MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Its been a while since I posted anything, but I check in often to see how you all are doing. I have had LC for 9 years now and Thyroid disease for for about 14 years. I have now developed psoriasis on my hand, elbow, and knees. I am wanting to discuss starting Humaira with my family doctor. My derma...

Thanks Tex. I am worried because I am still light headed along with the nausea. I called my doctor. I have an appt next Tues. I am still having D so I shouldn't be completely blocked.

Hi everyone just and update. I have been gluten free for about 3 weeks now. I haven't noticed much difference in the number of bathroom trips, but the swelling in my stomach seems to be a little better. My doctor at Mayo found something called intussecption in my intestine last year. I am having pai...

I am starting my GF journey as well. I think I have tried every drug out there. This has to be connected to diet. You will find that everyone here has great advice and is very supportive. Best of luck with your diet. I just started my GF life this week!

Thanks! I started modifying my diet this week. I made taco soup that was gluten free! I can tell my gut doesn't swell if I stick to centain foods. Milk doesn't seem to be a problem, but I am going to by coconut milk to use for breakfast. My plan is to pick specific foods that I know are gluten free ...

Wow. Thanks for all the great feed back. I will start working on my diet. You all are always so helpful. I am not taking any of the new meds my doc prescribed. Although I was tempted this weekend. My family is not very supportive. I feel like I am in this by myself. Thanks again for your support and...

I saw my GI doctor yesterday because my family a I are traveling to London this summer. So I discussed with him the anxiety that is starting to be a big pro...

Hi Tex, I just noticed you are on Armour Thyroid for your thyroid problems. I took Armour thyroid for years. Then I moved to another city and my new doctor changed me to synthroid. I swear the D started them and with in 3 months and 15 lbs less I was diagnosed with LC. Do you think I should push to ...

Sounds like we all have had the same frustration at some point. I have had LC for 6 years and like you nothing has helped! It is difficult to find the good in most days.

I wouldn't describe what I feel as pain, but it is a constant discomfort. It drives me crazy. I would like to know if any of us has a day pass that we have a normal feeling stomach. ( What is normal? Its been so long I forgot what it might feel like).

Beni does the questran help slow down your stomach. I just started taking it and cant really tell any difference. I have LC and have tried every drug out there.
