MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Paula, it's scary what we're eating without being aware that we're eating it. Our country is so far behind other countries in keeping our food supply safe. I hope you soon find an end to the flare. Take care!

Hi, Sonya. Glad that you're doing well! This forum is the best and I hope that it's a help to others as well. Have a great week!

Thanks, Jen & Tex! I am very grateful for being able to live an active life & I am so glad that I was able to encourage you, Jen.

Hello, friends! I haven't checked in for a while. Retirement life is busy! I recently had my 10 year LC anniversary. While it's not an anniversary that I really want to celebrate, I am doing incredibly well. I attribute my success to this group! I recently had annual bloodwork and other than my chol...

You're very welcome! Sorry for the late reply. Life has been crazy lately.

Hello. Soaking in Epsom salt always helps me.

Irma, If you go to your user control panel you'll be able to edit your signature line.

Hello! I haven't traveled overseas, but I have traveled across the country. I always carry Nick's turkey sticks for a quick source of protein. If you tolerate tuna in a pouch (without additives), Epic bison bars, packets of Justin's almond butter, Lundberg organic brown rice stackers, Lara bars (hig...

Hi, Elaine. If there are Target stores on your travels, they carry gf items. I purchased Applegate gf hot dogs while in CA & I was eating one in a piece of gf bread while in the back of an Uber! We have to do what we have to do. I always have Nick's turkeys sticks on hand (Vitacost online has th...

Hi, Granny. You might want to look at going dairy free as well. Many of us react to the casein in dairy products. The Enterolab testing should be helpful to you. I was glad that I did it.

Good morning, Audrey. I'm in remission for almost 10 years, but I still don't do well with grains. You might want to look at the grains you're consuming, even though they're gf. I recently tried organic, certified gf oatmeal and after eating too much of it my eyelid became inflamed & I had to ge...

My hair was falling out & became very brittle. After I began taking Vitamin D & magnesium glycinate it was restored to its healthy, wavy state. I believe that's because the vitamins & my diet helped to heal my gut and thus the hair issue was resolved.

This group is the best! I give them all of the credit for my being in remission for almost 10 years.

HI, Cynthia. A friend at work developed uveitis several years ago. She is under a lot of stress at both home & work & I'm sure that is the cause so it would definitely make sense that you have it when you are in a flare. I get pain in my right eye when I'm inflamed. It's all related when you...

Hello! I've been struggling with the decision to have a 10 year colonoscopy. I was diagnosed with LC 10 years ago at the time I had a colonoscopy scheduled due to my age. I had D for eight weeks prior to the colonoscopy and it was a Godsend that I was diagnosed so soon. I have been in remission for ...
