MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Vanessa, Good luck at the U of I. Yes, we need to keep our stress level down. I have been having some up and down days, but keep trying to stay positive. It will take a while for our guts to heal and just need to be patient (which is very hard for me to do). Thanks for the advice on SCD. Toni

Vanessa, I am from Cedar Rapids, Iowa. I went to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, too- for a second opinion. My first GI here in C.R. who was HORRIBLE, MEAN, and pretty much fired me for not taking his advice, said I had Crohn's Colitis. When I went to the Mayo, I took my book on the SCD by Elaine Gott...

Tex,
Thank you.

Jessica,
I live in Iowa. I was sitting out at about 4:00ish and the sun was strong on my arm (which is also vampire white). LOL! Once I am out in it more, will I be able to tolerate the sun/heat better?

Hi all! Thanks so much for all your kind replies. I really appreciate it. I have been working hard on tweaking my diet. I have been following SCD for seven months but something isn't working. I am in a flare and back taking Pepto-Bismol. In the last two days have taken out the yogurt & cheese, I...

Hi. I have been having a flare and I am scared. I have been diagnosed with lymphocytic colitis this past summer. Long story short, my first GI who was horribly mean, said I had Crohn's. My new GI, says I have lymphocytic colitis. I don't want to take meds if I don't have to. I have been following th...
