Food Database Link
I saw a post with a link to a very nice nutritional food list. It had page after page of foods with calories, sodium, potassium, phosphorus, etc. Does anyone have the link to that database/spreadsheet of foods? Thank you!

Happy with gfr going up but....
I just got my 3 month bloodwork back...first one after dropping into 3a category kidney disease in January. My family doctor was useless and I still wouldn’t know about having kd if I didn’t check my bloodwork results online myself. For the last 2 years my gfr dropped from 85 (2019) to 54 (this past

Help with my results
Hi Friends, I got my results back today and i've attached below. Doctor sad i'm a bit low and to up my Levo... to 125 from 100. She'll also send my results to an endocrinologist and see what they recommend, this could take awhile. I was hoping that someone would be able to help me understand my results

Rituximab and statins - a good combo?
Morning Peeps 🙂 I am having my first Rituximab infusion 24th May. I have high cholesterol and have booked an appointment for a phone consultation with my GP today. I think it's about time I went on statins to reduce my high cholesterol. We have discussed it before, some time back, but she was reluctant

Infection?
Good day gents I’m on day 11 post circumcision, I have yellow stuff on my incision lines and/ stitches ….can this be an infection ? Second question , is it ok for me to take warm baths with Epsom salts instead of me putting warm water in a container and cleaning the wound using cotton wool ?

Diabetic Toothpaste ? Yes, you have read correctly , Colgate , the world leader in Toothpaste, now has launched a Toothpaste for Diabetes.
If you are using any commercial toothpaste , if you read through the list of ingredients , you will find a dozen of Synthetic chemical additives in it- some are preservatives, some are foaming agents, some are cleansing agents, some are dispersing agents, some are for flavour and many such things . But

Potassium in the diet
I know that too much salt in the diet is not good for you, so for many many years I've been using (sparingly) so-called "50% sodium salt, which is a mixture of 50% sodium chloride and 50% potassium chloride. It's readily available in supermarkets as a means of reducing your sodium intake. I've now had

Does anyone take supplements only for UC and IBS-C rather than prescription drugs?
I was diagnosed with UC about 20 years ago and have been in remission for a while but have constipation. I'm prescribed Mezavant XL and docusate sodium, when I remember to take them. I've also been taking slippery elm and psyllium husk more often as prefer to take this in an attempt to keep me regular

Feeling helpless
Hi all. I've had IBS since I was 16, I'm now 42 and the past year has been the worse. I feel like I've tried everything and I just don't know where to turn anymore. I have IBS-C and although I have a bowel movement every day I still get terrible upper cramps. I've had all the tests and gastroenterologist

Remedies for Parkinson's constipation
This subject comes up a lot, so I figured it would be useful to post our collective wisdom in one place as a reference. As usual – what works for one may not work for another. So members of our club are invited to also post your remedies in the comments.

The Magnitude Trial (and me, with scatological references)
This is a phase 3, large number international trial of the combination of abiraterone (abi + prednisone) with a newer PARP inhibitor (PARP-I), Niraparib (nira). It is run by Janssen/Johnson & Johnson who hold the patent for abi. They are no doubt hoping to extend the patent and make a combined abi/nira
