scans, sigmoidoscopy, endoscopy, nasal gastosgraphy plus mri scan . I have a sliding hiatus hernia which my doctor thought was the problem, but they couldn’t find it ! Hospital have said all tests are fine, and abdominal pain is due to something

Gastroscopy aftermath!
I had a gastroscopy yesterday evening. He went down into my stomach and small intestine. I've had a few of these in the past - the last one 20 years ago. I cannot remember feeling quite so bruised and sore as I did last night and still do. He took a biopsy and so I know my stomach will be sore and will

Any body else like me?
Please excuse the long post, I’m hoping to pick you lovely ladies brains 💗. I was diagnosed in feb 2020 - hgs stage 3. Surgery and the usual chemo followed and then avastin for maintenance. In October ‘22 my ca125 rose gradually and a scan showed 3 lymph nodes that my oncologist didn’t think were anything

Buprenorphine, Nausea & Zofran (Ondansetron)
I successfully take 0.4 mg day buprenorphine to treat RLS but the nausea side effect is very troublesome and there does not seem to be a satisfactory plan to get the better of it.

I haven't had it tested recently but past tests always come out way over the range. Anyway, I saw a post by @Marz in which she said that she takes b12 due to having

GP disagrees with diagnosis of osteoporosis
I had a Dexa scan 2 weeks ago and the lady who did the scan told me I had osteoporosis and gave me a leaflet about it and an information sheet about Alendronic acid. She said GP would contact me when he got the results to start me on AA. Last week I got a text from GP saying “your bone thickness is

Stomach issues
I just had to tell this story, I’m sure plenty of us have experienced being fobbed off with different diagnoses before being diagnosed with endo, however I’ve just experienced the opposite way around. I was diagnosed with endo and adenomyosis in November of last year, this weekend I fell really ill

Crohns diagnosis
Hi I just wondered if there is anyone who have struggled to get a diagnosis? I have now been referred to a consultant who suspects I have crohns as my calproctin was over 900 and I have been suffering with diarrhoea and a lot of stomach pain for the last 2 months where I haven’t been able to go to work
