MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Hi Tex, I do not see anything on the report that mentions lymphocyte counts. Below are the Microscopic Descriptions and Diagnosis for the two biopsy samples that were taken during the colonoscopy. Thanks again for your help, Joe Microscopic Description: (Specimen 1) Colonic mucosa shows preserved cr...

Hi Tex, As I previously mentioned, I was diagnosed with CC back in 2008 after an endoscopy/colonoscopy. Starting in 2009, I went gluten free. I believe that removing gluten from my diet made a big difference in the D, although my stomach continues to give me fits. I just received the biopsy report f...

Thanks so much Tex, you are a wealth of knowledge. It's a shame that most of the GI docs out there are so in the dark when it comes to CC. I am 64 and have been gluten free for several years now.

Are there any supplements th...

Several years ago, as the result of a colonoscopy/endoscopy with tissue biopsy, I was diagnosed with Collagenous Colitis. I went through a horrible period dealing with D. My gall bladder was removed about a year later, and not sure if it was a coincidence, but my D. stopped not to long after the sur...
