MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

It took 4 months for me this time, and Nowman is still hanging around. :) Don't give up!

Thanks Tex and Paula. My recovery was much quicker during the summer when my flare was much milder. I truly thought this one would take much longer. I'm still being careful not to add foods back too quickly and already know I need to watch fiber still. But it's coming. This site has been so benefici...

Congratulations Paula! I know how excited you are as I have experienced normal for two and a half weeks now. (I was afraid to post for fear it would come back!) I am so happy for you ... Wheeeeeee!

Also I think many people have an addiction to gluten. This is something I've been pondering as I know a lot of people with food and other additions. I think glutinous foods are addictive, like drugs, and people can't see life without them. They taste good, they smell good, the rush of carbs, the se...

Hi Jeff - welcome to the site. I'm somewhat of a newbie too. Have only been on here since early November. My latest flare started 3 months ago and while things are much better now in frequency, I am still seeing reactions when trying to introduce foods. I was basically on bananas, rice, broth, Chex ...

This is fantastic! I can't wait to see your posts and their articles. Am hoping you post links to the articles :)

I'm convinced that UC and Crohn's can be managed with diet and I'm researching it heavily right now.

Maryse - I'm very interested in the results of your research for a friend of mine. Would you mind emailing to me what you find? I would really appreciate it. Thanks!

Thanks, Hopeful. I do believe I'll try that next time. I appreciate the feedback!

Thanks Tex. I will keep that in mind. Although I don't usually have to stir during the cooking process for most dishes. But this one definitely had a much longer cooking time. In this recipe, the liquid was filled almost all the way to the top, so there wasn't much room for buildup to burn, and not ...

OK, Thanks Jean. I did decide to give it a shot and had it over my rice for lunch. While it was different, it wasn't bad tasting. I must say I liked the milder taste of the first batch, but if this one is more nutritious, I'll go with it.

Thanks again!

Poor thing! I've had accidents in public, but fortunately no one was in my immediate vicinity, or had a video camera on me (I don't think). But I can still remember how I felt while thinking someone had surely noticed!

Has anyone ever tried making chicken broth in a slow cooker (crock pot)? I found this recipe: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Chicken-Broth-in-a-Slow-Cooker/Detail.aspx?evt19=1&scale=10&ismetric=0 that only calls for chicken (or any meat), celery chunks, carrot chunks, onion, and basil. The fir...

That's right, Tex. I have not been taking Entecort. Haven't taken it since 2008.

Judy

Oh, wow, that's even better than I'd expected! Thanks, Tex!

I was surprised to see the email announcing the posting of my results (it's been only a week and 2 days since they received my specimen!), and I too am feeling very, VERY fortunate. Following are the results I received (feel free to utilize them as necessary, Tex): gluten = 15 casein = 5 egg = 4 soy...
