Hi Marliss,
I live in Chattanooga, Tn. If you are close, is there anything I can do for you? I went through all that you are going through last year, and I know how difficult it is. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Hi Leah, I am so jealous. Both of your wonderful trip to northern Ca.and not having any difficulties. So very happy for you. Maybe one day we will all be able to have the success that you have had. Next year my husband and I are going on a two week cruise from Spain to Italy and I want to be able to...

I do agree that everyone handles this dreaded disease in their own way. My brother who had a disease called PXE which took his eye sight, then shortly after that was diagnosed with diabetes, then very soon after that was diagnosed with esophageal cancer said before he died - it is what it is- then h...

Gabes,
Give your mum a big kiss and I hope everything goes great as you begin your new adventure.

Thanks Tex, Guess there is so much detective work involved. I will heed your advice and stop all 1+ foods for a week and check make up and supplements. This sure is frustrating!. I do so appreciate all of your advice. (Gabes, Leah And Tex). Honestly, I don't know what I would do without you all. Gue...

Thanks Leah, In August I did have the EnteroLab test done. I had no reaction to potatoes. In 1+, I reacted to oats, corn, rice, beef, tuna, chicken, pork and cashews. Nothing in 2+ and walnut and almonds in 3+. Gluten 51 units, casein 41 units, egg 21 units and soy 23 units. Do you think I would ben...

I have been keeping up with you and hope your move goes smoothly. Being close to family is so special. After living in Nashville, Tennessee for 26 years, we moved to a very small town to be close to our daughter and grandchildren. The best thing we have ever done. Thanks for your advice on makeup an...

Thanks Gabes, I have not tried antihistamines but will certainly try it. Since you mentioned meds, I checked my meds and found my coq10 and vit. D-3 both contain soy. What a stinky thing for drug makers to add! Could that be the only problem or should I completely start over with my diet? You know, ...

Hi All, Will I ever get a handle on MC? I was on Budesonide for 6 months and got off of it in December of this year. I have been having very thin bowel movements and even ghost poopies for a very long time, no Normans in sight. And I am still going up to 10-15 times a day. My husband thinks I should...

Thank you all for the good news that salads will be in my future. This forum means so much to me. It is nice to know (unfortunately) that others know just what you are going through and can help you through a difficult situation.

Hope everyone has a great day.
Jane

Hi, I am so glad for that heated toilet seat because I tried to eat a salad yesterday and had several trips to the bathroom- 11 actually. It was not D just small thin things and bloating and gas. I was diagnosed in May last year. I so want to eat salads and fruits, but now I am afraid to try again. ...

Good morning everyone. Hope you are staying warm in this cold weather. Which leads me to the very best Christmas present someone with MC could ever receive. I had this large box from my husband and could not figure out what it could be. When the big day came, I opened, are you ready for it. A heated...

Thank you Gloria and Tex. We are at the hospital. Surgery at 8:00 am. He thinks he will be okay by tonight so he can watch the Ky. Basketball game. Go figure! Thank you for all of your help. Things seem somewhat better this morning. Just can't eat and I am a little dehydrated. Just have to be better...

Good afternoon. Tex you were right. It seemed to be a virus, but then.....it went into a flare up. This is my first flare up after being dx'd with cc in May. I have upped my Budesonide back to 9 mg's and am taking Imodium like candy. My husband is having surgery tomorrow morning and I want to be wel...
