MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Hi Tex and Zizzle, the blood I was talking about is black and sticky but it also can be a maroon color after I wipe with mucus. I stopped the eternal nutrition product and started eating regular food. I am still on Prednisone and tapering down to 20mg and some of my symptoms are back such as, rectal...

Thanks Pat

Hi Tex, you're a genius and appreciate all the information you have just given me. I went to the gym this morning to do some kickboxing to let some anger out toward my doctor, and it helped. I have a minor flare going on which is my own fault because I allowed myself to get stressed. My plan of acti...

Hi Pat, thank you for letting me know your experience with Sulfasalazine. Now, from what you said I am a bit leery taking the medication. I am learning so much here. Pat how are you taking care of yourself? I realize a diet is the main course for our IBD treatment no matter which one we have. :) So ...

Thank you Connie and Terri, @ Terri, I know what you mean but I really from the bottom of my heart appreciate the knowledge and wisdom that I've gotten here.

Hi Suzie, Some doctors love to scare people. They apparently somehow think that it wins them points, or prestige, or respect, or something, but I disagree. First the good news: I don't see any evidence of UC at all. The only markers that could possibly be associated with it are in the notes about t...

Tex, Wow, Wow, Wow.....Thank you so much for your clear explanation. The last thing I need right now is to be scared over nothing. I have a question... what do they mean by prominent fold? Also during the colonoscopy, Procedure findings: The patient had moderate/severe inflammation around the ileoce...

Hi Connie, thank you so much for your reply. Very interesting read and nice to know there may be a cure. I realize this is not going to kill me. I am scared any ways, just kind of silly like that.

Thank you all for the amazing welcome! I am so excited about the book on MC... I hope I can read it soon. At the moment I can't afford the book it is kinda sad. Thank you for all the information on Entocort. Its seems the Prednisone is working and I haven't had many side effects, only insomnia. So, ...

Hi I just got my colonoscopy report back can someone please help? I was diagnosed with Collagenous Colitis on Sept 18, then after I spoke to my doctor today he said I also have Crohn's and UC. I just need to understand what I have. :( Kind of scared right now! My colonoscopy report: A. Biopsy cecum ...

Welcome!! I'm a newbie as well as was diagnosed with Lymphocytic colitis in July. You will learn a lot from this forum. I'm currently doing the Pepto treatment which is working well for me. Others have done short term Prednisone, but most seem to be doing well on Entocort. It all has to do with the...

Hi, my name is Suzie, and I am diagnosed with Collagenous Colitis on September 18. I have so much to learn, and I am hoping for suggestions. Currently, I am on Prednisone... Then for maintenance Salaflazine. I also have a fissure, so I have been in pain, and I am taking Proctofoam HC for that.
