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. After several days having horrible cramping and gas and the strangest loose stool I have ever seen, my dr ordered two stool tests - the Fecal Occult Blood Immunochemical and the new test, the Microbiology Infectious Diarrhea Panel (which just came out two months ago and checks

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

microlax
As I have posted on here before I have had constipation for over 10 yrs and after a recent colonoscopy I was told there was no cancer but I had diverticulitis as well as IBS and there was still some blockages in my large and small bowel. I am now on holiday on a cruise and I am using one Microlax each

B12 deficiency and gastrointestinal (GI) upset
Many people with B12 deficiency mention 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

Bowel inflammation - any link to PMR/GCA?
I have had problems with diarrhoea for several years now. I have had bad reactions in the past to sertraline (antidepressant) and amoxillin, with constant diarrhoea for several months. However my calprotectin levels (measuring gut inflammation) were normal. Since diagnosis I have been getting frequent

positive occult blood test but no parasites ?
I'm a mid-sixties female with R.A. Constipated until a year ago. Oftentimes in the last year (but not always) my poop looked well-formed but had something that looked like a string coming out the end, up to an inch long. My bowel habits changed a lot a few months ago/much less constipated. A couple

Swollen painful hand
I've had PMR for 2 years. Was started on 40 mg of prednisone. I have slowly gotten down to 13 mg. Recently I tapered to 12 mg but have not felt very well & suddenly my right hand fingers are swollen & very painful. This has never happened before. Is this some kind of flare?

Where does the blood come from?
Hi, I have endometriosis and with it I get bowel symptoms. The most prevalent is pain but I also get cyclical rectal bleeding. I had a colonoscopy and it was all clear they took some biopsies but results i probably wont get this year. I know this is common with endometriosis, but where does the blood

Omeprazole ...side effects...
Update of last post...all now settled thank you.Regarding omeprazole...spoke to GP this morning for steroid script, and asked if I still needed to take omeprazole on such a low dose of pred. He asked if I had ever had indigestion or stomach ulcers in the past...no. He was willing to try me on half my

Complementary therapies?
I have just come to the end of the chemo radiation and seemingly I now wait about three months before having a PET scan and a fibroscopy to see how effective the treatment has been and what might be the next steps. Just for my own sense of well being I am thinking about trying some complementary therapies
