Rare diarrhoea
Would like to ask if switching from IBS c to IBS d is common. I’ve been trying to manage constipation for 40 years. I’m used to that.Yesterday’s urgency was really anxiety provoking for me. Thank you for reading.

constipation leading to Pelvic Floor dysfunction
I have IBS - C and over the years the medical fraternity have prescribed laxatives for me. I’m following a low fermentation & FODMAP diet which works well for me. However my constipation due to a lot of straining has turned into PFD which basically means my anal muscles are out of sync. Does anyone suffer

thank you
thank you everyone for all the help you gave me recently, my husband is improving but will never be better like before, but any improvement is better than how he was. I too am feeling a little better, I did go to the hospital in the end, it seems I keep getting partial bowel obstruction and it eventually

IBS-C pain at night
any suggestions? I either feel like I need to have several snacks before I can fall asleep at night (often because I’m so careful during the day that I sometimes undereat) OR I have severe bloating and constipation and pain that keeps me up for hours!

side /back and stomach pain
Edit! Ok so I didn’t pick up the antibiotics Friday as it was 50% improved . It’s still not completely gone though. Maybe not even that!? If you were to stand with your hand on your left hip /waist with thumb at back ( you know !)that gap under rib hard to explain , that’s where it is and that part

Weight loss and Ketogenic diets
Hi Team,I'm curious about people experience with Ketogentic diets? I've let medication settle for four months now, and can see that much needed weight loss will be a grind . 😐 I have read about Ketogentic diets and was generally sceptical about dietary restriction. First line information often states

Is it the New shape of Aerobika mouthpiece causing my mouth ulcers?
Just wondering if any of my fellow chest clearance buddies are experiencing recurrent mouth ulcers ? . Think mine is due to the different shape of Aerobika mouthpiece.? My newest device comes with a sort of ‘lip’ to the edge of it …Grasping at straws here to get a reason.. Mouth ulcers are so sore!

Vagus Nerve Stimulation for RLS
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37846650/ An interesting study on Vagus Nerve Stumulation on 15 drug resistant RLS patients showed significant improvements in quality of life scale and that 2 of the 15 reduced their IRLSS below 5. The study doesn't say what meds the patients were taking. Sadly, they

Hi all! Had my endoscopy last Friday.. my follow up (awaiting biopsies) I have mild erosive Gastritis which I understand can prevent B12 from absorbing? My Gastroenterologist says I haven’t got B12 deficiency ( before endoscopy) last test was 6 months ago! 226 ng/l (178ng/L - 2000ng/L (I did quote

Hip pain
Been diagnosed with IBS but from reading other posts I realise I am getting off lightly with symptoms. Possibly microscopic colitis. I just want to know if anyone else gets a lot of pain in area of right hip? Could this be IBS or just OA? Thanks

Any advice
Hi I’ve gone down a very long road of years of pain swelling but Ana negative. Over a year ago I started with pleural effusion bilateral then pericardial effusion, respiratory kept saying connective tissue disease. February rheumatologist got involved and started me on 20mg prednisone, I’m now on 10mg

New member here. Looking to commiserate with other IBS sufferers about how they are dealing with symptoms. I’ve been told that a lot of this (bloating, constipation) is brought on by stress. But then you start “doomscrolling” to better understand your symptoms and you see all kinds of stories of people

Cataract after Preserflo treatment
I'm 4 months after glaucoma surgery / preseflo, I still have blurred vision - today I was diagnosed with a cataract on the operated eye and also retinal swelling. Does anyone have experience with such a case - how to treat it (cataract surgery will help). I will be glad for the reactions - experience

Polyps and IUI
At my baseline scan last week a 3mm polyp was found on my lining, it wasn't there on my first round of IUI, which resulted in a BFN, but has appeared this time round. I am now in the difficult position of deciding whether to carry on with round two, due to surge tomorrow or Saturday, or to stop and investigate

Heartburn
I know that PPIs are taboo but what about famotidine and it's cousins? I am in need of something longer lasting than Gaviscon. Thanks.

Vertigo or dizziness?
Just reducing from 6.5mg Pred to 6mg. All seems well but yesterday evening, as I was sitting and reading a book, I started to feel 'out of it' so to speak. A bit dizzy and as though I needed to take a large breath as I had forgotten to breathe. This morning I felt dizzy when I got up in that I wanted
