I am trying to source a western booster vaccination for my wife who is going in hospital for a month next week The doctor who is admitting her has said that there has been quite a lot of covid cases in this particular hospital. She could really do without being infected while being ill already. She has had two Chinese vaccines and one Moderna. I would like to give her a second booster before she goes in. I have tried Ram Bangkok Hospital , Rajevej and Lanna with no success. So has anyone any experience getting one elsewhere Many thanks

I am shocked to hear this news. Having been a member of this forum since 2004 I have had many interactions with Nancy down the years. A kind caring, considerate lady who gave a lot if herself to the foreigners living, or having problems living here. My condolences to her husband, the forum will never be the same again without her. RIP Nancy

Ron from The Chiang Mai Saloon is one old boy I can think of who died in this way RIP.

Good one at Ram, she is only there 5pm to 7pm on Mondays. Sorry but I can't recall her name but she was pretty switched on. She is the only one they have there so.... Good luck

Things are improving for me. No dioreah since Thursday and stools are thickening up nicely Stomach pain is mostly gone as well Halfway through taking the parasite meds from my Doctor, so perhaps that was the cause. I am seeing my hospital doctor on Friday for the biopsy results Thanks to everybody who has contributed to this thread It is very much appreciated to know you don't have to face everything alone. I would encourage Thai Visa members who may be reticent to post their health issues on here to do so, there is a wealth if experience to tap into here. Members don't always have the right answers but you can normally suss out the useful ones

Thanks. I am taking multi vitamins and electrolytes. I have previously been tested for Celiac disease and I am clear. Things seem to be calming down, I have just eaten Tuna fish for lunch and an hour later have had no stomach issues so far today. I obviously don't intend to stick to this diet for life, but until I have recovered I will carry on

This is a lot to take in I don't think hospitals up here look into these kind of things I have never heard of disposis!! Things have improved a bit since I started this thread. I have only been once since Wednesday night, and although the stool is not that firm, it is not dioreah. Similarly, I have not had stomach pains for the same length of time. Regarding you next post, I have not been eating any green vegetables My diet is white bread eggs potatoes tuna fish, chicken and I drink camomile tea. Thank you for putting so much into your reply, it is appreciated, even if it's a bit scary.

It was a Doc at Ram many years ago at least 10 Sheryl. I can't remember the name of the doctor now.

HI Sheryl She prescibed me Albemed/Allendale 200mg 2 tablets before bed Also Bioflor probiotic which she said is superior to what I normally use Combif AR As it goes of course, after starting this thread I have not been to the toilet today but have still had stomach pain so I took one Ultracet for it and it seemed to work. I have had worse days than today

This is the same doctor who performed my endoscopy Sheryl. I have an appointment next Friday to review it and get the results of the biopsy from him. I have just got back from my GP who said that I should resume taking Nexium a better pro biotic, and tablets for parasite control...it could be because of that but probably not but does no harm. The report said that I had a history of Ulcerative Colitis but you said that it would have shown up on the endoscopy report, which as you know it did not. So reducing my doseage back from 4 a day to 1 may be prudent? What do you think Sheryl?

The increased doseage hasn't really made any difference. I will discuss this first with my GP this afternoon. Thanks Sheryl

I clean my tank regularly but as I mentioned before we do have an Amway water filter, have had it 10 years or so and has never caused me the kind of problems I have now. However, to be sure I have switched to pre-bottled water as you never know?

My doctor reduced my dose of Glucophage from 1600 to 800 mgs a day. Really has not made any difference. That was about 10 days ago so cannot be sure it may not have registered in my gut yet.

Thank you Sheryl I was on 1700 mgs of Glucophage But the doctor has cut this dose in half. Salofalk, normally 1 x 500mg daily but now 4x 500mg. Then there is heart meds Like Avrostatin 2mg, Blopress 4mg Apolet blood thinner. It was tge specialist at Sriphat that carried out the endoscopy, they results show everything is normal, but he took a biopsy, and don't know why? I am seeing him for follow up in 10 days. I'm seeing my GP this afternoon to discuss further action including perhaps getting meds in case it could just be a parasite. I have had them before and the meds cured me. We will see where we go from here Thanks so much for your imput

I don't mind Brocolli and normally eat it several times a week

My doctor has them

Thanks, I contacted my local pharmacy and they do not have any Do you happen to know the name? I will try my doctor next

I try and eat 3 times daily, but small portions. I was on a keto diet with time restricted eating (18/6) 2 months before all this started. Don't know if that could have anything to do with it?

Yes a stool sample was the first thing they asked for but initially I went about the stomach pain and the stool analysis was OK then, but I have not given one since the dioreah commenced. Think I will have to have one in my next visit to the hospital.

I have had Ulcerative Colitis for ten years. I take Salafalk every day but have increased my dose ×4 My gastro doctor suggested this but it does not seem to have made any difference

It's what Google recommends I eat for my problem My diebetis is under control

None since I came down with this

Diet is eggs, white bread, mashed potato, bananas. My wife filters the water but I prefer to drink bottled water. Yes taking electrolyte once a day as I feel quite week, I can't even walk round my moo Baan right now before I got sick I could do it four times

I have had the runs for six weeks. Also have bad stomach ache frequently. Went to see the gastro doc at BK Hospital here in CM . Initially she put me on 2 lots of antibiotics for 3 weeks Cevit being the main one. The tablets did not cure the problem so she gave me a CT Scan and said the results were "unclear" and I needed a "special" endoscopy that was only available at Shriphat Hospital. This endoscope can apparently see what other endoscopy in CM cannot and costs 30k. So I had it done Monday, doc said in a very brief conversation that he could find nothing wrong, but had taken a biopsy just to check. But I still have acute dioreah and stomach pain. He said I did not need a colonoscopy as I only had one 20 months ago. So what now? I am pretty much housebound, I have to sit down to pee as I "go" when I pee. Anybody with similar experience or ideas of what to do next? I am due to see the doctor at Shriphat again Monday week but I can't wait that long and he is not my usual gastro doctor.

I had a friend who died at McKean Very peaceful end by all accounts.
