Newbie: Feeling a bit lost & adrift
Hi, After a couple of illnesses recently I had some blood tests that came back with 'strange results' my liver function was OK. My GP asked a blood specialist at the hospital for a second opinion that involved another blood test and an Ultra-sound. The upshot was, I was diagnosed with enlarged spleen

Metabolics appointment yesterday- think I've been undiagnosed again ! Blood tests done: ??

Gastroscopy and colonoscopy, it says talk to doc if you have thyroid disease!!! Advice please!
I am having gastroscopy and colonoscopy on Tuesday. Reading notes for the preparation it says talk to doc or pharmacist if you have any of following, one being thyroid disease. I have had them before but not together and for me it is very painful. This time I will not be eating for nearly 30 hours, I

I have a Bowel problem, but cannot put a name to it ?
Around ten months ago my digestive stopped working the way it always had. I had awful gas and bloating and my weight went down to 7 stone from 11 stone, went to my doc and he put it down to IBS. The previous year I had a Colonoscopy and a Gastroscopy and was found to have a Pepic ulcer and was put on

Confused about Gastroscopy and Colonoscopy results
Had gastroscopy and colonoscopy yesterday. Gastroscopy revealed "..[i]flattened mucosal pattern in D1 and D2: Coeliac ??" - [/i]and now waiting for results from samples taken to be tested. Colonoscopy revealed nothing more than internal haemarrhoids, although have had diarrhoea for 3 years. So

Gastro appointment, another disappointment
Hello, I have had the Gastroscopy today and in the report I was diagnosed with gastritis in fact is says "antrum gastritis with no bleading" The gastrologist said that I have it for a long time and that with gastritis I have bile reflux as well. He referred me back to my GP to prescribed some probiotics

Gastroscopy question
What is the smallest amount of time I can eat gluten before gastroscopy? my letter says 8 weeks of gluten in every meal however I won't be able to do that without destroying myself and leaving myself unable to work. would 2 weeks have any affect or does it have to be this long? Also how much gluten

So upset
I was diagnosed in April 2017 with stage iv stomach cancer at the junction of Oesophagus. The cancer had spread to the peritoneum and I was offered palliative EOX chemo. I responded very well to the chemotherapy and was subsequently offered surgery (total gastrectomy, part removal of oesophagus and removal

She was going to be treated with a venting

tube but she is not a suitable candidate for that or any other intervention. She would like to thank you all for your support over the last few years and the kind and supportive messages she has already received (from Irish ovacare site).

I’m really confused. I’ve been ill since May last year. Heartburn/ indigestion constantly as well as bad spells of diarrhoea and dreadful fatigue.Nothing relieved my symptoms! In September when I was told I had to wait 4 months to see a consultant I took it upon myself to eliminate acid and most gluten

Side Effect of Prednisolone - Dementia?
My dad is 70 yrs old and was diagnosed with PMR last week and had been given prednisolone ever since. First 3 days the rheumatologist gave him prednisolone 40mg and he didn’t look like himself, mostly quiet, confused, dazing, couldn’t answer simple questions, couldn’t drink or swallow when we told him

Liver M.R.I with contrast
I was diagnosed with cirrhosis two years ago during detox and then discharged. Last year I started pushing for follow-up. I saw a consultant and she said I had grade 'A' cirrhosis and I needed bloods , ultrasound and gastroscopy. Following my ultrasound last Tuesday, I arrived home to find an appointment

Do they always check for celiac when doing a gastroscopy?
I had a gastroscopy done a year ago to test for H. Pylori. There was no H. Pylori, but lately I'm starting to think it could be celiac. They didn't mention it though, so does this mean I'm don't have Celiac disease or can it also mean they just didn't test it?

Overdue update
My husband hasn't been at all well. He became ill on boxing day and ended up in hospital. Got home after a few days but a week later had to get the out of hours doctors again and then a wait of four and a half hours for an ambulance. His breathing was very bad probably from a copd flare up. He's now

Inguinal Hernia.
It is 21 months since I left Hospital after 15 days including five days in intensive care following partial lung collapse. Chemotherapy was not an option for me as after two cycles prior to surgery it was stopped due to DVT in my lower left leg. I am now on warfarin for life. I had a lot of the problems

Help with Gastroscopy
I recently had a Gastroscopy whilst on a fast track Cancer pathway to look into the possibility that I may have upper GI Cancer. Cutting a long story short, thankfully I have not got Cancer, so that’s a big relief. I did not know what a Gastroscopy involved so I checked it out on Google. I read many

P.E.G. (Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy)

is an endoscopic medical procedure in which a tube is passed into a patient's stomach through the abdominal wall, most commonly to provide a means of feeding when oral intake is not adequate" I have just returned from a visit to Neuro Centre where I saw my specialist
