I.B.S AND THE PROBLEMS.
I.B.S. destroys your life in so much as the simple things like a walk, drive in the car, going out socially, yoga-you name it, is a real problem. Wearing special disposable pants, incontinence type disposable sheets underneath the main sheet and how do you regulate say imodium and peppermint oil capsules

Advice on Iron Supplements Please
My GP has agreed that I should have a blood test to check my iron levels but in the meantime has suggested that I should take an iron supplement 2-3 times a day. Based on previous advice seen on this forum, this seems excessive so I am thinking that I will just take gentle iron once a day as shown on

I.B.S.
I am a new to this website. I have suffered from I.B.S. for years and it is getting worse so it effects me as like so many others, a fear of going out for walks etc. I am on imodium and peppermint capsules and a very loose sphincter muscle which will be investigated within NHS time. Yes I do suffer from

CKD minerals and labs?
Hello. New here and new to ckd. I’m just wondering, with your lab results, when you have high potassium do you also have high everything else? Sodium calcium etc? Asking because my dad has consistently high potassium and low sodium. But right now he’s having mild edema on his legs. Our nephro keeps saying

Obstructed defecation syndrome
I have suffered from IBS all my life (i`m in my 60s), mainly with occasional bouts of diarhoea and pain, but about 5 years ago the symptoms changed. I needed to go to the loo at least 5 times every day but didn`t have diarhoea and struggled to pass motions even when they were soft, and always felt

Cancer Doctor Recommends Xofigo (Radium 223) Because PSA is Rising Again After 10 Months of ADT with Firmagon and Zytiga
My PSA started rising again 2 months ago. It is now at 37. The highest PSA was 160 when this all started about a year ago. Testosterone is still negligible. Recent bone scan shows some improvement in old bone metastases but a couple of new ones just popped up. The VA oncologist is scheduling me for

Salt or no salt
Just after I had 2 stents fitted just over 4 years ago, I was advised to cut salt out of my diet as it was considered that there was enough salt in the food already. Recently had a blood test that reveals that I’m low in sodium. Anyone shed any light on this? Cheers.

Blood Test Results - Comments on levels please
Well I got my blood iron levels back today and I need a little help in understanding where they stand. 1. Serum Ferritin is 376ug/l. I believe this is acceptable as it seems the level for RLS should be above 250. 2. Serum Transferrin is 1.79 g/L. The Lab indicated that the normal range was 2-4. 3. Serum

Low folate - what causes it and what does it affect?
Hello, I recently had some private blood tests and my folate level was low: Vit D: 100 nmol/L (50 - 175) Folate (serum): 9.15 nmol/L (8.83 - 60.8) Ferritin: 100 ug/L (13 - 150) Active B12: 131 pmol/L (37.5 - 188) I was surprised with the low folate because my diet includes plenty of folate-rich foods

ACR Ratio Confusion
My PCP has issued labs to monitor my kidneys. To date no formal diagnosis. My blood sodium, potassium, creatinine; always in the normal range. My urine pH, Protein, Glucose, Ketones, Erythrocytes, Nitrate, and Leukocytes are also always in the normal range. Two generations of Acute Nephritis in family

Is there anyone that can further educate me on the combination of POTS, FND, and other medical issues one of my best friends is facing?
One of my best friends is struggling with many medical conditions and has been diagnosed with having POTS, a FND, has what we call “episodes” in the middle of classes and at times will run out of rooms to avoid being made a spectacle of in front of others. They shortest amount of time they usually last

Anaemia problems ?
Pooh bear (the wife) has been having a very rough time of it recently. Surgery to rebuild her hip following too many steroids, breathing problems and sepsis which thankfully was caught early. A constant problem she seems to have is Anaemia, particularly after a bad flare. Her haemoglobin count falls

Comments, advice, info, etc
I was dx with CKD, Phase3, in 2018. GRF stayed between 55-60, I spill protein and have since being dx with diabetes in 2003. In the last 8 months or so, protein in urine has gone way up, as has my potassium. Now trying to stay low potassium, cutting sodium. My question is: I rarely salt my food
