Hi, I hope you are all safe. Been struggling since November with lotsa symptoms.

DVT in my leg and taking blood thinners for life now.

Severe abdominal pain in lower right side of stomach that I'm unable to relieve with pain medication. Had CT, ULTRASOUND, BLOODS, CHEST X-RAY AND STOMACH X-RAY. CT scan revealed fecal blockage, was given Laxido and Lactulose. Pain is still the same in stomach.

Now being fast tracked for Endoscopy and Colonoscopy ,

PLease can anyone advise .

Keep safe

Have you tried being gluten free? This eased all my stomach/ digestion issues. I had an endoscopy and was diagnosed with GERD/ gastritis, which cleared completely after being GF for 3 months.

I have had stomach/bowel issues since I had a partial parathyroidectomy and partial thyroidectomy 2 years ago. My symptoms are bloating, excess wind and a mixture of diarrhoea and constipation. I had a colonoscopy last year which diagnosed diverticulosis, the main symptom of which is pain on the right side, below your tummy button. If it gets inflamed I find that cutting food intake and a very bland diet does the trick. However, I find the bloating, excess wind, numbness of pelvis with constipation/diarrhoea persists. I recently read about Coca Cola being used as a treatment for a bowel blockage and I find that drinking a glass of Coca Cola works with me.. I went gluten free nearly two years ago when I started taking Levo and I found it a great help. I don’t know if my symptoms are caused by hypothyroidism but suggest that the Coca Cola is worth a try for a week. I hope you find a remedy to your discomfort soon.
