I had a very detailed discussion with Professor Layer about my irritated bowel issue. I had seen so many doctors before, but none of them had been so thorough about my symptoms, and so comprehensive in explaining how to manage them. He really is a GREAT doctor! I think his advice is working. I am feeling much better. I am happy to have found a solution at last.

Non-specific ulcerative colitis

Blood in the stool can indicate various intestinal conditions, including erosions, tumors, polyps and so on. But in combination with diarrhoea and cramping pains they are more often a sign of non-specific ulcerative colitis. The exact cause of the disease is not known, as well as there is no single method of treatment. Therefore, it is recommended to take into account the opinions of several doctors when undergoing an examination and choosing treatment.

Constant bowel movement problems in the form of diarrhea can indicate Crohn's disease. Inflammation may occur in any part of the digestive system, from the mouth to the rectum. The disease is chronic and requires regular drug treatment and a diet.

The gallbladder stores bile produced by the liver. Our body needs this fluid to break down fats obtained from food. The fats are then broken down and absorbed in the duodenum, where the bile gets through the bile duct.
