MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Also i forgot to mention that any test i took showed no reaction to casein. not with mrt or enterolab. i stayed off of all dairy for a few months and still no difference so now i added some permitted dairy on this diet

Thanks, the problem is on the mRt i tested highly reactive for turkey and coconut and avocado were high yellows so for now i've been trying to avoid them. I'd like to give the scd a chance. i did not feel better when i was off of it and eating just potatoes, sweet potatoes and veal so i am totally c...

I have tried beef and had the worst gas and bloating from it. I even tried the broth plain and same result. I am trying to stick with the scd for at least 3 months so i cannot have potato and when i tried rice i also got terrible pain. I just don't know what to do anymore. any other suggestions for ...

sue- when do you take the immodium? b4 meals? is it ok to take along with other meds. do you think i should take a anti-histamine. i am totally confused

thanks for your help. I am on prednisone now and was on entecort for about 3 -4 months b4 prednisone. i still had tons of pain on entecort and 3-4 bm a day. new dr. switched me to prednisone for short term and then will put me on entecort again. the prednisone helped in that i was finally going only...

thanks for your reply. i only put salt and thats it. everything just seems to hurt no matter what

I still don't understand. putting pregnancy aside are the birth control pills themselves bad for you and can they be making things worse?

I'm realizing that the excruciating pain i am having seems to be from gas. before i had this disease i used to get gas sometimes and it did not bother me too much. Now the gas causes excruciating pain. last night all i had for dinner was well cooked chicken and carrots blended together like baby foo...

tex, are you saying that birth control pills might prevent someone from going in to remission? what if you have no choice but to be on them since i can't get pregnant while in this flair. it would be pretty unsafe and would not help me get better. unless by some luck the pregnancy can put me in to s...

thank you denise. the only thing the meds helped with was to reduce the bowel movements but it is the pain that is really unbearable. i have tried so hard with diet and i just can't figure it out.

now they are sending me for a contrast Cat scan to see if it is endomitriosis or still chron's even though i did this test once but it was over a year ago and then they did not find anything

i wish i could eat those foods tex. i would love to be able to eat fresh fruits and veggies. Did you get back to that once you acheived remission?

Thanks, the only problem is on the MRT test I was yellow reactive for acemetophin. Would you still recomend taking it before meals? how long was it till your intestines calmed down and the pain lessened while you cut out your intolerant foods? I have been trying with diet for 5 months now and have n...

Tex, you once mentioned taking painkillers b4 eating when you were in a flare. what did you take and did it help? do these things usually cause more damage to the gut in the long run? someone else mentioned a low inflamottory diet while healing. what does that mean? does that mean following Mrt and ...

thanks for your kind words. Joe, I did have all those tests done and they did not find anything more. My last colonscopy even showed no more inflamation on the biopsies so i don't know why i am having so much pain. the dr. says the intestines are sensitive and that just takes time to heal. I hope he...
