I took some
Imodium
which worked but my stomach was still making the moat awful noises. Yesterday was ok although i kept getting cramps like i needed to go but didn't then this morning at 5am ended up dashing to the bathroom yet again. Could this have just been down to the leeks ?!

Prolapsed uterus - bowel movement?
Hi eveyone, well its been a while. Thoracic surgeon pleased with my recent chest x-ray and lung function test - hurray! but, that's about the only good thing. Not been feeling great since Rheumatologist took me off mycophenolate mofetil. My wrists, hands, fingers and thumbs are in so much agonising pain

Endo diagnosis + pain after exercise?
She diagnosed IBS 4 years ago (I get diarrhoea about once a day and can take about 4 packets of
imodium
instants in a week), and always offers contraceptive pills or the coil when I complain about painful sex or frequent periods (my cycle is about 24/25 days in length and extremely heavy).

I Would Appreciate Some Advice Please?
I already use Foligain shampoo/conditioner and am finding new little hairs growing back, only fine ones but they are there. Today I was reading the reviews for these supplements and they were all practically 5*. Looking at the ingredients they do contain iodine which I know we hypo’s aren’t supposed

Lasix and Sodium
Is it advisable to adopt a low sodium diet if you take 40mg of Lasix a day I am concerned as there is conflicting advice.

FOOD
Been researching food and how Inflammatory Arthritis can react to certain foods. It's not Paddison so don't sigh 😁. I am keeping notes on what I eat and how I feel. Apparently - Red meat contains high levels of saturated fats - can exacerbate inflammation. ( Don't eat meat except fish) Fried foods

Stopped taking NDT cold turkey, was this an ignorant mistake?
Hi Everyone, My ME/CFS doctor suspected that I had subclinical hypothyroidism last winter and so I began to take 1 grain NDT daily, which I gradually built up to 1grain am and .5 midday. Although I felt no improvement in my health and I felt no negative effects from taking it. I was just about to get
