Are my symptoms consistent with B12 deficiency especially burning sensation.
I also have slow transit constipation for which I have to take a lot of
laxatives
. My movements are usually approaching diarrhea soI wonder if this affects absorbing of some things.

Recovery after Mitral Valve Replacement
Today GP will call me as I was told to book the GP within 10 days of discharge to check the medicines I am on (he will stop some of them like omeprazole, codeine and
laxatives
I guess) My only issue so far is that I had achilles heal problem before the op and it came back which affects my mobility.

RA and the gut
Not keen on
laxatives
would prefer natural remedies. Anything on gut health would be good too. Help!

Queries re iron absorption
. - I had a week of trying my best to up my iron levels by only dietary means (lots of liver, liver pate, beef, spinach, pumpkin seeds, orange juice), but it confirmed that I really can't tolerate red meat at all - I quickly became so bloated I looked pregnant and had to rely on
laxatives
which is not

Colon update
He put me on some
laxatives
today so i’m gonna start those and hopefully go back to normal. I’m hoping that’s all there is to it. If it doesn’t get any better then i’m gonna see him again next week. Is this good that he said the xray is clear?

IBS general: my experience
Firstly, they are
laxatives
and will give you diarrhoea (sodium phosphate was once used to prepare patients for colonoscopies!). Secondly, they are associated with cardiovascular disease and accelerated aging.

How long to get back to NSR after a colonoscopy?
Then came a day of foul
laxatives
(2 litres 😖😖😖) and hours on the loo. Since then I've been waking up every night with what feels like intermittent fast heart beats and jolts, and had the same all day long, plus a headache and very little appetite.

Open Heart Surgery, (OHS). General comments.
I suffered from constipation, a common problem after a GA, and I took all the
laxatives
on offer. Three days without taking a dump seemed an eternity, and even slight straining caused considerable pain.

Desperate for advice
I also think am taking too many different tablets and
laxatives
at the same time which is not helping me. Instead of taking one at a time and seeing which one works best am taking the whole lot. Sorry for posting again

Very low
I have IBS mixed mainly constipation can go 3/4 days with no BM then when I go from taking
laxatives
it is soft but I don’t empty probably at all. Have a small BM and then my bum just feels constantly full.

Continued worsening of my GI symptoms in spite of treatment by a dozen GI specialists. Anyone else have had a similar experience?
Tried all the new, expensive medications as well as the gamut of traditional
laxatives
, suppositories and enemas to no relief. My symptoms have become more severe since the onset with new ones added almost weekly. Lately I am having excruciating ano-rectal pain not associated with time of BM.

SOD or Autoimmune
Add some
laxatives
, have the liver biopsy and let's see what happens. He will then (apparently) be able to have a better idea what is going on.

Explosion
I ve not had one good day in 5 weeks not even Xmas day this is horrendous now I just want to be back to the way I was before I had my Covid booster (yes that is what I think had cause all my abdo/bowel issues) Do other constipation sufferers feel this way after taking
laxatives
to help them go ?
