Anti-reflux surgery
I would be interested to know of peoples experience with anti-reflux surgery, such as partial or full fundoplication, LINX or stretta. Was it worth it? What is life like after the surgery? Any disadvantages? With thanks for your replies.

Bit old fashioned...
I discovered that a castor oil pack really helps with knee pain. It's horrible sticky oil, but it works topically (for me at least). I have bad memories of this stuff from my childhood. Any hint of sickness and out came the bottle. I would not recommend injesting it! 🤮 it's better than the deep heat

Well quite a good discussion with my GP just now! Reiterated my symptoms of B12 deficiency, Folate deficiency, Hypothyroidism, vegetarian and having a gastric band 12 years ago a lightbulb came on! Oh so yes probably good idea for B12 injections! She said she will write to gastroenterologists (I thought

Ferrous sulphate
Can anyone help please with the best time of day to take these tablets? Or any experience with having taken them? It's all well and good to say take on an empty stomach, but they seem to cause reflux and when one is already taking PPI 's for acid reflux this is no easy task. Also advised by GP

Does anyone take pantoprazole with MtX?
During this weekend I have had a bad pain in my esophagus. I get that from time to time, probably due reflux caused by the prednisolone and PMR, as it is worse during a flare. I usually take pantoprazole a couple of days and it heals up fast (doctor's prescription). However - now I am on MtX since

Dry eye syndrome - and castor oil!
Some weeks ago someone posted they were using castor oil for dry eyes. I was rather sceptical that that was a good idea - it sounded as if they were putting it IN their eyes. Anyway - today I got a notification of this study of castor oil as a potential natural remedy for dry eyes: https://www.medicalnewstoday.com

Day four
Well what a journey, day 4 and still no kick back from IBS. So far the foods that have triggered my IBS that I have tried again. Tomato sauce, crisps/chippies, gingernut biscuits, water, saveloys, marmite/ vegemite and wholemeal bread. All in moderation except for the bread, love my bread. Not a reaction

My Tumour is shrinking

Morning all, I posted some results a while ago and followed the very wise advice I was given but as I still felt rubbish I got into my GP who was very helpful and ordered lots of tests for me. When I posted towards the end of last year I was struggling and my B12 was low, ferritin dire at 16 and some

Long term side effects of using steroids
https://www.verywellhealth.com/steroid-side-effects-83089 A huge long description of all the problems with steroids. It was not till I saw specialists like Endocrinologist AND Rheumatologist that I was made more aware of the concerns. My PCP loves steroids., like just take more insulin, how about 50%

Stomach rumbling growling and pain
Hi, i have a lot of stomach growling and rumbling which is extremely loud and can be heard from far away. People have commented on hearing a lot of noise and it makes me uncomfortable. I also get a lot of pain. The rumbling/growling happens most of the day and last quite a long time between intervals

IUD and bradycardia
hi my daughter in law (26yr) had an IUD placed in early June. She now has bradycardia and suffered a terrible fainting episode. Hospital said she has vagal syncope. Has anyone else got bradycardia after an IUD placement? Thank you Tina

Laxido and acid reflux
I swear every time I take this stuff I end up with really bad regurgitation and heartburn. Coincidence? I am on other medications.

Weight loss on intermittent fasting even better than my last post 3 years ago!
Hi all, I haven’t been on here for 3 years now but the reason we are all members of this site is because we want help with our thyroid issues, so I decided to log back on and share my progress with you. I took up intermittent fasting a few years ago and was blown away with the results as I was at
