Reflux, oesophagitis and nissen fundoplication surgery
I have had a hiatus hernia for many years and GORD. A gastroscopy three months ago showed Grade C oesophagitis, 6cm sliding hiatus hernia and diverticulosis. I have taken Lanzoprazole (one or two 15mg daily) for about 10 years. Following gall bladder removal last year I also have bouts of bile reflux

Consultant gastroenterologist
Hi all, I saw the consultant yesterday and he is doing blood tests for Coeliacs and an intrinsic factor, as I pointed out the last blood result was only 2ng/l from the bottom of the range which he agreed. Although he initially said it was "normal"! I will also be having a Gastroscopy & colonoscopy in

Gastroscopy
Is this the same as an endoscopy?? Was told mine won't be till August. Had lots of bloods done again! And then they brought it forward to may. Not sure if there is a reason for this but at least I don't have to wait too long now. X

Pain after total gastrectomy
Hi It's coming up on 4 weeks since I had my stomach removed, and just over a week since I was discharged from hospital. In many ways I would say I'm progressing well, especially in terms of food intake and what my new plumbing seems to be able to handle even at this early stage. My worry is that i am

Food is a bad four lettered word!
Hi. My husband is 7 months post op for an extended total gastrectomy after cancer was found in the cardia. I wouldn't say he sailed through everything, but he tolerated the ECX pre and post op quite well and recovered from the surgery very quickly. That is apart from one hiccough when the district nurse

Opinions and advise
Hello, I'm a 27 year old male who has been suffering with abdominal issues since the age of three. As the years went on it was noted by my pediatrician that I was suffering with stomach migraines (at the time) and was put on some type of migraleve. I do not know wether or not this drug was effective

Gastrectomy
I was diagnosed with oc in October but various complications in the testing process means I've only just found out I'm being offered surgery. At first I was told I'd get some of my oesophagus and some of my stomach removed, but nodal involvement in my abdomen and the fact my junction tumour has grown

Newly Gluten-Free
Hi everyone, I'm new on this subject. Having suffered with digestive problems for years, as long as I can remember I suppose, I am currently gluten-free and feel very fortunate. I have suffered from discomfort, bloating, nausea and constipation for many years and you begin to think that that's just how
