Low sodium levels?
One of my latest test results showing sodium level down to 129 -last test was 130. Both results too low according to standards. Not sure if Trileptal prescription is playing a part- is known to cause low sodium. Meet with nephrologist on results tomorrow but seeing this score drop is frightening.

Minimal Change Disease and Diet
I was diagnosed with MCD about 15 years ago. I relapsed several times, and my creatinine levels kept rising. At my worst I had a GFR of 14. I was already on a low sodium diet. It was suggested to me that I try removing as much animal protein out of my diet as possible. When I made this change, I

Can anyone make use of residue dialysis support materials?
I supported my son-in-law at our home during his dialysis. He's had his operation and is recovering. I now have plenty of his support fluids, needles etc at my home. Is there any organisation that will make use of the following, much of which is still sealed. 12 box SAK402; 1 box BD Plastipak; 2 box

Dads Full blood count. Any advise please for Vitamins/minerals
Dad is 76, we already know that his T4/T3 is low. No diagnosis of Thyroid issues. He has Alzheimer’s for the last 10yrs but it is progressing very very slowly and when I quizzed my mum she said there were no lesions as far as she knew and the last scan made the consultant frown because he was expecting

Getting off Lasix aka Furosemide
I am trying to wein myself off all my tablets constantly, over what period were you able to come off Furosemide and how did you do it? I am starting to think miss a day when i wake up with the correct weight? I tried to reduce my dosage daily, but I think its better to skip the odd day here and there

Questions for anyone who suffered acid rebound effect after PPI use, and eventually was free from acid reflux?
I could write a book about my experiences with this condition, but I'll try to be as concise as possible to keep you from getting bored halfway through! After various stomach problems (constipation / diarrhea, and later on stomach pains / cramps) for about a year, that my doctor speculates are IBS-related

Need A Few Kind Words This Morning
Usually I'm all over helping everyone else. But this morning I feel about as unsettled as one can. I think I made a mistake in trying to change a few things in my diet. I reduced the amount of potassium I've been taking in and that's bad. My disorder causes me to lose potassium, sodium & to have low

Trying to help my father (CKD) patient
I read a lot of posts in the past few days and I have learned so much more about CKD. My father is a CKD patient for over 3 years. His stages keeps fluctuating between stage 2 and stage 3. My major concern today is his acidity, gastric ulcers and bleeding issues. Moment he stops taking his medications

IBS-D Any suggestions other than Imodium?
Hi there. I have suffered from IBS-D for a few years and manage it as best I can with Imodium. If I am going out for the day or for long periods of time, I take Imodium as preventative measures, just in case I get taken short. Many of these occasions I probably don't need to take Imodium, but psychologically

Questran
Hi, My IBS D is so bad at the moment. Somehow, I managed to get an urgent next day appointment with my NHS gastro (miracles DO happen!) He prescribed Questran Lite and said to try it for a while and see if it helps the D, to tell if I have BAM or not. (He said I could have a SeH-Cat Scan but he thinks
