MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Does anyone have this? Or other HLAB27 associated disorders?

Just a few thoughts... ESR (sed rate) test is an extremely nonspecific test and many doctors skip it now entirely and order the CRP instead. That being said.... I also have Ankylosing spondylitis but my CRP is still usually normal or just on the low side of elevated. HLA B27 is an antigen test that ...

I was dx with LC about 18 months ago. I was also in pain management for several years of chronic back pain of unknown origin and a new MD there found my ANA was very high at 1:640. I also discussed this with with my Derm who I was seeing for rashes on my hands and feet that I have also had for years...

Kinda... I think. I have been gluten free on 9mg Entocort for about a month now and have settled into a pretty much one a day routine of not Norman... but not really D either. Certainly managable. BUT... Of course i slipped some over the past few days- Not like huge amounts of things I shouldn't hav...

Hmm..... I noticed blood one other time and today it's back. Not a lot... just blood tinged mucous. There is always a lot of mucous. Normal for LC??? I did an occult blood (stool test) just to be sure-Positive.

Thanks guys... I'm def going to look into that shake idea for work! Just frustrating... I certainly made it 24+ hours gluten free..... and ended up in a Hardee's bathroom at 6:30 in the morning sicker than I've been in a month :(. I don't know what set me off!! I ended up walking out of a meeting 3 ...

I finally figured out the double edge sword to this....The fact I don't cook, never have cooked and don't enjoy cooking.... The thought of going GF has been overwhelming to me! But I think the biggest obstacle has been the fatigue. I don't have the energy (or time) to get up early to shop or cook. W...

Soo.... If I started the Entocort last week and this week start with the GF/kinda bland diet for a while... If my tummy calms down.... How do I know if its the Entocort or the diet? Can the med mask some of the milder reactions? Or will I just not really know for sure until I wean off the med in a f...

Thanks for all your great advice!! I think for the next few weeks I'm going to stick with bland... Chicken and rice, eggs, cooked veggies and a few canned fruits. And gluten free pretzels :) What about regular soda? Regular Coke and peanut butter crackers have always been my comfort food. (sigh). Th...

So I believe it now I should try the GF diet. I will do anything at this point to get my energy levels up... I'm exhausted!! But I'm overwhelmed with just the GF diet.... Do I exclude milk and soy and eggs and nuts and all this other stuff all at once too? Or do I just start with the GF diet? AmyNicki

Wow. Since I'm still obviously in denial, I ate Ramen noodles (I can see yall shaking your head!) last night. Was up sick at 3am for ALL morning. Ok. I get it. Gotta go grocery shopping!! Question... sometimes the D is just normal D with cramping, stomach rolling etc... I call that "the anger&q...

Hi all..... I'm a 38 y/o mom of two recently diagnosed with LC. I always assumed I had IBS just because I had a sensitive stomach and a good meal would send me straight to the bathroom. It was actually a joke in the family- After a dinner out somewhere there would be no stopping at Target afterwards...
