I have been back to the doctors today. It's definitely bleeding. If my appointment doesn't go well I'm going to be transferred to a different hospital which is great. I have stomach ulcer tablets to...
Hi thanks for your reply. The consultant is the specialist who sees you. It will be a gastroenterologist specialist which I'm guessing is a GI? but we don't call it that here. I have an appointment...
Hi, I posted a while ago about the troubles I was having getting to see my consultant. I am not officially diagnosed but my doctor is adamant I have IBD. My colonoscopy a few years ago was clear...
Hey everyone, I still haven't heard back from the hospital yet. I spoke to my doctor on the phone today and she pretty much said that the way I have been treated by the hospital is awful. She is...
Hi thanks for your reply. I haven't used any laxatives for a long time now except from the lactulose. What you have said makes alot of sense. Lactulose works by increasing water in the bowels to...
NiceCupOfTea yes in the past I have tried lots of different laxatives but for some reason I can't tolerate them. They give me extreme stomach pains and a few times they have made me vomit. I...

Yes I have been referred to see a gastro. Sorry I didn't explain my situation very well as I wanted to keep the post as short as possible. I have only had relief from my stomach problems twice in...
Hi, thanks for your reply. Yes I'm in Wales. That waiting time was with an urgent referral from my doctor. I really hope I don't have to wait that long this time. There is a few other hospitals...
Hello, Sorry if this post is long. I just feel so frustrated and let down at the moment and needed somewhere I can air it. I have struggled with stomach issues for 10+ years (I'm early 20's)....
I haven't noticed if I'm honest. Just eating and drinking in general just makes it worse. It also feels like food and drink gets stuck in my neck and chest when I swallow. Do you have the throat...
I haven't found anything that helps yet sorry. I'm quite new to all of this myself. If you find anything though, let me know as it's driving me nuts lol....
Crazy! I have the exact same symptoms as you but with acid reflux. I had an endoscopy on Monday and was also told I had a hernia, esophagitis and inflammation in my stomach and duodenum. Did you ever...

Thanks so much for the reply :) I have the endoscopy on Monday. Hopefully I can find out what's going on then! It is kind of like asthma just without a cough! Is heartburn and acid reflux the same...

Hi thanks for your replies! I guess I will have to just wait and see. My dad is in his 50's and he is currently waiting for his calprotectin test results to come back. He has had the same problems as...
Research raw organic apple cider vinegar. Take 1-2 teaspoons full before each meal and it helps regulate sugar levels. Its recommended to start with a small amount at first then build your self up to...
