MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Tex, I am sorry for the diagnosis. I find it very difficult eat away from home and be sure that all is well. Several times I have eaten what is supposed to be GF and had a reaction shortly after.

I have had three rounds of prednisone and one of entocort and continually take apriso every day, and colestyramine powder. I just had my gallbladder removed, and strange as it seems, that seems to...
