    Anyone have experience of large colon polyps? Hello again too.

    Hello again to those that remember me, and hello to those who don't. I wondered if anyone had experience, especially anyone undiagnosed , of large colon polyps? I had a colonoscopy a couple of days ago to try and shed light on my current pain and symptoms and they removed a bloody looking polyp...

    Have we met before?!

    Hello again all, long time no speak! Thought I would update you all as to my current state of affairs. Still feeling much better than before my exploratory surgery but by no means 'right' or 'normal'. Still having a host of issues and have passed mucus and blood on two occasions in the last...

    Diagnosis - stoned appendix!

    Well I had my exploratory laparascopy on Tuesday, the surgeon agreed with me that it would be wise to remove the appendix whilst they were in there to rule it out of any potential future problems. In my drug induced state I remember the surgeon saying "I think we may have found the cause of...

    Unable to relax stomach.

    Hello all, I haven't posted for a while but I have been reading and keeping an eye on everyone's recent issues, 'tis sad that so many of us are still battling this definitive diagnosis drama but at least we're not alone in all this! I was wondering if anybody experiences the same problem I've...

    Advice please, not had this before?!

    I'll be as brief as possible. Anybody who has seen my pill cam post knows that I've now been asked to do a retest due to the unclear images on the first. I've been asked to fast all day today (test tomorrow) and to do a full prep instead of half. Unlike last week I threw up after the first two...

    Pill cam done, or is it....?!

    Well I had myself the pill cam procedure yesterday, dropped the recording box off this morning after another night of multiple toilet trips, watery stool and loud rumbly guts! The procedure itself was fine except that my small intestine rejected the capsule after two hours of virtually no...

    Pill cam sooner than expected.

    So I received a call from the hospital a couple of days ago and they have a cancellation for next week for me which is really good news. It means an early morning trip to Kettering but I'd crawl to Scotland if I thought it would get some answers! After events today I'm hoping more than ever...

    Second breath test negative.

    So I had my second breath test last week after my initial test was off the scale, which I've found out may have been as a result of the fact I was sick on the morning of the test! I spent the latter half of the week trying to speed up my case which involved numerous phone calls and waiting...

    Feeling a bit lost.....again!

    Hello people, I'll apologise for the spelling mistakes or bluntness now as I haven't slept and don't have the energy to go bavk and correct them! I haven't been on here for a few weeks, not been in a good place but received a diagnosis of GERD via SBFT a few weeks ago. My consultant seems...

    1st GI follow up

    Hey all, Thought I'd put a quick update on after my first follow up today. The consultant I saw, although he was surgical did at least try to answer my questions, not too happy with a couple of things he said but on thw whole am feeling better about my situation. He's ruled out UC after my...

    Undigested food in stool

    Hi all, Hope you're all having the best weekend you can be? I just wondered what people's experiences are with undigested food in the stool?! It's been a symptom of mine for a little while now and is particularly bad with lettuce, salad etc, although I'm not sure if it's just because salad...

    Feeling a bit lost, until now....!

    Hi all, my name's Craig and I'm from the UK. Firstly, I'll apologise for the possible length of this, I do tend to talk, A LOT! I've only recently found this community and this is my first post, but I've been reading other's stories for the last week. I have already found it a great help so...
