Macrogol (Dulcoease)
Hi, has anyone else found that laxative treatments containing Macrogol increases their pain and bloating considerably? I have just been put on this and Mebeverine, but am still in a lot of pain, which seems worse when I take Macrogol. Thanks

Tenesmus etc
Hello. I have had chronic consipation for for over 30 years and rely on suppositories to get my bowels working. More recently I have had loose & fragmented stool with bouts of diarrhea. Difficult for others to understand but even when I feel a neeed to "go", I usually need suppositories to get started

follow up sigmoidoscopy
I go for my follow up sigmoidoscopy on Tuesday to check for regrowth of my precancerous polyp that was removed 6 months ago. What are the chances that these regrow in the same spot and if so, could they already have turned to cancer if they grow back within 6 months? The closer I get to the test, the

can understand your concern but try not to worry. For me the worst thing is the bowel prep. Ensure you’re near a loo! During the procedure I was shown how to use gas and air effectively and it really worked well for me. I also had sedation- don’t be brave! I was given Buscopan at the end of the

colitis and Psoriasis
Hello, I’ve recently been diagnosed with colitis and also experienced some Psoriasis. Some people seem to think this all leads back to the liver. I just wondered if anyone had a similar experience and if there are tests available to see what I can possibly do?

always hungry
Hi, I’ve suffered from stomach issues since December 2022. The obvious stuff - bloating, constipation and then diarrhoea, minor cramps, and nausea etc. I’m in my 4th doctors appointment for the problem, and all my blood tests are clear. I’ve recently been given IBS relief tablets, but I’m hesitant

Alendronic Acid and diverticulosis
since my Rheumy discovered I have two fractured vertebra, she is insisting I take AA. At my Dexa scan last summer AA was suggested but left to my decision as it showed ostopaenia not osteoporosis. I took AA last weekend and experienced heartburn, indigestion and difficulty and some pain swallowing. I

Doxazosin
I have recently been prescribed Doxazosin to help with hypertension. I was concerned because one of the minor side effects is diarrhoea. I already have chronic diarrhoea due to microscopic colitis.

Raised Liver Markers - Octasa/ Mesalamine?
I started taking Octasa for Crohns in October 23. Just had blood tests (for another issue) and dr called to say that my liver enzyme markers were raised (ALT 255, AST 99, ALP 239, GT 334.. all substantially above the top end of normal) and they want to do an ultrasound to check my liver. The only difference
