MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Wanted to bump edited post to top. Thanks for your wonderful support. At 46 I'm feeling like I've climbed over a fence to give in to taking pills. LOL!!! http://upload2.postimage.org/541447/_cid_DBF04008_644F_4AAA_9A43_B589ABAFA209_local.jpg This is my 7 year old daughter, Sarah, watching the 24th o...

Thanks for all the nice responses, Yes the GI tract as well as this whole Temple that houses my spirit is a wonderful thing. Tex, Mars, Mike, Joanna, Liz, thanks! I saw my gastroenterologist today and told him of all the autoimmune issues I've had since last seeing him and asked abt the possibility ...

Thanks Tex, Mars and Mike, What excellant answers!!! Tex, you are really up on things, thank you. I generally avoid dairy and gluten. They've never much appealed to me. They've made their way into my diet over the past ten years because they are a mainstay for my husband and his family. I did, howev...

Hi ya'all! O.k., I don't want to gross anyone out, so I'll start with an apology and a bit of a disclaimer. Sorry to have looked , and sorrier to dare talk about it, but aren't we all a bit curious? As a baby nurse one of my jobs was to collect and weigh every diaper charting amts of both urine and ...

This is a family that I love. MC may not be nice; but each of you are! I'd like to get into a discussion of how malabsorbtion might affect our stool. I will search for a previous thread or start a new one. I drank some milk this last week and am again finding many small white oval globules. It remin...

Hi Everyone! I'm back because I went off-diet a few years back and have since developed a number of autoimmune symptoms the latest of which is looking like an enteropathic ankylosing spondylarthropathy. I've got arthritis on X-ray in my sacroiliac joints and bilateral plantar fasciaitis with heel sp...

Ha ha ha! What's so funny? Two dozen potatoes cool overnight. I plan to peel their jackets to make a double batch of cheesey potatoes for tomarrow's funeral (an elderly neighbor). Both hubby and I are obligated at 10 am, noon, and 1 pm; have no idea what we'll do with the kids. Too much going on... ...

It has been simply gorgeous here in Utah. Perfect weather and temperatures with clear blue skies. Our silver maples are at their peak. My husband mowed, raked and swept Saturday. Our property looked pristine. But, by Monday, the leaves were falling like rain to the utter joy of our children. If only...

Thanks, Barbara For the warm welcome! :oops: I feel a little embarressed about my picture, so I appreciate the nice comments. The cold (or whatever it was) is nearly gone, now. Isn't it great that there are always things to learn? It keeps us humble. Thanks for being there; and thanks for being you....

Thanks for the warm welcome! Yep, it's me. I'm nursing a cold this morning and am finally on medication. No, not for the MC. But for a UTI and yeast (Cipro and Diflucan.) I turned to this site to see if those of us with MC might have a higher incidence of these other two (UTI and yeast infections.)...
