Sorry for your new obstacles. It does seem to make us feel guilty at times ranting, we don't have to look far to find someone who's doing better or worse than we are. But it sure does seem to help to...
Well, I had an EGD (upper scope test) yesturday. It's sort of unrelated to the liver enzymes and the borderline Hep B results I guess... (I'm still waiting to hear back on the blood work for that). I...
The only thing is that I started the Cholestyramine in June of last year and didnt began having the "gas" symptoms until Sept or Oct. Seems like if the Medicine was doing that to me then I'd have...
Hi. I've been just a little aggrivated lately. I had some blood work about a month ago that showed elevated liver enzymes and then tested as "Borderline Hep B". I'm currently having new blood work...
Hi. Just a little doctor update. I ended up making an appt with my main family physician. It was a seperate clinic that found the elevated liver enzymes and "Borderline Hep B result" so I went and...
I've actually been considering maybe having a colonoscopy, I'm fairly sure that my problems are post gallbladder related but I've been considering having one done just to rule out other possibilities...
You know whats weird though, I actually do try to stick to alot of bland foods. Especially through the work week. I do tend to stay away from veggies etc to further help control stomach issues. But a...
Hi again. I think I worked it all out. I called my insurance and confirmed that there were GI doctors closer to home and they were covered. I called the office from the "Big" hospital and canceled my...
These are my thoughts exactly "hep93". I've just gotten off the phone, talked to my insurance company to find out what GI doctors were covered. So, I know there are more local GI doctors that I can...
Well the results says "Hepatitis B Surface" under that it says Antigen confirmation. Then off o the side of "Hepatitis B Surface it says "Borderline" and below that it says, "Hepatitis B surface...
Hi. I'm sure I don't have the answer, as I'm sure you've tried EVERYTHING. But I do take the Cholestyramine. Mine comes in a can with a scoop. I usually take two scoops a day through the work week....
You mentioned the medicine factor, I actually think this has much if not everything to do with my results. I don't know how I would have gotten Hep B, if I do have it. But nobody seems to know why...
Well, I have a doctor I've been to several times over intestinal issues from my gall badder problems/surgery a year and a half ago. This last person, was actually a nurse practitioner. My "main"...
I'm aggrivated with the doctors.... Some of you may have read my previous post about my odd, "Borderline Hep B" results that the doctors don't even really understand. Thats been about a month ago and...
Do you have any other symptoms other than the D? They probably already have, but have the Dr/s checked your gall bladder and all that stuff? I know I had gall bladder surgery about a year and a half...
I have taken immodiums and pepto at times to help. I'm not doctor but I don't think I would take over the reccomended amount and do it daily. At the very least I think I would talk to the doctor...
I'm actually not "too" worried about it. It is really weird when it happens but I don't think it happens often enough to be too concerned. It was more frequent several months ago but as seemed to...
Again, I think I probably hurt myself more by going so long during the day without eating. It does seem like on the weekends I'm fairly normal, probably because I am eating more frequently. It's just...
Hi Marsky, To answer your question, yes, I don't eat because of work. It doesn't bother me too much because I'm sort of used to not eating at work long before I had my gall bladder removed. I'm just...
Hi. This is probably nothing serious but I was just curious as to what it might be and if anyone else has ever experienced something similar. I have this odd spinal pain that comes on suddenly every...
Hi. I had my gall bladder removed in Sept of 2006. I take the "Cholestyramine" powder which I believe is a generic for Questran. I actually don't eat throughout the day to try and avoid being sick...
Well, On the lab paper that the DR gave me to give to the gastroenterologist she's sending me to said "tested positive for the antigen" I think, but it also said "borderline" out to the side of it. I...
Hi. It's me again. To give some further information into my results I've posted another topic tittled " What do my results mean?" where I've listed the actual levels that showed up on my report. If...
Hi. I'm new here. I've posted another thread tittled. "Borderline Heb B results,What does this mean?" Since my doctor is referring me to a gastroenterologis (sp?) I have the paper work from my tests...
Hi. I've recently went to the Dr complaining about having a stomach virus off and on for about three weeks. I was pretty sure this was just a virus being that many of my family members were doing the...
