MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Well due to the fact i have had so many abdominal surgeries and each one took more work and took much longer than normal, they know I will be a mess inside if they cut me open. I dont blame them being hesitant, but to flat out deny me does suck. I had a cat scan today, with dye. Brain and full abdom...

Thanks Tex! I am really enjoying all this information. There is very little info out there online, you guys have it all and I am thankful I found you :) Also Good to know not to be discouraged if there is no change after a few days of being on the diet. And thank you for the abbreviation list, that ...

Awesome, I will def keep that in mind when buying anything!

Nice to meet you Jenny! After my endo became so bad, I did have a partial hysterectomy to help with the pain (removal of uterus only) Sadly, this didnt help much, but I do have to say not having a period anymore is awesome, I only get pain from ovulation and the endo thats abundant in my system. As ...

Oh I think I figured it out...Constipation and Diarrhea correct? As I continue reading, I do have another question. When you all speak of feeling great going gluten free, then something sneaking past you and becoming ill again, is this usually a stomach upset? I don't tend to have any upset stomach ...

*deep breath* Thanks Gabes. Ill just keep reminding my self there IS going to be a time where I feel better. To wake up in the morning pain free and symptom free would be so amazing. Ill make that my drive to have patience. I was wondering if you could help me out with some definitions. The ones I k...

HI Leah :) They just did the IgA in the last blood draw I had, I will know that answer soon I hope. Maybe what I will do is try to eat gluten free if only for a couple days this week to see if I feel different at all. Is that a good average of days to test it out, or does it take more to feel any ch...

Thank you for that link! Another thing pointing to celiac. I was taking the Vit D2 but honestly, i cant even take any vitamins right now. Even my daughters MVI kills me. It gets me to the point of being immobile the pain is so bad. Until I can figure out why, I really cant chance taking them. The co...

Nice to meet you (ps im a HUGE penguin fanatic, love your penguins!) Im not quite sure what they are looking for, at this point anything im assuming. *I have had an ANA done last year and this year, both came back negative. They originally thought it was Lupus with all my symptoms and blood in urine...

Thanks Deb :) I have been reading and reading and I am noticing how rare this is. This may be one of the reasons I just got diagnosed now even though my colonoscopy and biopsy were in February. All it took was for a new NP to review my chart and notice the results. I am in a lot of pain, but mostly ...

Oh and I also have sever endometreosis which makes the "tearing" so much more fun HA!

HI! My name is Hollie and I was recently diagnosed with collagenous colitis and also have a severe vitamin d deficiency (<3.7). Im 34yrs old. Now for about 2 years I have had symptoms all over the place. (Abd pain, fevers unexplained - its a constant 99-101, full body pain, rash on face plus many ma...
