MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Marcia, I can take pepto. My gastro instructed me to take benefiber and a probiotic along with Bentyl.

Tex, I have to wear them everyday all day. Many days they don't work and I have to jump in the shower several times a day. I guess I could try
Doubling up!

Thanks Gabes! Lot of good ideas there about food and letting people know I need the restroom. I think my main concern is while I'm riding down the road and need to "go" quickly. Now I can just go jump in the shower. I won't have that luxury on the road. I thought maybe someone could give m...

Ok I previously stated that I had cancelled my trip with the family due to spending so much time in the car and limited resources like a washing machine. I have been thinking about how I could manage on the road and try to go. Do any of you have experience with traveling with chronic diarrhea? I nee...

Gabes-Apg
Gabes, is the eating plan you mentioned on the website?

Tex, you talk about as my gut begins to heal. How is it going to do that exactly?

I'm so sad tonight. I had to cancel a trip my son and his family including my 1 year old grandson had planned for us. Breaks my heart but there is no way I can go like this. They don't live here so we don't get to see them much. The site here gives me hope that after much trial and error I may one d...

Thanks Gabes. It looks like this thing is most definitely trial and error. I am still in denial thinking I have a paddle but am "paddleless". i asked my gastro for a CT scan and/or MRI of my intestines to check for cancer or a tumor but he declined saying I had a diagnosis. I still want to...

Hi HappyBird! Thank you!

Has anyone had success with Bentyl Lomotil or Prevalite?

Thanks Gabes! It's so good to read about people who aren't having symptoms. It gives me hope that maybe one day I will be symptom free! I do wonder if anyone else has to wear Depends and if their diarrhea comes on all of a sudden with incontinence?

Thanks again Tex. Can you tell me where to find Dee's recipes? And also I stopped taking my Prozac because I read SSRI's can cause CC. I also read PPI's can cause it. I stopped taking the PPI several weeks ago. Now I am scared to take anything and I need a antidepressant. I am snapping at everyone.

This is my second post. Since Monday I had been able to wait until I got to the bathroom. Thursday night I had a cup of coffee. Mistake. Since then I have had bowel incontinence and last night I had to get up many times to go. I wear depends every day for a month now. Have had diarrhea for 4 months....

Thank you Tex for your reply. That will be fine with me to post this where it will get more reponse.

Hello, Newbie here, after colonoscopy I was diagnosed with collagenous colitis. Earlier this year after endoscopy I was diagnosed with GERD and gastritis. I had my thyroid removed 5 years ago. I am 57 and living a new normal that is not so normal. All of a sudden started having diarrhea about 4 mont...
