Rare diarrhoea
Would like to ask if switching from IBS c to IBS d is common. I’ve been trying to manage constipation for 40 years. I’m used to that.Yesterday’s urgency was really anxiety provoking for me. Thank you for reading.

constipation leading to Pelvic Floor dysfunction
I have IBS - C and over the years the medical fraternity have prescribed laxatives for me. I’m following a low fermentation & FODMAP diet which works well for me. However my constipation due to a lot of straining has turned into PFD which basically means my anal muscles are out of sync. Does anyone suffer

Any insight into # platinum chemo cycles?
So I'm about to start cisplatinum + etoposide chemo cycles on wed. next week for NECP/SCCP. The first irritant I have of which I'm sure will not be the only one is: I have no idea what the treatment plan is, I don't know how many cycles I'm scheduled for and what the treatment goal is. Researching

thank you
thank you everyone for all the help you gave me recently, my husband is improving but will never be better like before, but any improvement is better than how he was. I too am feeling a little better, I did go to the hospital in the end, it seems I keep getting partial bowel obstruction and it eventually

IBS-C pain at night
any suggestions? I either feel like I need to have several snacks before I can fall asleep at night (often because I’m so careful during the day that I sometimes undereat) OR I have severe bloating and constipation and pain that keeps me up for hours!

side /back and stomach pain
Edit! Ok so I didn’t pick up the antibiotics Friday as it was 50% improved . It’s still not completely gone though. Maybe not even that!? If you were to stand with your hand on your left hip /waist with thumb at back ( you know !)that gap under rib hard to explain , that’s where it is and that part

Age and timing for Triplet therapy?
I am age 81, active and neither fit nor frail, radiated in 2021 without hormone therapy. Radiated again in 2023 for a pelvic node. In December the PSA rose to 3.78 and a PSMA-PET scan showed cancer growing in prostate, shrinking in pelvic node, and spread to one abdominal node. I started ADT with

Is it the New shape of Aerobika mouthpiece causing my mouth ulcers?
Just wondering if any of my fellow chest clearance buddies are experiencing recurrent mouth ulcers ? . Think mine is due to the different shape of Aerobika mouthpiece.? My newest device comes with a sort of ‘lip’ to the edge of it …Grasping at straws here to get a reason.. Mouth ulcers are so sore!

Hip pain
Been diagnosed with IBS but from reading other posts I realise I am getting off lightly with symptoms. Possibly microscopic colitis. I just want to know if anyone else gets a lot of pain in area of right hip? Could this be IBS or just OA? Thanks

New member here. Looking to commiserate with other IBS sufferers about how they are dealing with symptoms. I’ve been told that a lot of this (bloating, constipation) is brought on by stress. But then you start “doomscrolling” to better understand your symptoms and you see all kinds of stories of people

QoL: Moonrise at a liminal place No. 2
I painted three versions of this mixed media work, being drawn repeatedly to the reference photograph. It is a place called Cwmtudu (pronounced Coom-ti-di to my American and, I imagine, most of my English friends here), and here we are looking down jnto the valley from a rocky outcrop on some clifftops

B12 Side effects
At my last blood take the Serum & Folate B12 reading was 278 ng/L and have been prescribed Cyanoco B12 100mcg tablets one per day Since taking B12 my skin has been alive with irritation, in particular my back - is this usual?

Cabazitaxel and estrogen patch
My brother has CRPC and is receiving Cabazitaxel+Relugolix. Denosumab and Zoledronic acid don't work for him. I suggested an Estrogen patch to both maintain bone density and ameliorate hot flashes. His oncologist said that an Estrogen patch would interfere with the Cabazitaxel. I can't find any literature

Diagnosed in 2010 with advanced PC. Prostatectomy in 2011 followed by the "all clear". PSA refused to disappear and so RT followed. PSA still present and PC nodules found in my lung in 2021. I then had a 6 session course of chemotherapy and have been on Abiaterone and Demoxosone drugs ever since.Nodules
