MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Thanks, Tex. I've never heard of that but will sure check into it.

I have Mastocytic Enterocolitis (confirmed several years ago in colonoscopy via staining test). Despite strict diet and daily H1 and H2 blockers I still have massive D daily.

I've been gluten free and dairy free for several years now so I don't think that that is the problem. Are there any tests for food intolerances or that just a process of elimination game?

Ok, here's my story: I am 33 years old. For years I have had problems with severe, severe diarrhea. Had a colonoscopy about 5 years ago and GI doc said I was fine and put me on Welchol.
