Anxious about liver fibroscan results!
I have had fatty liver disease and now NASH (presumably). I have had 3 fibroscans 6 months apart and I'm now Stage 3 Fibrosis. kPa was 5.4, then 7.5 and now 11.4. CAP was 328, 306, and now 216. I am scared out of my mind. I just retired, and I feel like I'm going to drop dead in a year now. I'm not ready

Worried about my IBS and rectal bleeding
Hi everyone, Recently I’ve been diagnosed with IBS. I’ve had colonoscopy, ultrasound and multiple blood tests and this was the diagnosis they’ve given me.

Polycystic Kidney disease & receiving a Kidney transplant
If you had a transplant and it was due to polycystic kidney disease (PKD), I would like to know if you had the first year low white blood counts and low hemoglobin. 7 mos post transplant my spouse that found out he had PKD at age 30 (now 59), is having since mid March major hemoglobin low numbers. I

Cholestagel stock problems
Hi I believe I suffer from Bile Acid Malabsorption. For 8 years I’ve suffered from constant diarrhoea as many as 6 times a day, unable to eat out unless a toilet was at hand. Always told by my GP that I had IBS. After seeing tabloid article about BAM I asked my GP if I could try Questran. He refused

Hypothyroid - Urged Tamoxifen or Evista to prevent breast cancer
Hi all: I have been struggling to get my hypothyroid symptoms under control and making progress. I managed to lose 30 pounds over the past two years and hit a plateau. In December I managed to convince my Primary Care Provider (PCP) to prescribe Cytomel (U.S. name for T3) , and we were in the process

We eat what we are – let’s detoxify the word ‘chemical’
The only thing chemical free is a perfect vacuum. [i]"Food is a bunch of chemicals, nothing more, nothing less. When we eat, we eat chemicals. Some are simple, such as water or salt. Some are complex, such as the proteins in steak. But they’re all chemicals. There is no part of food that is not chemical
