Gastroscopy Advice
Hey guys/girls I'm having a Gastroscopy tomorrow at 11.30 @ QEBH I'm so so anxious, I emailed my specialist requesting to be put under general Anaesthetic but due to the time frame it was denied. So I was going to chicken out, but decided to go ahead despite my extreme anxiety. It's vital I get

Hello again.
Update after having Gastroscopy yesterday. No evidence of cancer biopsies taken to rule out H.plyori, no sign of reflux, but it did show up Oesophageal candidiases I have been prescribed Fluconazole for1 week. Does anyone have experience of this condition, and how quickly it will clear.

Cirrhosis question
New to this, would be grateful for advice. I chased up some tests for a liver ultrasound, I had done in March, neither my GP or myself were given the results. It transpired they had never been sent, as a result I was given a very quick appointment with a consultant in mid July. He told me I had cirrhosis

Problems after gastroscopy and flexible sigmoidoscopy
Hi I hope this might be the correct forum to ask this question on. I thought you may have experience of this hope so. Thanks. I recently had a gastroscopy and sigmoidoscopy on June 14th to investigate a low blood count. Since the evening after the scopes I have had problems. I constantly feel full

Do I have Pernicious Anaemia or not, conflicting results confusing Drs
Hi all, I had a positive IFA and PCA blood result last November. GP gave me a leaflet about PA and told me I had PA and would nd treatment for life, although he said my B12 level was not low at 348 and other bloods were ok. He gave me 1 jab as a trial, which did nothing, so I joined PA Society and went

Update on my gastroenterologist results
Hello everyone, it's been a little while since my last post. Have had my Gastroscopy and Colonoscopy and pleased to say all the results from the biopsies came back clear. No coeliac or other bowel disorders, no polyps, just a few ulcers in the colon due to taking anti inflammatory for my back problem

Sudden surgery - terrified
I have been in and out of my GP's office since well before Christmas, as I have had so much abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhoea, cramping etc. I also had sciatica, lower back pain, and pain going down the front of my leg. I have suffered on and off from anxiety since as far back as I can remember, and

Stretch post op
Hi I'm 15 weeks post gastrectomy and I've started to notice that some food isn't going down as well as it did and it feels a little...uncomfortable (I wouldn't go as far to call it painful). My Gi nurse told me this might happen and not to panic as it will probably mean I need a stretch. Phoned for

Colonoscopy prep - any tips?
I am scheduled for a gastroscopy and colonoscopy this Friday. I have been given 2 bottles of Fleet soda-phosphate. I have had it before and it is completely foul and makes me gag. Any tips on what to mix it with? I am feeling pretty wobbly about this, as I had an ultrasound yesterday and they saw a large

Fibroids after hysterectomy?
Hi everyone! I'm new here, and tbh, I thought my days of poring over hysterectomy posts were behind me. I had a hysterectomy in 2011, as I had multiple fibroids, the largest was the size of a melon. For the last year, I have been having pelvic pain and pressure, some light spotting, and an extreme worsening

Why have I now got anemia?
Last check up I was told I had anemia which did at least explain my lethargy. The Haematologist asked me about any other symtoms I'd noticed: Acid reflux, jaded appetite, night sweats were the most obvious. To my surprise, as I was expecting the anemia to be PV related, I was told that I was to be referred

Stretta procedure
I am new to this forum and was diagnosed with hiatus hernia, gastritis and acid reflux following a gastroscopy. I've also had manonetry and PH tests and barium swallow. Tomorrow I have a Stretta procedure and would be grateful if anyone can tell me about what happens afterwards. I will be on a liquid

I'm new here and would welcome any comments regarding my results and the treatment plan suggested by my GP
Hello all, I'm a 57-year-old male, diagnosed with hypothyroidism in October 2015 as the result of a range of tests to identify why I had experienced several apparently "hypoglycemic" attacks during the preceding few months. Funnily enough, before my GP told me that I had an underactive thyroid, she went

Targeted therapy- New drugs - any good for stomach cancer?
Jimmy, My Dad, was first diagnosed with stage 2 gastric cancer in May 2014, and told it was in-operable. He was treated with EOX chemotherapy for 6 months. This reduced the tumour and enabled the doctors to do a total gastrectomy in Feb 2015. He was cancer free for 18 months, during which time he lost
