I've suffered on and off with tachycatdia. They doctors have noticed this when I've had surgery or a procedure that requires sedation. It doesn't always present on an ecg but has done on occasions. They did tell me which one it was but brain fog means I can't remember what they said. I get it quite a lot when I experience a pain or if my body is out of sync in some way. I also get pins and needles in my hands. My hips hurt as do my wrists and shoulders. I feel like I'm coming down with flu but… read more

I was told by a GI specialist that immodoim and Pepto can actually paralyze your gut if you take too much so I was told to not take that stuff anymore.
Thank you!
Hi, I am new here. I have had what I believe is IBS-D for many years. About 15 years ago I saw a GI doc, had a colonscopy, and was told to just take a fiber supplement. The fiber supplement made me much worse. Last year I was tested for Celiac and the test was negative. I have also tried a gluten free diet without success. Also had a test for my pancreas and that is normal as well
I am seeing a different GI doctor now and am scheduled for Colonscopy soon. He thinks my issue is likely IBS… read more
