H. pylori breath test
Does anyone know anywhere in the UK where I could get an h. pylori breath test done? The only place I've found insists I see a consultant first (kerching) and there's no guarantee I'll get tested, then there's a good chance he'll up the ante with a gastroscopy and finally the follow up. Suddenly it's

Gastroscopy
Hi all, I hope I’ve posted this in the right group. I’m due to have a gastroscopy next week and was wondering if anyone has experience of having this done without sedation. How bad was it? Thanks

Varices
I was diagnosed with cirrhosis due to NAFLD in February . Just had a gastroscopy which shows I have grade 2 varices. I have been started on beta blockers and will go back in 3 months for recheck and possible banding. Rather scary stuff! 3 questions: Does banding hurt? I have been going to the gym, to

Anxious wait for results update
I had my Barrett’s surveillance gastroscopy almost three weeks ago and a ‘lump’ was discovered. The results of my biopsy and CT scan are apparently back yet I am still non the wiser about what is happening. Apparently the biopsy sample was inadequate for proper interpretation and the term ‘equivocal’

Suffering in silence
Hello all, My name is Emily, I’m 19 years old and I’m from the UK. I have just signed up to health unlocked and joined this society. Long story short, 3 years ago I had surgery to remove an extremely abnormal ulcer near my cervix. I also experienced leg sores, always suffered with mouth ulcers, coughing

New Member - Query re. B12 Injections Stopping B12 Getting To Cells Unless Serum B12 High
Hello, I'd be grateful if someone could help me with this query. I read in a recent post that B12 shots could cause problems with B12 getting into cells unless serum levels were very high. Is this due to sensitisation of the cells because of the huge level of B12 in the bloodstream for some time following

Still looking for answers and a diagnosis after 3 years - losing heart. Any ideas ?
Foolishly perhaps, I had pinned all my hopes on 2nd visit to Gastroenterologist yesterday. Not sure where to go or what to do now : I do NOT have Coeliac disease - although I cannot find another reason for flattened mucosa in duodenum found during gastroscopy, blood tests have ruled it out now. All

Waiting for results and very anxious
I was diagnosed with a small area of Barrett’s oesophagus at the base of my gullet about 4 years ago. Two days ago I underwent my second surveillance gastroscopy and knew by the amount of time they took doing the procedure that something wasn’t right. They took a great many biopsies and when it was all

Nausea and vomiting stopped by one B12 injection an indication of undiagnosed PA?
Hi guys Newbie here! :-) Apologies for the long post - I don't know who else to ask! I have been diagnosed with iron-deficiency anaemia on and off all my life, from toddler age onwards. I don't know that my B12 levels were ever tested. I read about B12 a few years ago and started supplementing randomly

Hi. My name is Dena. I have PBC.
I took this photo this morning after breakfast of my skin on my arms and hands. I also have these bruised and torn skin areas on my face, neck, and chest. I've mentioned before about having extreme itching and this is what I get when I scratch. I try to keep my fingernails cut short so I don't rip or

GGT, ALT, ALP, BCAA and Glycine, coeliac disease and/or SIBO : anyone able to help with results ?
So far, in the past 3 years, I have had a diagnosis of firstly
B12 deficiency
then
functional B12 deficiency
because my MMA was raised. This diagnosis, from GP, was confirmed by the laboratory. Later disputed by haematologists. Then Lactulose breath test result suggested MMA raised

Bellybutton hernia post total gastrectomy
I am a lady of 63 years old. I had a total gastrectomy in July 2017 due to adenocarcinoma of stomach, diagnosed Stage 2B cancer due to pervasiveness in one of the 14 nodes removed.

Blood in mouth
Hi, hubby is 18 months post total gastrectomy and 12 months post ECX chemo after the operation. In the last few weeks/months he has ocassionally woken to find a small quantity of blood on his pillow or shirt if he has fallen asleep in the chair. Unfortunately I haven’t been there when this has happened

Newbie: Feeling a bit lost & adrift
Hi, After a couple of illnesses recently I had some blood tests that came back with 'strange results' my liver function was OK. My GP asked a blood specialist at the hospital for a second opinion that involved another blood test and an Ultra-sound. The upshot was, I was diagnosed with enlarged spleen
