MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Informative article. It clarified some things I'd been wondering about.

Contratulations! (from a newbie) I googled "Microscopic Colitis and Pregnancy" and several related options came up! Since I don't know if you have sensitivities, and this may not be an option with MC, but it was recommended that I drink egg nog for more protein during pregnancy. I was not ...

Dee, My body falls apart after the crisis and most often there's been little or no regroup time in between. I'm trying to stay aware of this and not get so stressed over things I can't do anything about. Usually, I'm still picking up the pieces while other family members are shopping for their next ...

I'm a firm believer that trauma and stress are triggers!

For the number of people known to have food sensitivities, there's got to be just as many people who either do not know, do not disuss or just want to know what may be causing health issues. Celebreties are discussing such health issues. Elisabeth Hasslebeck on The View is celiac and has been promot...

Hello everyone, I've been off a few days for health related appointments, issues, etc. I agree with Polly regarding the term "gluten sensitivity" vs "gluten allergy." At what may have been my LAST visit with GI doc 3 months ago, I asked him about possible gluten intollerance. He ...

Hi Belle, I'm thinking of you; please hang in there and keep talking to folks on this board. Personally, my only pregnacy was not planned, it was a very difficult one at age 40, and there was little left of me to care for baby. If I had planned ahead, I would have gotten myself as healthy as possibl...

Hypothyroidism symptoms have been tricky. Mine is difficult to regulate and often requires labs every 30 to 90 days and med changes. I've done better on Armour, sometimes getting at compound pharmacy. Compound was more expensive and insurance would not cover. I have also purchased Armour from Canadi...

In the future and after more healing, I'll use this cracker to make fine cracker crumbs (with rolling pin) to coat baked chicken and for grandmother's meatloaf recipe. As for now, I feel these would be risky for my system. BTW, to roll out the cracker dough, I used a rolling pin that my Grandmother ...

The last couple of days have been difficult with more pain and fatigue. When working in the corporate world, I found cooking to be theraputic and stress relieving. Yesterday, I tried the recipe Tex posted for Water Biscuits aka Saltine-like Crackers (in which he noted was from Beth Hillson's newlett...

Since beginning Entocort, I have face waxed. Hoping that subsides.

Tex - thanks for the reasoning to my "gut" feeling on EB and Shingles.
