So many questions ??
I am 71 years old, weigh 8 stone, generally fit and healthy. I have probably had RLS for many years causing the occasional sleepless night or restless evening in the chair. I had my first prolonged nighttime episode last November which lasted a few nights. Nothing since except tingling in my left leg

Does anyone use ‘Active Iron’ in UK?
I searched for ferrous bisglycinate on Amazon UK which came up with Active Iron 25mg. I’ve now received it and found it contains ferrous sulfate 25mg! Now I don’t know if this is the right product or dose. Can anyone help?

Iron supplements dosage
Is 20mg of gentle iron each night enough? It worked well the first night. What a wonderful relief it was. The second night it did work within 70 mins but returned within 3 hours.. I wonder why it didn't last as long? Would a slow release be better, like ferrous sulphate 325mg? Or will it need to be

Salt - serum sodium
I have just had my two monthly blood test. Whilst my ESR and CRP are within the normal range my serum sodium is 130mmol/L. (133 - 146.00mmol/L). It has been like this for the past year or so and everyone has ignored it 'til now. I am not one for pills unless I really need them like prednisolone. Can

Topical peppermint oil for pain management?
Hey, everyone, I'm new here I'm looking for more over the counter options especially low cost. I spend far more than I would like to admit on managing my IBS. I have only heard of Peppermint oil capsules but has anyone tried applying it topically to their abdomen? I'm not sure it would be effective

Any tips on what I can do?
if I have one or two beers or if I have 10+, the next morning I will tend to go to the toilet with Diarrhoea 3-4 times fairly close to each other in times, and after this I would take Imodium so that I can get on with my day without having to worry about where the closest toilets are or if I’ll even

Ferrous Sulphate 325mg modified release
Hi, is there anyone else in the UK using modified (sustained/slow) release ferrous sulphate 325mg or have you been able to obtain the normal, immediate release ferrous sulphate in this dose? My GP is telling me it is only available as modified release (or this may be the only one on their prescribing

Anyone experience ectopics(Extra beats) with pain when anxious, stressed or intake stimulants? or is it just me?
I noticed that when I'm stressed or anxious, or have had sodium or coffee(even decaf) as too much of that even since it contains some caffeine..I get ecopics but mine are NOT skipped beats but extra beats and they are sometimes less noticeable, then some are more noticable and then some are painful..

Apologies -Loperamide Liquid Oral solution Discontinued
My post should have said Loperamide Liquid Oral Solution has been discontinued. I have tried taking half of an instant melt Imodium which wasn’t very successful so I will try to get tablets (as opposed to capsules ) and break up! Not sure why the liquid has been discontinued!

3 weeks into disimpaction but can’t get to thinner stools than gravy
My two year old is on the disimpaction regime and we’re now three weeks in. Done all the correct macrogol doses and still on 8 per day since day 7 (now day 21) and for the last two nights we’ve added one evening dose of 2.5ml Of sodium Pico. Still just gravy stools consistently. Do we keep going? Up

Buprenorphine
I am currently taking 300 mg Pregabalin around 7pm and 2x 30 g of codeine (sometimes 3x 30g) during the night. I am also taking ferrous sulphate at 10pm each night. This isn’t working. I take the first codeine half an hour before bedtime and maybe sleep for 1 to 2hours. I then have to walk around/have

Low Sodium Bread SEARCH
Found a bread machine on facebook marketplace for $25, almost new and am trying recipes with no salt. So far it is good toasted, but not very good for sandwiches (which I eat open face). But there are some really good herbal version that are tasty. So, I am trying to find my favorite recipe. No idea

IBS D
Hi, I’ve suffered with mixed ibs for 7 years but having a really bad flare up last few months of ibs D. So I’ve been taking Imodium for 2 days a week while I’m at work, which has helped to slow it down. But about 5 days after I’ve had the Imodium I have explosive diarrhoea! Is that because the Imodium

Severely constipated what next?
I've been slightly constipated for weeks until 8 days ago . Then I just stopped. Been in severe pain since and tried every laxative. Been to doctors and she put me on docusate sodium. Now I'm on molaxole powder and having 8 sachets in 6 hours for faecal impaction. Still nothing at all. I'm in pain now
