MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Thanks again!

Thank you so much for giving me hope and peace of mind. Of course, a lot will depend on how my body reacts to the lower dosage, but if all goes well, do you have a suggestion for how long I should stay on the 2 capsules before I drop to one? Thanks again!!

I have been on Budesonide for about 4 months. The past few months, I seem to bruise at the slightest bump - especially my arms. They look so terrible! I am 61 and do seem to have 'thin skin' but it is really much worse. Could it be a side effect? Starting today, I have decreased the capsules from 3 ...

Thanks that is good to know. The only other thing I can think of is dehydration. We have 90 degree temps and I played golf one day and then went to beach the next.. I was probably dehydrated and the alcohol made me more dehydrated. Thanks again!! P S. The nurse said I would see immediate results wit...

I just started Entocort (generic) 2 weeks ago. Does it interact with alcohol? I had a few cocktails yesterday evening and before I knew it, I was really past my limit. Any thoughts? Thanks.

I have finished the 8 weeks of pepto with no real improvement so I will be starting with generic Entorcort in the morning. Nurse says it will be effective immediately and I won't need pep to or Imodium. Is this true? I have a golf outing on Thurs and sure don't want any surprises on the course!

I have been doing the elimination diet for 1 month now. I just noticed the past few days that I have tons of energy! I didn't realize how lethargic I had become over the past year until I started feeling better and am also not quite in as bad as brain fog as usual. (my husband says he still thinks i...

Do you usually use fresh veggies like the celery and carrots and because they are then cooked, don't have any reaction?? That would be fantastic if so!

It's a dreary, chilly, rainy day here in Central Florida and I find myself craving soup. Was thinking of browning the turkey, adding it to some beef broth and maybe adding a can of peas or some other mushy veggie. But I had a reaction to some baked french fries I ate last nite for dinner around 2 am...

Thanks for the tips! Will def try them!

My dear husband has grilled us fresh lobster tails and a Rib eye tonite. Lord knows what that will bring later.....have mercy! He thinks he is pampering me. Let's hope!

Not too young too remember Twilight. Perry Mason, Red Skelton, Phil silvers. Yes I feel like I am in acreepy Stephen King novel.

I know! But I am so darn hungry all the time. I really watched it today and only had chex with almond milk and a little bit of banana. Then about hole Number 10 I could feel the pains coming back which stressed me to the max and put me into panic mode. Stopped playing, gulped 2 Imodium and just rode...

Colitis does not like Kentucky Fried Chicken (even the grilled kind) or even one tablespoon of Cole slaw or mashed taters and gravy. Get back on the wagon and away from junk foods! *sigh*

After naively thinking I had it figured out after just 2 short weeks, I had a flare this afternoon that said, hey you are just a baby in this journey...... crap. (Pun intended.) Sigh.
