ACTH test done but I want these other tests done
I had my ACTH Stim Test done this morning - although I only saw the nurse this is what I've found out: - The Endo/doctor will tell me the result when it comes back. - The nurse who carried out the test explained that the doctors aren't sure why I'm poorly and want to check my adrenal function - but

C T Scans are minor but serious problem.
Up until yesterday (Jan 22 2014) I was alwaysknew to drink a lot of fluids after the C T Scan to rid my system of the Barium that will stop the Mississippi river if left unchecked . Without informing the people that hand out these little warning papers , someone at M D Anderson decided to add a laxative

Anaemia and endless tests for the cause
Has anyone else had to undergo five progressively invasive, separate tests for colo-rectal (bowel) cancer just because they have been diagnosed with anaemia? It will have been five months of investigations and worry before I get the final decision (fingers crossed for the all-clear but I can't help getting

problems swallowing
well I went for a barium swallow at the hospital yesterday as I keep getting food and sometimes drink stuck in my throat and then have to cough it back up. apparently I have a condition called dysmotility of the oesophagus. I should sleep propped up in bed and not eat if lying down. I am now waiting

Stomach cramps and nausea 3 months post op.
Hi all, my husband has been experiencing stomach cramps and nausea quite a lot, he has been also been constipated which probably accounts for these symptoms, but as a precautionary measure his consultant has requested a barium swallow, which has got him nervous again thinking the worst. Has anybody experienced

Is this really IBS??? so many of my symptoms arent really typical of IBS but 3 gastroentrologists all agree it is a functional bowel problem
I woke up one morning 4 years ago with morning diahorrea which has continued religiously every morning (just once thankfully!!!!) till the present day. Initially I was bothered with nausea and stomach grumblings.... which caused me to drastically reduce the amount I was eating with the result of weight

A cyst was found on ovary but they are not worried about it and didn't think that was cause of my symptoms so sent for a barium

Having undergone blood tests, barium enema, sigmoidoscopy and endoscopy which all came back clear I have been diagnosed with a functional bowel disorder. My symptoms are mainly nausea, morning diahorrea, extreme fatigue and light-headedness

Bowel Incontinence
Hello, At 16 I was diagnosed with Diverticulitis. When I was 30 I was told I have Spastic Bowel Syndrome (which I think is IBS) after having a Barium Enema. I have just turned 45 and over the last few months I've been having increasingly more frequent bouts of Bowel Incontinence and feel I have no choice

If you can't face the thought of having a colonoscopy...
...go for the alternative which is a virtual version called CT colonography. The procedure is available on the NHS, but I think you have to fight your corner to get one done.The following info is from NICE: 'CT colonography is used to examine the colon and rectum, and detect abnormalities

New to this site, so pleased I've found it.
I am a 70 year old lady and have had various tests recently, the last one an endoscopy which was clear. Blood tests are negative re.coeliac disease but show I'm very low on iron, barium enema 5 years ago was clear. GP thinks I have IBS and after reading posts here I'm inclined to agree. Is it "normal
