MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Hi everyone, I haven't posted in a while. I'm still feeling horrible. I've lost more weight and feel more weak than ever. I've drastically changed my diet and it's not helping. I have an appointment with a new doctor in August, but don't want to wait that long. I've found Entocort in India really ch...

I hope everyone is doing well. Wow, I think I made a mistake last night. I got a seedless watermelon from Wal-Mart because it looked so good and ate some last night, quite a bit. Today it is all coming out undigested! Horrible watery D, worse than usual. I'm already going to the bathroom 10 to 20 ti...

Hi Shehorah, Welcome to the community. This site has been so helpful for me. There are so many people with our condition that have a wonderful knowledge and understanding of just about every question you may have. I don't know anything about agave, but had a similar question with Stevia in the raw s...

Thank everyone for the info on the pickles. I'm so happy :) I love these things, and never realized it. I will be sure to get the fermented ones. Thanks again.

Thank you again. No, I don't react at all to peas, they just come out undigested, totally. I'm assuming they are like corn though.

Thank you so much Gabes :) I will try harder. I have another question. I'm just as full of them as I am........ Does anyone know if pussy gum sores are a symptom of malnutrician. I have a sore on my gum below my bottom teath. When I push on my gums, white puss comes out. It will hurt until I push al...

Thank you so much for the info Tex and Gabes. No, I haven't tried Imodium in a long time, but will. As far as trigger foods, there really seems to be none. Over the past 4 or 5 years I have tried just about everything. I have gone on very strict elimination diets for months and months at a time with...

Thanks Gabes. I read your response on my other post. This question is of my biggest concern though. I am so worried and overwhelmed by this. I actually had an interview yesterday and barely made it through without having to excuse myself and run to the bathroom. I could tell that they will not toler...

I have found a local Holistic Doctor and have been researching her website. Does anyone have experience with these kind of doctors? Her website says that she does food sensitivity tests. I know that many of you have had that done through Enterolab. Does anyone think it would be a good idea for me to...

That was a concern of mine as well. As I posted before, I have a hemmeroid that protrudes. Only it seems to do it when my belly is distended. When I lift, it actually seems to go away. I try not to strain too much. I'm desperately trying not to let this disease take everything away from me! It's alr...

I hope everyone is doing well today. I'm still having HUGE belly issues. I was wondering if exercising can make it bad? I exercise on an eliptical, I used to be an avid runner but had to give that up due to weakness. I don't think that it's the cardio though. I also lift weights. Can lifting weights...

Thank you so much Tex and Jean. I will follow your advice. I can't tell you how much this info is appreciated. This past week has been especially bad. I've cut my calories down to about 800 per day (not purposely, just scared to eat) and believe me, I'm feeling it. I'm so weak I can barely function....

Thanks Tex. I'm finding out what seems not to bother me. For breakfast I've been having a rice cake with peanut butter (all natural) and a banana. For lunch I've been having yogurt and canned peaches and pears, although I may stop eating yogurt. Sometimes it seems to bother me, other times not. For ...

I've noticed that I love kosher dill pickles and they don't seem to affect me. Does anyone know if they are good for digestion? Or at least not bad for lc. Also, I've read that Saurkrout is good. Any advice on that? My diet is getting so limited, anything that tastes good (pickles) is a super treat ...

Thank you for responding Jazi. I've been on a strict diet for a long time now. Pretty much all I eat is chicken and rice. That is the only thing I can handle after years of playing with my diet. Even when I fast I have symptoms. Sometimes I eat canned fruit and peanut butter. I'm now down to about 1...
