MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

How long before you saw improvement from the LDN?

I currently take only the LDN and lomotil. Lomotil is the only thing I have found so far that will give me a little relief, but it is getting less and less effective and if I eat during the day, it has no effect at all.

By evening, I feel almost normal, and usually feel very good at bedtime. In the morn...

Thank you everyone for your responses. I do hope in the near future to do the Enterolab testing. Any recommendations on which test I should choose? Looks like the most expensive one is the way to go since it covers so many bases. Thanks again!!!

So glad I found this site, I truly believe with the right doctor and testing, I'd be diagnosed with microscopic colitis. I have been to 5 doctors in the last 3 years, had a colonoscopy that came back perfectly normal, have been diagnosed with IBS, and was finally able to find one doctor who prescrib...
