MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

It's been awhile since I've posted. Probably because I've been feeling so great which allows me to get out and enjoy life again. Since getting my test results back in March, I've eliminated soy and gluten. Soy being extremely difficult, but worth it. It took me a week or two to start feeling like my...

It's def not my gallbladder, I had that taken out years ago with it only working at 13%. But the pain is in the exact same place as when I was having problems with my gallbladder. I'll look into the things that you guys mentioned. I'm extremely frustrated because I know this isn't a flair. I just wi...

So last night I was so sick I almost had my daughter take me up to the ER. I've experienced this pain before. It happens a lot with a flare. I have pain right in the middle of my sternum and it radiates straight through to my back. I could barely move it hurt so bad. There was so much pressure that ...

Thanks for the tips! Anxiety isn't exactly my problem. Not in general. But I've had some bad experiences on the road with no bathroom in sight. So the anxiety comes from knowing there won't be a bathroom and thinking about that sends me right to the bathroom. Or just regular, everyday stress might c...

So my Dr prescribed amitrptyline yesterday. He said because I flare so much during stress that he believes that it would do wonders for me. I took my first pill, 10 mg, last night. I woke up feeling completely drugged up. It wasn't just being tired, but felt like someone slipped me something. And ha...

Remembering that is really helping me avoid the foods I shouldn't eat. I'm just confused as what foods are bad. I hear so many different things from different people. I ate something bad yesterday cuz I'm having a lot of pain in my sternum and it's swollen again. No D yet tho. Since I scored only on...

Hi, yes, I've been taken all of that out for the past month. Have only been eating chicken, rice, bananas, rice cakes and rice cereal with almond milk. But looking at the things I've been eating, different seasonings and everything, there was a lot of soy. Even in the rice cereal I was eating. It ex...

Feel free to add my results. That's not a problem.
So is this something that I should check in with my Dr about or will it just resolve on its own? I was on the brat diet a week before taking the test. No oils. I always bake my chicken.

Really? Wow! I'm gonna have to double check all my makeup. Thanks for the tip!
It all is starting to make sense why I'd react to certain things and not others and why it was so difficult to pinpoint what it was.

Oh wow, that list in intense. So avoid anything with all of those ingredients? Here I thought soy would be the easiest.
Do you know anything about the fat malabsorption test results?
Thank you for that list! Will definitely take it shopping with me.

Here are my test results. I was so excited to see that the only thing I can't have is soy, and that wasn't even that high. But I'm still confused as to why I react every time I eat something other that the brat diet. And I don't totally understand the fat malabsorbtion testing. I understand that it'...

Thanks for all the tips! I'll definitely try everything!
With the magnesium and vitamin D, what's the best dose? I checked with my local GNC and they have what I need, dairy, gluten etc free. But all different mg per pill.

The only thing I'm taking right now is Apriso. Not sure if I spelled that right. 4 pills a day. The Dr prescribed an antidepressant for me. I can't remember the name of it, but from what I've been reading on here, this one either helps or causes things to get worse. So I'm still on the fence about t...

So I've followed the advice I've been given here and stopped the random bites I've been eating of the "bad foods" and the D is completely gone. Kind of a nice break from several times a day. But now I can feel that I'm constipated. I haven't gone in a few days at all and I can feel that I ...

That's really interesting that you brought up folate because 9 years ago my son was born with spina bifida even tho I had been taking folic acid 4 months before conceiving him. The Dr said, after all the testing, that I probably wasn't absorbing any of it due to IBS. Which now I know it was probably...
