MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Hi Maggie; I thought I had your e-mail address around here somewhere, but I can't find it - besides it's probably so old it may not even be correct any longer. Anyway, I have some bird pictures I'd love to share with you! If you have my address, or if you ask Tex to send me yours, I'll be happy to s...

Thanks, Joan. I haven't taken time to look at any of these sites, but they do look good. I saved it to my "medical info" file!

Annie; I'm a bit late in welcoming you, but wanted to say "hi" and "welcome" anyway! I'm really impressed that you have an MD who is also naturopathic and who recommended the GF diet! Great find in that doc! I just want to echo what others have said, especially to b patient with ...

Sue; I know 100% that travelers diarrhea is what precipitated my MC - I never use the word "caused" because I have come to believe that I was predisposed to developing it anyway, but my body needed a "trigger". (Perhaps this is outdated info, but it is what I learned when first d...

Lyn; I love a cooked cereal some mornings. Where I live, we almost NEVER see a "cold" morning, but a nice warm cereal is still good on occasion. I happen to really like both quinoa and buckwheat cereal, but I never cook and eat them plain. I prefer cooked with raisins, dried cranberries, a...

Tex; Well, I just logged in using Firefox and it let me into the map. I put myself on it - didn't get an exact location (only 3 tries), but if you zoom in close enough I got myself located within a few blocks. Guess that's not too bad. I still don't know what happened with Safari, but Firefox worked...

Tex; I use Safari, and every time I click on the map icon at the top of this page, Safari "unexpectedly ends". I haven't seen the Phoogle Map at all - never heard of it until you brought it up. I'm not big into this tech-y stuff, but thought I'd try to view it. I tried when you first poste...

Lyn; Let me be first in your intro thread to say WELCOME!!! You have definitely found the right place to discuss your potty issues, as well as anything else you feel the need or desire to talk about. We are here for each other - and that now means YOU!!! You have just become a "Potty Person&quo...

Down here in Deep South Texas, we are still in the 70's!! :wink: However, a cold front is expected to come through in about an hour. The 10:00 news tonight said that about an hr's drive away from here was reporting 45 degrees, and we were reporting 72 degrees! When I got off work, it was still in th...

Jill; Welcome!!! I can't say much more than others here have, but want to make sure you know you can always do as you just have - post any time and say anything. You are so right - we've been there and nothing grosses us out. The gluten free GF diet is the way many of us have chosen to control our s...

Bren; My dr said the same thing about eating gluten when I first found out about the correlation between diet and MC. Somehow, back then I felt I needed his approval to do the diet. So, when he said I didn't need it, I didn't do it. Well, I have often said the third time's a charm, because the third...

Angy; I'm glad you mentioned meditation. When I was ill, it was so hard to make myself exercise - the constant need for the bathroom, and the pain, and the depression, and everything else - it's just not easy to get off the couch or out of the bed to exercise. I found out I could do yoga in my own h...

One other suggestion. I found a great site a short while ago. Go to www.GlutenFreeChecklist.com and you can sign up for daily e-mails. What you get is something called "What's for Dinner?" When you open it, it is a GF recipe (not always free of other concerns, though) and a box below the r...

Bren; I decided it was time to start a new thread. I also wanted to attract others (especially "newbies") who want to eat out. There are tons of on-line "helps" regarding eating out and remaining gluten free. However, in general, I would suggest that you always go with the attitu...

Courtney; You've already received lots of great advice as well as understanding from others. I really have no new advice to offer, but I want to add to the others who have told you that we do understand. You never need to feel bad for posting when you are feeling "down" - as Tex said, that...
