MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Tex, I think you're right about the whole perfect storm thing. I should have backed off the new foods with the hormonal changes that were about to occur, as I've suspected the hormones were affecting things in the past. The cigarettes were sort of beyond my control, as the place I buy them had run o...

Gabes, thank you for your response! I know, be patient, right? My husband has told me a few times to be more patient with regard to dealing with this. I know you both are right. Actually, he's told me to be more patient numerous times over many years... patience has not been one of my stronger trait...

Tex, I'm so glad you said this: There has definitely been a major shift in the threshold at which my emotions are triggered. I've been wondering what was wrong with me for a few months now, and was attributing it to having come off of the sertraline, and perhaps changed brain chemistry from being on...

I thought I’d post an update, as the last time I posted I was having trouble deciding between cutting out only gluten and dairy initially vs. going right into a full elimination diet, cutting out everything.

Tex, I understand the meaning of the word sidetracked more completely than I would like to admit! No shame in it though - you're a very busy person! Glad I could help.

Hi Tex,
Just lurking around here, and thought I'd see if I could find the information within the original site you posted the link to. Does this look like it could be the updated link to that info?

Thank you all for the warm welcome and great input! Jari, I have definitely given thought to diet changes and realize that it may be necessary. I’ve been trying to decide if I should do EnteroLab testing, but I’m not convinced that the tests will give me any better answers than diet changes would pr...

Hello, all! I was diagnosed with collagenous colitis one month ago. Since that day, I have been doing as much research as I can, and I have found reading this forum particularly informative. I am very thankful to have found the wealth of knowledge you folks offer here! I’m going to apologize right n...
