Strange “needles” pain in 4 year old with severe constipation
My daughter (4.5) has Ehlers Danlos (connective tissue disorder) which affects her joints and muscles. It causes constipation, unsafe swallow and hyper mobility. We’ve done disimpaction for weeks, many times. The poo that comes out burns her so badly that her skin gets covered in pin pricks of blood

5 weeks on from rifamixin for SIBO and IBS C.
I do think things have settled somewhat, though it has only happened gradually. I realised I needed less and less of the docusate/cosmocol and hardly any now. I try to keep with the low fodmap diet but not totally. Thankfully my pains have reduced (I do wonder if some of that was linked to the laxatives

SIBO and antibiotics
l am now feeling so out of my depth. Having been screened and cleared for obvious causes I have seen an NHS Consultant who says I am positive for SIBO. I have tried to work with low fodmap diet previously but without much success. My test with lactose was “equivocal” but a following one with glucose

Ventricular Standstills
Hi I had a 24hr Holter test in December and found results on my NHS app. This showed 5 pauses from over 3 to 7.13 seconds and a second degree heart block type ll mainly 2:1 conduction. I have had twinges in my left chest and palpations for months. Put on delophine XL and twinges stopped after 3 weeks

Ventricular standstill and laxatives
Hi All I had a 24 hour holter monitor test and the results show 5 pauses of over 3 to 7.13 seconds. I have been prescribed Laxido and docusate for 5 months for chronic constipation. I am having an echocardiogram and listed for a urgent pacemaker. Has anyone experienced heart pauses when on laxatives

pain under ribs
I have been now been told my discomfort is ibs constipation and not hiatus hernia or acid reflux. Symptoms started 8 years ago and steadily deteriorated so I’m now finding it difficult to eat/drink. Domperidone did help (half tab not every day) but GE said not to take it as advice re impact on heart

Brand change in oral solution
Morning and hope everyone has had a lovely Easter . I have just received my prescription and it is a different brand to that which I’ve had since the end of December. Some posts have said to be careful on switching brands . Initially I was taking Teva. The new brand is Mercury Pharmaceuticals. Please

At last I’ve managed 2x5minute runs🤣 and shoe porn 🤣🤣
We’ll after at least 2 months of physio and exercises I’ve finally got to 2x5 minutes of running. I still felt som pain but physio did say that I could carry on so long as it wasn’t too severe. So now I think I will stick with this regime for a while and I’ll try 2 runs a week. It’s slow progress but

Hello! I just want to give this update about my situation.

Sorbolene Lotion experience and my RLS
I was prescribed Sorbolene Lotion for my lower legs for dry skin - had very bad dry skin that was basically permanent. Anyway, I found that my restless legs disappeared after applying the cream. The cream is essentially just a moisturiser - says it has glycerine and vitamin E in it. I was applying it

Morphine constipation help
Only taking 7mg of morphine. In my third month. It is helping my PLMD but the constipation is horrible, and also sedation/fatigue has set in, and while I can drink caffeine it doesn't seem to have any effect. (I wish I had stayed at 4mg--it was helping less but I had more energy and controllable constipation

Advice needed please about liquid Levothyroxine side effects
Hello, I wrote a post about a month ago saying my adult son was unable to get liquid levothyroxine as it was out of stock. He was taking the brill Pharma brand and tolerated it really well. The chemist managed to source Teva liquid levothyroxine three weeks after we asked for a repeat prescription
