Hey, I've not been on for ages because I've trying to stop myself going crazy. I did as much as I could to stop thinking about being ill and just try to block it out. It meant staying away from anything that reminded me of the fact that I'm ill. It's only taken four months, but I saw the GI...

Hey, Looking for any advice. I started the creon about 4 weeks ago. The second morning of taking it, I emptied my entire intestines in about 3 seconds. Never seen so much in my life. All formed but loads of mucus. Then I've pretty much gone back to normal. It's not got a yellow tint anymore or...

Just had a very shocking experience. I went to see my GP. Told him about my reactions to multivitamins and how I can't function off them and he believed me. Told him about my periods and he said that's my nutrition problems. So he's recognizing I have nutrition problems. He was totally with...

Hi, I am going through similar and can relate to some of what you've posted. The floating, greasy stools sound like fat malabsorption which I appear to have. I don't have bleeding through, at least nothing obvious. I've had it since August 2009 and I've had a terrible time with doctors. It...

Cat-a-Tonic -- Thanks for your reply. I did read it when you posted it but I've been zoned out a bit and going through a few emotions. My weight has been lower than it is now. My BMI is 19 so still within the 'normal' range, (although I think the BMI 'normal' range is questionable). When I...

Happy new year, everyone. Got a great Christmas present; my periods stopped. Well almost except for a bit of spotting which I presume is from my contraception. Doctors can finally stop blaming my low iron on them. It will hopefully jolly them along a bit. They do tend to get quite excited...

We are cat ladies. We are legion. We are many. :smile: Just thought, I remember the GP briefly saying something about yellow, frothy stools with pancreatic insufficiency. Mine aren't frothy but they're yellowy. I can't get an appointment with my GP for another 3 weeks and I've got 8 weeks to...

I know I started a separate thread but I thought I'd continue here as it's more supportive around more people. Although I wish none of us were going through it at all. After the disastrous encounters with GPs, I eventually plucked up the courage to see another GP who I had to wait 2 1/2 weeks...

Thanks. This is actually a new hospital that I'm at and the last one does have a horrendous reputation. I think I might be in Ninja mode with doctors now. They ask a question and I automatically presume the worst and chop them down. Turns out it was a genuine question. He listened to my...

I've just thought. The lower pain that I'm experiencing now only started this year along with the severe nausea and episodes of being knocked out with flu-like symptoms. This was all before I came off the anti-depressants. I have to wait for the scope. Dear brain, calm the heck down!

Essieluv, thank you. Your message is really lovely. It's given me a little pick-up. Cat-A-Tonic, I was on Citalopram 20mg and it was for depression. Everything got on top of me. I honestly don't know if it helped because I was in massive denial about being ill. I think part of me still is...

I’ve just joined the forum and I’ve put my story here because I’m undiagnosed. I’ve been ill for over 4 years now. My story is epic so I’ll give the gist. I started with oily, loose stools up to 4 times a day. Ferritin at 20. Vitamin D at 19. Improved to 72 on calcichew. Couldn’t get ferritin...
