On behalf of a guest member:

I have very loose stools and at the moment have 3-4 movements per day with most of these following after I’ve eaten. Once I’ve been I don’t feel that my bowel is completely empty. I know this can’t be right so would it be IBS or something more serious? Thank you, Peter

On behalf of Ann: I’m 52 and have no signs that I am going through the menopause other than I think I have gum disease. I’ve done some research and found that decreased levels of oestrogen can cause gum disease in menopausal women. I’ve made an appointment to see my dentist next week but would be in...
