IBS, resection surgery and Imodium
I had a bowel resection surgery for a cyst about a year ago. They took 13 inches of my bowel out. Some small and some large intestine. I had IBS D before surgery but seemed to manage it by the way I would eat. Since surgery though it comes and goes way more frequently. I just started trying to use Imodium

Typical med progression?
My friend started taking l-dopa within the past year. She works fulltime and her workplace isn't aware of her diagnosis. Currently she's taking 8 Sinemet 100mg daily, plus 3 or 4 Rytary 145mg. She also takes sleeping medication, and botox for curled toes. She's reading articles on DBS. Any advice

How to Balance Low Sodium and Electrolyte Replacement During Exercise?
There are two nutrition segments who do not communicate much: low sodium diets and electrolyte replacement. I have seen a number of articles about "low sodium backpacking" and "low sodium backpacking meals." There are also many, many articles (likely driven by a lucrative market) on electrolyte replacement

Hi Folks, Just wanted to pick all your super human brains again if that's ok, you lovely people!

Two weeks ago was bringing up some

Has anyone with ET suffered sudden complete hearing loss in one ear?
This has happened to me after having my ear looked at querying wax. Told ear was clear and immediately after leaving audiologist my hearing had gone completely. I have since seen GP who said their WAS wax and prescribed drops of sodium bicarbonate for a week, after which an attempt was made to wash out

0% potassium ketchup
Hi, been away for a while, but have a quick question. Our Kroger grocery store sells a Kroger brand ketchup that has 50% less sodium and zero potassium. Can I trust this label? How can ketchup (made from tomatoes) be zero potassium?

Hints and tips to get 7 year old to take sodium picosulfate (stimulant).
We’re just starting disimpaction process and have a very fussy child. I’m pretty sure he’ll hate the picosulfate and just wondered how people were administering this. What can I use that’s not juice to disguise the taste?

Blood tests = Can of Worms. Anaemia or Hyperthyroidism? B12 & Serum Folate too low or OK? Other results all over the place! Any ideas?
Hi All, I have no idea what any of this means, but even I know some of it looks skewiffy! A couple of the results were flagged by the test itself; these are RDW and MCHC which may relate to thyroid function. Also the Serum Folate and B12 look a bit low so may be affecting my thyroid too. Are you able

AMANTADINE FOR DYSKINESIA. HAVE YOU AN EXPERIENCE WITH THIS DRUG? PLEASE HELP.
Hi, I might consider this drug for Dyskinesia, if it gets too severe. My MDS is a little reluctant to prescribe it, because he says it may cause insomnia. Nevertheless, is this drug working for your dyskinesia? How long before it started working for you? My doctor said it could take 4 to 8 weeks.

NHS so busy atm and I was torturing myself. So the sonographer report states 2 possible causes. Degenerating

Urgent explosive diarrhoea
Hi to all sorry to post this but I was wondering if anyone else suffers with this. It’s been so debilitating all week. It’s a constant thing that comes and goes but of late it seems to be happening more often 😩. It starts not long after eating with the urgent pains and literally if I’m not a minute

Update
Sorry all for not posting in a while. I am a high school counselor and we have been on summer break. I have been doing some mini renovations around my house, traveling and honestly getting caught up on sleep and family time from the craziness of the last year and a half. I went to my GP last week
