Why is it so difficult to Interact with G.P.s ?
Hello. This is my first post, although I have been a lurker for some time. I am 65, female, with many symptoms which brought me to this forum. I thought I was B12 deficient about a year ago after finding information by accident which appeared to sum me up completely. So, I started taking B12, but nothing

Not the news I was expecting
It is a year ago today that I went for an endoscopy after many months of treatment for what my GP thought was a digestion problem. I would be prescribed omeprazole which helped. However swallowing became difficult and a referral was made for an endoscopy. Two days later we attended for the procedure.

Stomach pain with muscle discomfort
Hi there, for the last 4 months I've had stomach pain(right between ribs mostly after eating)with muscle discomfort in upper and lower back. Both symptoms come and go, sometimes I feel good for a couple days then it's back. The discomfort can last for hrs. Naturopath treated me with candida supplements

Gluten Ataxia - status of duodenal villi
Been to see my neurologist today about my ataxia. We're sure that B12 and diabetes aren't the cause and he's now following the idea of it being Gluten Ataxia. I had high IgA in August and he ordered a full blood screen of the likely antibodies - but the path lab screwed up the samples. I had more taken

Reactive Gastritis?
Hi, I went to see the gastro consultant last week following my colonoscopy and gastroscopy in august. She said all the results and biopsies where completely normal and show conclusively that I do not have any absorption issues or pernicious anaemia. I got a copy of the pathology report and had a look

Newly diagnosed Coeliac
Hi, I have recently been diagnosed and am in the search for some answers. None of my family have Coeliacs but have had problems with IBS in the past. In the past I had sometimes experienced issues with IBS attacks somewhat randomly, however over the summer I 'suddenly' became very ill and couldn't keep

Flying seven months after Ivor Lewis.
How soon can I fly. Hi I am new on here. Briefly I am 76 and in March this year had Ivor Lewis following 2 rounds of Chemotherapy. The latter left me with DVT in my lower left leg for which I am on warfarin every day. After difficulties with swallowing and repeated vomiting my consultant ordered a cat

Association of autoimmune thyroid diseases, chronic atrophic gastritis and gastric carcinoid: experience from a single institution
The commonly reported low stomach acid in hypothyroidism tends to be regarded as minor, and something that will resolve with adequate thyroid hormone. Sadly, for all too many, stomach issues continue, regardless of adequacy of thyroid hormones. Earlier today I was reminded that hypergastrinaemia is

Gastroscopy and colonoscopy came back "normal". What now?
Some advice needed please... Almost 2 years ago I was very symptomatic (brain fogs, tiredness, mouth ulcers etc), and had a B12 reading of 127 (range 180-900). I fought hard to get B12 injections. Tests for Intrinsic Factor and Parietal Cells came back negative and the Dr and haematologist have both

Can a liver really repair this quickly?
This was the results of my biopsy back in December: non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, grade 6/8 activity with no evidence of autoimmune pathology. There is also advanced fibrosis with bridging septa (stage 3/4) but not conclusive features of cirrhosis. Given my high fibroscan reading (30.7 KPa) the doctor

Bowel / toilet problems
A proportion of people who have had treatment for cancer suffer difficulties with sudden loss of control over bowel movements, and indeed some suffer from chronic diarrhoea issues. Dr Jervoise Andreyev, the gastroenterologist from Royal Marsden, and his colleague Ann Muls, have been in the forefront
