MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Hi Belle, I do the same as Polly, dilute most juices with water. I can drink home brewed black coffee with no problem, so that is what I sip in the morning and then switch to ice water later in the day. I find lemon or lime juice is okay in very small 'squeezes' and orange juice , even straight, doe...

Hello all!

I also found the Earth Balance soy free today at my Tampa FL Publix.

Life is a taco…
Yes, that is apropos;
Our many flavors, all together,
Make life magnifico!

Yay, Mary Ann! I was skeptical about the diet, too. I finally figured, "Gee, how much worse could I feel if I just tried it?" Within a week, I felt soooooo much better. I am now a month into my new GF/DF life and I am not going back. I may try new veggies and spices, but no more gluten or ...

Welcome Crystal, I also had/have a lot of pain associated with the LC. The small of my back hurt like the dickens and I just couldn't/can't get comfortable. Hurts to sit; hurts to stand. Since I also have sciatica, on the days I was flaring (which was just about every day until quite recently) I was...

Morning!

Those are good suggestions, Zizzle. I may try some of those once I am feeling more secure. I have that big 'let's not rock the boat' feeling right now.

I also love, love, love the cupcake meatloaf idea.

Thanks for all the tips!

Thanks, Zizzle!

Mmmmm...sweet potato! I may try that next. I tried bananas but I think I'll wait for some more healing to take place before i try them again. Maybe if I really mushed them up...

I hear ya! Never a baker (Pie dough? No way. Can't do it!), but a pasta-holic, was I! Angel hair, penne and lasagna were my best friends. I spent hours happily brewing up the perfect sauces. Waaaahhh... :cry: My problem, like many here and I haven't been at this nearly as long as most of you, is tha...

Hello friends, Even though I had ‘cut back’ on bread products previously (I don’t even remember what a donut tastes like.), on October 29th of this year I began a serious GF/DF diet. I keep a food diary and log everything I eat each day. No cheating. (I have always suspected a dairy sensitivity. I h...

Dear Tex and Joe,

Yep, I got the ole 'Port 80' notice this morning when I tried to access the site and that is almost always a problem at server level. (or so my techie hubby tells me...) Good to have a geek around the house. :)

Hi Sheila, I tested negative for celiac, too, but I know from reading this forum that means very little. I tried the Pepto route but it made my tinnitus unbearable. Also tried Questran and I felt like I had glass all through my system. Strangely, my insurance company would not approve Asacol but did...

I am glad you found my tale of interest. I have read many of your stories over the past months and have found much encouragement within your words. I look forward to sharing and comparing with you in the times to come. Thank you all for your welcoming words. I feel like I know most of you already an...

Tex,

Thanks for the warm welcome!

Hello All! I thought I would just pop in and introduce myself. I have been a lurker here for about a year now and am so glad to have found this site. As you all know so very well, this ‘nuisance disease’ impacts our lives in many, sometimes quite serious, ways. How I got here: In November 2008, a ma...
