Suggest Remedy For Peutz Jeghers Syndrome Causing Tiredness And Bloating

Hi, I have Peutz Jeghers Syndrome and don't feel too good at all. I seem to be more tired then usual, have a bloated abdomen when I am active, which will decrease once I rest. I feel sickish very often too, I am 48 years old, had several surgeries to take polyps away as well as enteroscopies, grastroscopies etc. However my last enteroscopy with surgery was 2 years ago. Two of my brothers and my fathers have passed away due to Peutz Jeghers. What should I do? Thanks

Hi thanks for asking question in HCM.
Let me know you the fact that you are suffering from autosomal dominent disease that is peutz jegher syndrome.
So prognosis not as good as normal healthy people.
Because of bleeding you might suffer from anemia, that is treated by taking iron rich food and iron tablets.
You are prone for certain cancer including colon cancer and also prone for intussuception like symptoms.So periodic follow up is necessary in your case to prevent mortality.For bloated abdomen x ray needed to rule out intusucception or intestinal obstruction.Consult surgeon for that.
So dont worry.just with periodic interval keep in touch with doctors.
I hope my suggestion will help you.
I find this answer helpful
