Pre-biotics vs post biotics - do we need pre, post or both?
This is a follow up post to the recent one about inulin. I had spent a lot of time involved with post-biotics but never really considered pre-biotics at all to date. This all changed quite recently when I stumbled across inulin which is described in a recent post so will not repeat all those comments

Result of tests following bleeding
HiI posted about a month ago as I was worried about my son as he was bleeding after pooing. His GP thought it was IBD but the results have come back clear. Calprotectin was fine as were his bloods other than slightly low liver function and slightly raised haemoglobin. He thinks its chilli that's the

Gluten free diet
I have been on a Gluten Free diet for more then 10 years. Recently I have had abdominal pain, flatulence, and reflux after food. I found out you can buy a Coeliac kit from the chemist, but not sure about it. I feel I should go to the GP but have been in hospital in the past and the DR there said I had

Sertraline nausea and burping
My long standing bowel problems have finally become too much for me and 2 weeks ago I was put onto Sertraline to help with the anxiety and depression. Two of the side effects are nausea and burping. Has anyone experience of this and do they have any tips for coping with it?

Awful chronic nausea
I have had PMR for over 11years and still on 11mgs. I have never been pain free. This morning I had a gastroscopy because I have been suffering worsening nausea over the last 18 months or so. At first I didn’t realise it was all connected because it came and went. Now it is daily and has been making

Bubbling sensations in the rectum area and very low gurgling sounds, has anyone had the same?
I have had blood tests and a colonoscopy. Everything is fine apart from high iron levels. But I was just wondering if anyone has had the same sensations/symptoms in the subject line? Any advice or reply from someone that has had the same symptoms would be appreciated. I have also just had a FIT test

Ulcerative Colitis or Colon Cancer? (sorry for the nasty photos. 1 here & 1 below in reply!) (Couldn't figure out how to inc. 2 in my post)
I'm a 67 female with R.A.

Gastroenterology tel appointment
Finally had my annual gastro appointment. It was a bad line and he talked very fast. Seemed like he was reading a script and was hardly listening to me as he had already made up his mind. He said all my tests were normal and I have IBS. I already know that! He said I have a healthy bowel. By now I

B12 deficiency and gastrointestinal (GI) upset

I came across a brief article that discusses some aspects of this relationship. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34454714/ The article introduction includes the following statement: "To date, clinical guidance for best practices related

prucalopride - Tips
Hi Have been suffering with chronic constipation for that last 2 years, plus pain in the pelvic floor area & rectum. Mixture of pressure & burning pain. My NHS Gastro & physio appointments are currently 3/4mths apart so if I make any kind of improvement it is diminished by the time I get back to them

Physical (not behavioural) causes for constipation?
I honestly thought constipation and soiling was in our past but sadly it’s become an issue again for my 7 year old. 😕 My daughter’s movicol dose has rapidly doubled, we’re back to toilet sits after breakfast and dinner yet she’s started to soil again, and we just seem to be swinging between big piles

Krebs Cycle
Has anyone’s heard of the Krebs Cycle, also known as the Citric Acid Cycle? It’s a series of biochemical reactions that happen in the mitochondria and is critical for the formation of energy. Krebs has a book called “The Principles and Applications of Ozone Therapy”. The cycle converts NADH to NAD

Colonoscopy
I had a very stressful colonoscopy last Thursday. Stressful in itself but rendered more so by the Practice Nurse who fasttracked me, saying, ‘Good luck, I hope I’m wrong.’ I defy anyone to not think the worst after that! Anyway, the scope was clear of cancer, or polyps but confirmed what I already knew
