MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Does anyone else have trouble when they eat spinach? I am not sure if it is indeed just the spinach because I had other foods also the same night. I spend the next day in the bathroom and in bed. Let me know if spinach seems to be a problem for other or if I really need to look at the other foods I ...

I am not taking either D3 or magnesium at this time. I tried magnesium on the advise of a chiropractor for leg pain a little over a year ago but I started throwing up from that. Can I start D3 at a high dose without a test or do I need to get a test and then start with a lower dose and build up? My ...

I haven't posted for awhile because due to the good info I found on this site I have been somewhat stable. I am GF, EF, DF and I only use stevia if I need to sweeten something. I have a diagnosis of LC but I also have a diagnosis of Barrettes esophagus. I am taking esomeprazole for my Barrettes but ...

Hi everyone, I found your info regarding the facebook page and I have asked to join. I also saw that Tex posted the website to the Microscopic Colitis Foundation. When I started reading about MC it is telling me that people should not be using PPI's. I would like to know if someone has had an experi...

Merry Christmas everyone. I had my 2nd doctor appointment since my diagnosis. The doctor was very happy about all the help you have given me and said the diet was great. Thank you all for your support. It is not always easy but I am working on it and my husband is very supportive, always asking if I...

Gabes, Thank you for the info. It really does help. I feel like perhaps I only think these foods are a problem but then when I eat them I realize that I do feel different, as in not as good as I feel when I don't eat them. This disease certainly has a learning curve. I will continue to try to stay o...

Hi everyone. Hope all had a blessed Thanksgiving. I have been gluten free for about 3 weeks now. I am also getting very very small amounts of lactose. Most in the form of a bit of creamer in my one cup of coffee in the morning. I also avoid eggs (they are bad news) and most nuts. Nuts seem to upset ...

Saw your post about the eggless flu shot. There is such a thing. My daughter needs it but it has to be a special order and your doctor has to order it. My daughter works in a hospital so they are ordering it for her because if she doesn't get the shot she has to mask at work. That's a pain. The supp...

I also have a low back pain right above my buttocks. It isn't there all the time. I had a feeling that it was from the colitis. I am glad the question was asked because now as my diet improves I will see it goes away completely.
thank you for your question and response

I am not taking 8 pepto a day because at this time my D has stopped. I however have a lot of gas and a lot of bloating when I eat. I always feel like I should go but at this time it is not D but it is also not normal. I have an upset stomach a lot. I doctor wants me on the medication for awhile to s...

At the same time that my D started I also started throwing up from eggs, Ezekiel and some supplements that I had been taking. To this point I was eating eggs every morning for breakfast. I tried 1/2 banana this week but my stomach didn't like that at all. Even though I didn't get D from it Ifelt lik...

I have recently been diagnosed with Lymphocytic Colitis. I have the D for 3 straight months. I got up one day and it just started. It appeared I had the flu but after a few days it didn't stop so on day 9 I finally saw a doctor and the testing started. I have chosen not to take Budesonide but am usi...
