MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Hi Tex,

Sheila is right on - I always learn something new from you! THANK YOU!!! GF is the way to go and I hope it will help with my knee/ankle
issues.

Has anyone been told there is an arthritis - CC connection? Back story - my right ankle is always swollen from a previous ligament surgery 5 years ago. Went to an orthopedic doctor and after x-rays he said my right ankle looks "angry" and he put me in a cast to immobilize it. Then my left ...

Jane, Thank you for your words of encouragement! I so agree with you and Tex's argument about why would we want to keep eating food that is toxic and hurts us? I thought going through thyroid cancer was tough. Changing my way of eating/thinking about food has been much tougher. Like you said it's a ...

Leah - LOL! They are sooo good! And Tex, I can't thank you enough!

Three months have gone by already since I was diagnosed with MC. The Entocort made me feel like I could eat anything again! I made a few changes - cut out dairy - toyed with some GF foods while on the Entocort. I ordered Tex's book and read it cover to cover. (Thank you, TEX!) I read posts and searc...

Entocort Update: My blood pressure had dropped quite a bit lately since I've lost weight, so I had stopped taking my blood pressure medicine. I had that funny feeling you get when your blood pressure is high so I had it checked and it was high. I took one of my blood pressure med.s and the next day ...

Thank you, Tex! My ankle surgery was 4 years ago. I've been in and out of physical therapy and nothing has really taken away the swelling. I just noticed quite an increase since I started taking Entocort. Thank you so very much for you reply and I'll call my doctor.

I've been on Entocort for about 3 weeks and the D has completely stopped, but I'm concerned about side effects. I used to run and after the last half-marathon in hilly Austin, TX, I hurt my ankle - I had stretched out a tendon. I had to have surgery to fix it and it has bascially ended my running da...

Thank you for the replies! I've only been on Entocort a week - it is helping with the big D (and of course, I don't mean Dallas!) :lol: My stomach is still rolling around quite a bit. I'm sure it will take time. I know I can't take Entocort forever and I'm worried once I'm off of it I'll go back to ...

Cathy, I probably shouldn't have let it go on for so long. I was just so sick and tired of going to doctors and I thought I could just live with it and handle it myself. I was wrong! I'm on entocort too. My digestive disease doc said I have to have another colonoscopy in 3 months. Read somewhere you...

Hello! I'm a newbie and it's so nice to find all of you! Was recently diagnosed with CC after 2 years of wondering what was wrong with me?! After several months of D I decided I needed to do something about all the numerous trips to the bathroom, the stomach cramps, malabsorption and weight loss. My...
