MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Was diagnosed with MC and thought I would try the Asacol under my GI's insistence along with the GF diet. Then had gastroscopy which showed definite Celiac. On the Asacol for a month with absolutely no difference at all. When I spoke with my GI the other night I asked her about the Asacol and told h...

Was diagnosed with MC in July. Having quite a bit of pain went to GI last month. Had gastroscopy and blood work. Results of biopsy were positive for Celiac however my blood work was negative.

Thank you all for the birthday wishes. I was away and just checked into the board to see what was up and saw that greeting and made me really smile. Thanks again all!

Thank You all for the warm welcome and for the replies to my question regarding the Benefiber. Sometime I get so discouraged but I keep plugging along. Feel like all I ever think about is what I'm going to eat and how many times I'm going to poop (excuse me) in a day and when is it ever going to be ...

I am new to this board having just been diagnosed with MC. Working with a nutritionist rather than the medication route and have been feeling so discouraged but still plugging along. She has me taking Benefiber at least 4 or 5 tsp per day for the last 3 weeks but not sure if this is for me. Trying t...
