Stomach aches all day
I have never posted on one of these sites before but feel I really need some help. I've had ibs-d since I was 14 (I'm now 21) but in the last three months have been experiencing loss of appetite and awful upper stomach aches, they aren't painful but just sicky and full which is horrible. My IBS has

Erosive gastritis and PA. Please advise re diet and medication!
Hi All, I have had PA for about 6 years and had a gastroscopy when first diagnosed. Recent barium swallow showed moderate gastric reflux and recent gastroscopy showed mild erosive gastritis. My GP prescribed Omeprazole which I have started very reluctantly ( side effects look worrying) but it's necessary

IBS Linked With Anxiety?
Hi All Completely new to this forum thing, but here it goes. I'll try and keep it brief. Please take time to read my story, I'm sure there are a lot of people who can relate to me and stop me feeling so alone or that I can help in turn. I've been suffering with IBS type symptoms for 6 months now.

Any other anti coagulant?
In May this year I was advised to take an anti coagulant because of paroxysmal atrial flutter and SVTs. The A flutter has settled well with medication but anti coagulants are proving more difficult. I also have vasculitis. I was first prescribed Apixaban and started taking it in August. This caused

Pains after gastroscopy with Bravo
Hi, I had a gastroscopy with Bravo capsule 2 weeks ago under sedation , they also took some biopsies, I've still got pains in my oesophagus - mainly when I swallow and drink hot drinks. Have just seen a consultant who did it - he suggested to wait another 2 weeks and then have an x-ray. He thinks that

Sedation for gastroscopy
I have Barretts and had 3 gastroscopies in the past- the first was fine as the sedation knocked me out. The second was unpleasant and I noted that I had 5g of midazolam. For the last one I received 2.5g and I thought I was fighting for my life - choking, retching, panicking. Now it's time for my next

Gastroscopy and Colonoscopy
Hi, has anyone had a Gastroscopy and Colonoscopy procedure? My appointment is on Thursday and the information they sent gives me a choice of SEDATION so I am asleep for both procedures or have a throat spray for the gastroscopy and GAS and AIR for the colonoscopy. If I opt for the sedation, I have

Five years post T/G
It''s a little past five years since I've had a total Gastrectomy and at times I still suffer with dumping syndrome and reflux. Before the operation I was a healthy 140lbs weight, now I'm less than 126lbs. I've always lived a fit lifestyle and am presently running half an hour early each morning. I'll

Countdown nearly over....
On 1st June went into hospital for a gallbladder operation. The Op was abandoned and the surgeon told me I had cirrhosis. Gallbladder stayed in but my symptoms suddenly went into overdrive!! Since then I've had blood tests galore, gastroscopy, MRI. I'm type 2 diabetic so have been referred to a specialist

Stomach problem causing havoc

Stopped quivering
Well. Been and had my Gastroscopy. Went with a fairly open mind. Was given sedation and to be honest I remember him saying meds going in - then - that's the tube coming out now! The staff were very supportive. Seems my 'bits' are in tact! Conclusion was spine encroaching on Osophacus due to Osteoporosis

Hello, I had a gastroscopy on the 27th June, they said my duodenum looked atrophied, and took biopsies. Does anyone know how long is usual to wait for results? I'm thinking on phoning the gastroenterologist, but don't want to be too impatient!! I am in Kent. Thanks for your help x
