Good start
I've just weighed myself. I lost 2kg,in a week. I have my MRI scan tomorrow, so the doctor can look at gallstones in my bladder. I'm not looking forward to the scan. The last time I had one done, I was very dizzy. Well, at least I know what is going on. The doctors might make there minds up then

Not a good week
I have to pout. I'm afraid for Sunday's weigh in. I've been bad. Mostly because of my sprained foot, and then comfort food. My sprain is better so I may cycle down to rowing Saturday morning. But not crazy, if it's hurting I will stay. I'd rather heal then have a long term injury. I just have to do my

Lately it seems it doesn't matter what I eat, i get a dull ache and this sickly feeling. I feel really bad at

Low Stomach Acid and Apple Cider Vinegar
I have low stomach acid and I have been taking 2 capsules Betaine HCL & Pepsin with every meal as well as supping lemon water all day, but my supplements are getting really expensive and I would like to change over to Apple Cider Vinegar with 'mother' - I have got Aspall's Organic unfiltered at the moment

elevated CA 19-9
Does anyone here have elevated CA 19-9? This is a cancer marker for Bile duct and/or Pancreas.I have slightly elevated Ca 19-9, slightly elevated AMA M2, slightly elevated Pancreatic enzyme but LTFs and MRCP are normal (except moderately enlarged bile duct which may be caused by gallbladder removal).

Fed up
Hi So I've suffered with IBS for years; so many other things link to it though, that I often don't know what's going on. More recently, in addition to the IBS, I have been diagnosed with Gallstones. It's strange as the symptoms I have are diarrhea, acute pain etc etc.. sound familiar? I eat a healthy

Fenofibrate?
Hi- it's been a while since I've posted but hoping you can help. I have to see my consultant in 2 weeks and want to be prepared. He has twice put me on fenofibrate( I came off the 1st time shortly after starting with my gp's approval) because my lft readings remain high. This would suggest urso not

Gallstones
I have had gallstone symptoms every few days for the past 6 weeks. The attacks of pain last for up to 5 hours and leave me drained. I also vomit sometimes. The pain is in the centre beneath my breasts and radiates to my shoulders and upper abdomen. It causes me to shiver. The GP initially thought I

PBC or not!?
Ok folks. What do you think? Just had an ercp with sphincterotomy. Dr removed stones and sludge. Gastro dr now things that maybe I don't have PBC because my Lfts have almost apart from one, which he couldn't remember which one, have returned to normal after years of not being normal. He did say it
