Hi everyone, first of all thank you for taking the time to read my post. I had my Gall Bladder out last year in April. Since then I have had nothing but problems, I don't know whether it is all connected to having this removed but I think it is too much of a coincidence. First I have had severe pain

hi Coeliac disease runs strongly in my family, my Nan, mom and brother all have it - I had been tested regularly for it over the last 30 years but had severe food poisoning in November 2018 which triggered coeliac disease and a lactose intolerance. Tests always came back negative but never had any

Any idea what might be going on?

A CT scan showed chronic active inflammation in my terminal ileum and caecum. I then had an abnormal

My consultant suggested I start this over 6 weeks ago and since then I’ve had several blood tests, X-ray and in 3 weeks an appointment to discuss the meds etc with the nurse which I understand all this needs to be carried out.

hello, I was recently admitted to hospital for severe weight loss due to my ongoing gastrointestinal issues. I have been tested for everything but oddly a liquid stool test showed pancreatic elastase levels at <15 which is very low. This result does explain my chronic diarrhea, undigested food and

Hi there, despite following all advice and treatments suggested by doctors I kept having rectal bleeding for 8 months, possibly due to a chronic anal fissure according to the last GI specialist I saw, though the previous Dr’s concluded no fissure was present and one haemorrhoid that was very small..I

Hi I had a surgical ablation 2 weeks ago which will be followed by a RF ablation in 3 weeks’ time (the procedure which I am going through is a staged hybrid intervention).

Hi I just got diagnosed with colon cancer last week and I am lucky I will have the operation to remove it on Tuesday - a very good Kaiser surgeon got me in quickly. It's not clear if it has advanced - I hope not- so we will see. I had a CT scan for the CLL in March when they saw something in the colon
