After many years on levothyroxine 100mg, I have now been prescribed Armour thyroid 60mg (1 grain) to be taken twice a day, but starting at ½ grain twice a day.

Bisacodyl
Taken Senna, Fybogel and Laxido and haven’t had any bowel movements. I’ve seen people say to take Bisacodyl as this is quite strong. What are people’s experiences with this? Does it work? When is the best time to take it?

Stomach cramps
Hi lovely ladies! My mum is 6 weeks post primary debulking surgery, and bowel resection and is still having some bowel issues. She's had pretty bad stomach cramping all day today. Is this normal? Does anyone have any tips? She's still on laxatives and drinking peppermint tea for gas. Would love to hear

Diverticulitis
Just been diagnosed with diverticulitis after colonoscopy, luckily no cancer found. Unfortunately I’m having to wear pads as I am experiencing “leaking” after a bowel movement. Any help with diet or tips, I would appreciate, as I am reluctant to take Loperamide on a regular basis.

Breakthrough with the cause of IBD - may lead to similar discoveries with other autoimmune diseases?
Just spotted this on my BBC News notifications. BBC News - Major cause of inflammatory bowel disease found https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c1wwdd6v2wjo It's written in layman's language, but seems to say they have found that there is a genetic link and that they have drugs already that might treat

Managing Pudendal Neuralgia pain
Hi all, I joined this forum to remain on top of developments around the complex pelvic floor issues affecting women and to seek support from others. In my experience these are generally poorly understood by doctors in the UK especially at consultant level and there is an absence of multi agency support

Warfarin to Edoxaban
I have for the last few months been prescribed 60mg Edoxaban after 10 years of taking Warfarin after a DVT and PE. This due to my GP surgery merger with a bigger practice. Warfarin was my only option in 2013 before these new drugs became available. I'm told it's safer and no INR blood tests. I'd like

Good morning, I’ve got to have a video capsule endoscopy in a few weeks. I wanted to know if anyone has had this procedure done please??? I'm very anxious as I have diverticulitis as well as Crohn’s disease! I know it can get stuck and if can’t be dislodged they then have to do surgery. I don’t do

Turmeric Curcumin: BCM-95 or Meriva - Maybe Neither
I switched my Turmeric to BCM-95 some years ago. I had read an article “researchers believe that the ar-turmerone derivatives... can be used as new therapeutic agents for Parkinson’s disease (a). The search was on to find a supplement with turmerone. I found BCM-95 had some essential oils in it. I asked

Methotrexate and hair thinning
Hi everyone. I’ve been on methotrexate for almost exactly 2 years and I can’t work out if my hair is currently thinning, it was fine before but these past few weeks it seems like more is coming out when I brush it. I don’t know if I’m imagining it or if it’s just going through it’s normal resting phase
