Could this be IBS-C or slow transit?
I'm 79 and suffered with constipation on and off for more than 10 years and got to the stage where I only have a movement by using bisacodyl, nothing else works for me, I take 3 every 5days, which clears me out I feel well, appetite is good and have not lost any weight. Had FIT and blood tests both

Tirosint - can anyone advise how I can find out if this brand is available in my area?
I am struggling to access lactose free Levothyroxine at my GP surgery’s pharmacy and have read that Tirosint has fewer excipients than most brands of T4 and wondered if anyone could advise me the best way forward for accessing this brand/or other similar brands? Many thanks.

ferritin level suddenly jumped.. can this happen??
hello forum friends. I went to my gp last week and requested a referral for an iron infusion. I said I’d pay for a private haematology initial consultation if necessary. he’s referred me via nhs but I had to have up to date iron tests.. My ferritin mid June was 32. I had been taking three arrows

LOL I’m popping on here, again, for your honest opinion and advice. I have been OFF all forms of treatment since the beginning of January (when I was told there was evidence that Ibrance and Anastrazole were failing). A brief stint with Xeloda (for 6 days...6 days of pure torture)…and to tell you

Possible irritable bowel

Would oral iron be useful given my Iron levels (in description)?
I have RLS and got some bloodwork done. The following came up: IRON , SERUM 91.0 µg/dL TOTAL IRON BINDING CAPACITY ( TIBC), SERUM 353 µg/dL FERRITIN , SERUM 116.1 ng/mL I was wondering if Oral Iron would be useful for me or end up giving me toxic levels of it.

Hi, I’ve had stomach discomfort for more than 30 years. Had every test endoscopy twice, every medication and no change in fact it’s worse than it’s ever been. Wake every night at 2.30 with a stomach ache. Huge gas builds up like a blast. I feel it move, go back to bed and it builds again. I’ve tried

Recent iron results - not sure what to do now
Hi everyone, I've recently had an iron panel (NHS) after 10 weeks of supplementing with 1 then 2 x Three arrows per day, as well as taking cacao liquid (as recommended here) in the hope of increasing my stubbornly low ferritin. However I'm not sure how to read the results so any advice very welcome

The hospital has given me a list of foods I can eat, but at least half of them aren’t gluten free or the gf equivalent is higher in fibre. I’m also vegetarian and on a low fat diet, and at the moment
