MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Since I can ask literally anything on this wonderful site, because you all have had or have the same situation, I need to ask if anyone can help me with my gas issue. No matter what I eat or when I eat, I have gas and bloating. I am totally GF, DF, SF, no raw veges or fruit. I still get gas. I haven...

Hi Tex, I didn't realize the problems with tomatoes, I will definitely add them as non allowed food. I am already avoiding fresh vegetables and fruits. I just wonder if I am getting enough nutrition with all of these choices I am having to make. I will continue to use the Loperamide (Imodium) while ...

After giving Entocort a trial for a little more than three weeks, had to withdraw from taking it any longer. Not only did I have all day daily headaches, I was getting severe muscle cramping in the calves of my legs. The good news is, I don't know if it is because of the short dose of Entocort or th...

Started taking only 2 Entocort tabs on Tuesday, feel miserable! Yuck, what is up with the GI doc, it is obviously going to take more than 1 week of 3tabs daily to get any sort of effect. I'm really down, no glutens, dairy, or nuts for better than 2 weeks and still not much relief in symptoms, especi...

Thank's Tex for the tip about Magnesium, now it makes sense about the leg/feet cramping. I was on a Mag supplement forever; the GI told me to quit taking it as it may be a source of the "D". Well of course, we all know the source of the "D" is from my CC! So, no mag and then I ha...

Hi Everyone, Today is day six of my taking Entocort. I am not having such terrible headaches any longer, just mild headache and I still feel like my head feels strange. I no longer have the "D", but still having daily bloating and gas. I am totally dairy and gluten free. A few days ago I s...

I have been dairy free for two months, started gluten free and got onto Entocort three days ago. Oh my gosh, can't believe the difference in my body. No more grumbling coming from my stomach, no diarrhea, and no pain. Now, I just need to figure out what I can attribute all this change to. It is so h...

Christine, I knew about restriciting dairy, gluten and soy from my diet, but, did not know that eggs were also a possible problem. I only eat maybe 1 or 2 eggs a week, will quit them altogether and see what happens. What about Egg Beaters, does anyone else have any issues with Egg Beaters? I've been...

After being diagnosed over 5 years with cc, my gastro doc finally got me started on Entocort. Starting dose is three tabs first week, 2 tabs second week, then one tab third week. I am suppose to call their office during the third week and let them know how I am doing. In reading other posts, this do...

I am new to this site and have a few questions about my diet. After being diagnosed with this disease several years ago and being told to go home, there is nothing that can be done, I just two months ago had a bell click in my head and wondered about food intolerance. It has definitely made a differ...

Being new to this site, I have so many questions that I don't even know where to begin. I was diagnosed with collagenous colitis almost 5 years ago! At the time of my diagnosis, I was told by my Gastroenterologist that my disease is rare, there are no known cures, go home and live with it. I have be...

I have to say, never thought I could laugh about this horrible disease, but, all of these posts had me laughing! I can honestly say, I have probably been there, done that, on each and everyone of your posts. I thought I was the only person in this whole world who had a problem like you all have. You...
