Flare up of Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease after surgical ablation
Hi I had a surgical ablation 2 weeks ago which will be followed by a RF ablation in 3 weeks’ time (the procedure which I am going through is a staged hybrid intervention). Since I was discharged I have been suffering from the symptoms of GORD (bloating, belching, constipation, then diarrhoea, dry cough

how can I suppress stool build up
hello, it’s been a while since I posted here but Hopi g someone can help where no doctor has been able to. My colon is always full of stool despite having 15 plus bowel movements a day. I do not eat much in the hope that might relieve the symptoms. But still stool builds up and makes me feel like

High platelet count due to iron deficiency anaemia maybe?
Just again when I thought all was going well ! High platelet count from recent blood test shows Platelet count 515 10*9/L Platelet count has been abnormal for some time, but never this high. Not sure whether I should request the ferrous sulphate again, OR could it be PMR flare. I have felt pretty

Cholestyramine
My husband has had explosive diarrhea since mid February. After blood tests, stool samples, colonoscopy, and more stool samples, they are not able to determine what is causing the diarrhea. The doctor has prescribed Cholestyramine. Has anyone had experience with this medication and did it help?

Weaning off Omeprazole
Does anyone have a treatment plan for a successful weaning off Omeprazole please? I want to start this process but am a bit scared as I stopped cold turkey previously and had horrendous issues. I understand that the drug makes the acid producing valve loose which further contributes to the issue causing

It was a bit of a shock if I am honet. So me being me , I read up about it when I got home, as most things

Lanzoprazole and side effects
Hello, I am over 2 years past Ivor Lewis oesophagectomy and have been taking Lanzoprazole 15mg once a day, then Gavison at night. I’ve found that my folate and ferritin are low , probably caused by ppi use and wonder if anyone has managed to come off them. I know they have lots of potential bad effects

Is there a difference between Barrett’s tongue and barretts oesophagus ?
I have been trying to research this since my endoscopy showed “possible Barrett’s tongue” Biopsy has been taken to rule this out which I hope is a positive sign , but does anyone have experience of this term? I understand that it is associated with hiatal hernia although my reflux issues aren’t too

Bile Acid Diarrhoea
I have this condition and take colestyramine daily which controls it well. I recently asked my GP to have my fat soluble vitamins checked (A,D and K, I believe) in a blood test as this has not been checked in a long time. The email! came back saying there was no indication for this. The literature

Leflunomide, Mycophenolate, Azathioprine instead of TCZ, that was the question
Thanks for your help in answering this question. It seems Leflunomide is the only real contender. So much so that my cynical self wonders if the other two are only there to give the illusion of choice! Any more info about your experience of Leflunomide is very welcome. Not rushing into anything, and

omeprazole at night
I take 20 mg of Omeprazole before breakfast under instruction from my GP although I have not suffered from acid reflux/ heartburn. I do however suffer from a hoarse voice which I was told by others who have the same that it may be “silent reflux” which is where the stomach acid is pushed up into the

Post op sleeping position
Hi everyone my husband is nearly 9 months post oesophagectomy with 2/3 of his stomach removed. He was diagnosed T4aN1M0 in September last year, had the op in March and is overall recovering really well. We’re so grateful that generally he’s sleeping well but currently using an OPA wedge but slipping

Swallowing difficulties 5 months post-op

PMR/Hiatus hernia and PPIs

No particular problems with Omeprazole but asked for a different PPI after reading negative reports about a

How to taper off 15mg Lansoprazole
Hi I have been on lansoprazole for about 2.5 months now and about to try come off them. I am on 15mg. I've started by taking one and then missing one the next day then taking another but I've already got acid reflux and this is only the second one I've missed. Do I need to do it slower? The docs said
