Gastroperesis + IBS C- thoughts
Hello ! My name is Jess and I have been dealing with Gastroperesis for over 25 years. I am SOOOO tired of it! I constantly get a distended bloated stomach, some from gas and some from the slow digestion and not be able to go. I also have IBS-C ( constipation) so this makes matters worse. I take

Beta blockers
I'm 68, female with NASH/ Cirrhosis which is compensated. I have recently been prescribed 1.25 mg of Bisoprolol Fumarate (beta blocker) but I'm so anxious about taking it as my GP seemed unsure about any effect on my liver. I was wondering if any members take beta blockers with no ill effects? I'm also

Is it the time for initial treatment?
As I previously stated, my wife was diagnosed with CLL in 2020. Her markers are 13q deletion, 12 trisomy, and TP53, with IGHV muted. She is still in W&W form. So far, I've learned via reading literature and numerous posts about lymphocyte doubling time, lactate dehydrogenase, and lymph nodes. Her lymphocyte

Tenesmus etc
Hello. I have had chronic consipation for for over 30 years and rely on suppositories to get my bowels working. More recently I have had loose & fragmented stool with bouts of diarrhea. Difficult for others to understand but even when I feel a neeed to "go", I usually need suppositories to get started

follow up sigmoidoscopy
I go for my follow up sigmoidoscopy on Tuesday to check for regrowth of my precancerous polyp that was removed 6 months ago. What are the chances that these regrow in the same spot and if so, could they already have turned to cancer if they grow back within 6 months? The closer I get to the test, the

colitis and Psoriasis
Hello, I’ve recently been diagnosed with colitis and also experienced some Psoriasis. Some people seem to think this all leads back to the liver. I just wondered if anyone had a similar experience and if there are tests available to see what I can possibly do?

worried and anxious
My lung cancer growth is small and operable. I just feel so worried and anxious it’s spread. As well as the operation to remove the growth with lower lung they are going to take lymph node sampling. I wondered if this is usual and would love to hear from anyone who has had this done. I’m planning to

always hungry
Hi, I’ve suffered from stomach issues since December 2022. The obvious stuff - bloating, constipation and then diarrhoea, minor cramps, and nausea etc. I’m in my 4th doctors appointment for the problem, and all my blood tests are clear. I’ve recently been given IBS relief tablets, but I’m hesitant
