Chronic Diarrhea, potential IBS?? Advice please as doctors aren’t helping!
Hi there, I’m not sure if anyone can help me here but I’m struggling a lot with Diarrhea. Since the first week of jan this year I’ve had an ‘urgent’ feeling of needing to go to the toilet. I’m a nanny and have to take the children to school at 7:40am and it’s usually around 8am mid-drive that it kicks

Went out to dinner
I have a question. It's hardly the most important posted here, but one I suspect we've all faced. I am 57 years old, stage 3b and on a reduced sodium and potassium diet. I've been sticking to it pretty well. But last night I went out to dinner. There was no nutritional information available, so I

In a quandary!
Hi everyone, it’s a very long time since I last posted. I have managed to get down to 4.5mg Pred for my PMRGCA with a few stresses on the way when I had to pause for a while. My iron levels were down a bit recently so my GP put me on 200mg Ferrous Sulfate 1 daily and after a few weeks my iron levels

Recently Diagnosed with Liver Cirrhosis
Hi All, Unfortunately my father is diagnosed with Liver Cirrhosis 3 weeks back. He is diabetic since last 17 years. He never really had alcohol. Recently during our small family vacation, his legs had swelling - which often appeared during travelling due to legs hanging but disappeared after a night

🌼 In season for March 🌼
Here is what is in season for March.....which reminds me it’s so long since I’ve had watercress. Going to have to buy some although maybe it’s slightly early?🙂 Watercress contain Vitamin K and also contains small amounts of vitamin E, thiamine, riboflavin, vitamin B6, folate, pantothenic acid, magnesium

Ibs mixed - help with symptom management
Hi guys I need some advice, I have ibs mixed and normally this is very well managed, with just the occasional cramping episode or frequency in bowel movement, particularly the Diarrhea side to things is normally just loose rather than full on Diarrhea. However last week I had an episode of Diarrhea,

Are Imodium Instants better than loperamide?
I usually buy unbranded loperamide for diarrhoea but have noticed several people mentioning Imodium Instants. Looking at the packet, they don`t seem to be much different from Loperamide and are a lot more expensive. I wondered if really do work faster or is it just a marketing ploy?

Pain management for anal fissure induced anal spasm?
I have an anal fissure and am awaiting a colonoscophy under anaesthetic. After bowel movements, whether my stools are soft or even runny, my fissure cracks open and I often go into an anal spasm. These can change in intensity and duration - but not unusual to have a 12hr spasm. I feel as if I am losing

Sodium Flouride PET/CT Scan Cost
My husband is coming up on his last two rounds of Docetaxel, and then it's time for his follow-up scan to see how well the chemo worked. Well, called to make the appointment, and I was told that Medicare no longer pays for that particular scan. His MO feels it's very important to compare apples-to-apples

Effective Production of Sorbitol and Mannitol from Sugars Catalyzed by Ni Nanoparticles Supported on Aluminium Hydroxide - Merck & Teva
The recent issues with levothyroxine products that contain mannitol (that from Merck and also at least the UK-version of Teva's levothyroxine) is interesting and deeply concerning. I noticed mention in the French thyroid websites of the presence of nanoparticles of nickel and of aluminium - which is
