MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Greetings, so it's been a long time. I've been living in this bubble of refusing to let my LC rule my life. I was going to show it who was boss! I just got so tired of lab results and Drs. I took a 6 mo. break. I even got my Real Estate License and started working~ Part of it was I was told to stop ...

Did you eat the peel? I can eat potato NO SKIN- the skin is like sending a WMD through the gut (weapon of mass destruction- just in case!) I can't find that Jamaican stuff! I bought a frozen yogurt blend with live cultures in it....dare I? So get this, this new doctor has actually called- granted I ...

Wow, I feel better. All of this helps me keep a running list of things to ask/discuss with the Dr. this week. Beth:I was told to stop entocort and asacol and start JUST the PB if that helps. FYI soy is a good in tiny quantities but I suggest doing some research in the negative effects of soy in wome...

Ok, here's the basics: Seated in a chair feet hip joint width apart (not flesh b/c we all think our hips are 10 ft wide!) draw in the belly button to spine- sit tall. Make sure all of your butt is on the seat, but do not allow your back to rest on the seat back, so you're scooted more forward than b...

As a personal trainer I can give you some great exercises to do in a chair if you'd like, but I'd like a little more details about your limitations and desires first.

Hello, AerobicsMomma here~ I wanted to say thanks for all the great topics to research on diet and food testing. I just relocated with AF to new area and get to start ALL over with new doctor- only I think this military doctor has a clue. I was armed with my printouts from here on what people have d...

I think I finally GET IT! I have jokingly said to my husband I feel like I'm sneezing from the wrong place. My gut is having a giant allergy attack- I just have to figure out the allergens! The Dr. in Vegas seemed to be so proud of himself for making the LC & CC DX that he failed to inform me of...

Hellooooo. My pain comes just about everytime I eat or drink a lot. The pain is under my belly button and it feels like I'm on fire. The pain seems to be radiating up towards my sternum these days, but I'm also in what I hope is the end of an episode. When I bloat I look like I'm gonna pop with 6 Or...

Hello, I've been here to visit a few times- I can't seem to get any real good advice from anywhere else. I recently moved, I'm a military wife, to San Antonio TX (anyone know a DR here?). I've got referrals in with the military medical clinics blahbah but am in the midst of one ugly episode- I've dr...

Ok, it's been a LONG time- I just got some of that wonder drug Entocort- makes me feel a little wacky, but "D" stopped. THEN the cycle kicked in after 15 days, "D" and cycle are a united front to reap havoc on my life. So I have opted to stop the Entocort until I get a hold of a ...

Wow, The Sandostatin was a "just in case" for the Carcinoid- but apparently is used frequently for chemo. patients who suffer w/ diarrhea problems. I was told by my very wonderful Hem.Onc that I may need to use it again if I go down as bad as I did. Hopefully it was a one time gig. I have ...

Hi, I'm new! I'm a 31 yearold mother of 3. After 18 mos of testing for a carcinoid tumor they finally said it's just MC- both types. Apparently my body was so off with the diarrhea (lost 20 lbs in 8 mos) that my 5HIAA was really high......Sandostatin although painful got the diarrhea under control. ...
