MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Hi Lucy, My Dr. to wants me to go on some meds for osteoporosis but from what I hear and read about those meds right now I'm refusing to take them. I came across this site about Serotonin In The Gut May Hold The Key For Osteoporosis Treatment. Here's the link: http://www.emaxhealth.com/1020/39/27022...

My husband had Mantel Cell Lymphoma (Non-Hodgkins). He went threw cymo therapy and then they took his stem cells cleaned them and gave them back to him. So far he is cancer free!! This was all done threw the University of KY. The first Dr. we went to recommended he go to a University because he coul...

I just came across this site: http://www.food4celiacs.com/
It says it is packed with the best gluten-free groceries from around the world and you can order it on line. But if you live near Milwaukee, WI you can go there.

Hi Katy, You know I had completely forgotten that I had took Ibuprofen for about awhile. I had bursitis in my shoulder. I was taking a prescription strength for awhile then took ibuprofen over the counter. I haven't taken that since the late 1980's. My problems with "D" started around 1992...

I wonder if it was Westborne Market that you went to. I used to love to go there when I got the chance. I really miss all the fresh fruits & veggies I used to get there. But then, I really miss Michigan.
Hope you had fun camping.

Hi Mars, Here's something I found on the internet about dogs and constipation. We usually only give our dog dry food but when I see he's having to strain then I give him some canned food. But I hope this helps your dog. But this is what I found on the internet: Lack of exercise and proper diet can l...

Did you watch the program that was on just this last week where a guy had a cabin in a remote part of Alaska and he would feed the bear out of his hands. Also, would lay down and sleep with them. He said his wife and daughter wouldn't visit him to often because of all the bears. (Which I wouldn't bl...

Thanks for all of your encouragement. As I'm sure many of you felt I just want to cry... What is bad is that most people I talk to about this just doesn't understand what I'm going threw. Then when I tell them this Dr. didn't find anything wrong with me they look at me like "Well maybe she is j...

Tex,
Thanks for your input. I think I'll try the Bentyl. If that doesn't work I think I'll just try the GF diet and try to get this under control myself. That's probably the best way anyway since I'm not big on taking any drugs.
I'll let you know how this works for me.

Hi Tex, Yes, I still have my gallbladder. Well, I just don't know now what to think. Do you think it's worth trying Bentyl? Do you think I'm wasting my time with this Doc? I'm almost sorry now that I didn't just go to the University of KY and had it looked at there. (At least I'm hoping they would h...

Thanks for your responses. I was first diagnosed 7-29-98 The only thing I have is a Operative Report. It says: Preoperative Diagnosis: Rule out inflammatory bowel disease. Postoperative Diagnosis: Microscopic colitis, redundant colon. Procedure/Operation: Colonoscopy. Then under procedure: The scope...

Well, I went today to get my test results after having blood work, fecal tests and a colonostopy done. Also, had received a letter in the meantime saying they found something abnormal. Well, today the Dr. says he didn't find anything wrong with me. Not even the microscopic colitis. Now, I'm thinking...

Hi Jodi, Good Luck with your garage sale. I grew up in the thumb and later moved north. I know the economy is terrible there now. I'm just glad my son's still have there jobs yet. But it's tough. I guess we were lucky when we moved that we were able to sell our home when we did. With all of the home...

Hi Jodi, I noticed in one of your posts that you had just come from Saginaw. I used to live in norther lower MI and I'm heading that way in a couple of weeks. Did you by chance notice what the gas prices were like around Saginaw? I can't wait to go home to see my son's and grandkids but I sure dread...

Hello, Yes, I will keep you informed. My next appointment is the 10th. It will be interesting to find out the the test results are. Thanks for your support here. After going to the first Dr. he had me try the pepto bismal 8 pills a day for two weeks. Well that didn't work. But it did seem to slow it...
