MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Hello all - I was first on this board in Sept 2015 when I was diagnosed. I am now 38 years old. For the first two years after taking a course of Budesonide I was in remission. Was GF the first year, second year reintroduced, then at the end of the second year flared again. Was able to subside with p...

Hello everyone - I just wanted to share this. By being careful with diet (GF, limited dairy), I can usually remain symptom free. However, last week on vacation I started having a flare up, I believe due to the altitude and eating out more. I have been taking a CBD oil isolate for 6 months, which hel...

Hello - It has been over a year since I posted. I was diagnosed with CC in September 2016, went on Endocort for four months in October 2016. Was GF/DF for a year and also began a strict regimen of vitamins, supplements, etc based off of recommendations from this site and other research. I have been ...

I was reading some posts earlier this week and I thought I came across one that mentioned long term usage of 5ASAs contribute to triggering of other AI diseases? I cannot find the post anywhere and when running a Google search do not come across anything as well. I believe Tex mentioned this. Is thi...

Erica P-G Hi! Thanks for posting a response about going gluten free. I know you said you are also avoiding soy and egg. When you say egg do you mean like cooked egg, or things that have egg in it? Also, how do you avoid soy when you go out? I feel like that is practically impossible? What are your ...

I am on Endocort/Lomotil which worked immediately after I switched from Pepto/Lomotil (which also worked immediately). I am averaging one solid BM each morning. I know GF will possibly help me remain in remission, but how long did it take you to know GF was working, either with meds or without? How ...

I am reading more about going soy free and that is what seems to be the most difficult. It is in EVERYTHING. Even if I try and go gluten free, soy is virtually in all the gluten free products in some form of gum or lecithin. I try and eat very unprocessed foods as it is, but if I am eliminating dair...

Can you please tell me what probiotic you used during your gut healing, and if you continue to use that one now? At what dose? Thanks!

I am a new diagnosis of CC. In a few of the medical journals I read, it said that while quality of life is rough, MC is relatively benign and seems to run its course in a majority of people in a mean average of 38 months, with about 1/4 of people still experiencing occasional diarrhea. Does this see...

I posted the other day that I was recently diagnosed with CC, and was responding well to Pepto 8X a day with 1 Lomotil at night and 1/2 in the morning ( a full makes me drowsy). Unfortunately, I had a D episode last night and one this morning after feeling great since Friday. I don't know if it is b...

I definitely exercise regularly, but my workouts have suffered the past few months. I still average 3-4 times a week though. Chemgirl, my questions is for you. How did you treat your CC? How long did it take before you got results? Have you had any flares, have you treated those? How long of a times...

Thanks so much for your response! What about GF oats and quinoa? Are those okay?

Hi - I am a 34 year old F and was recently diagnosed with CC after a colonscopy last week. I have had diarrhea for about 3 months now, usually 5-6 times a day, mostly after I ate. Prior to this, I had a very healthy, clean foods, high fiber diet. Not working so much now! My dr suggested starting wit...
