MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

It's so good to hear that you're home, Tex! Take it easy!

Love,

Courtney

Hi Tiny, I just wanted to jump in here as someone who was also diagnosed in her twenties. I began having D symptoms when I was 21, and they got worse from there. I was finally diagnosed at 26, after a series of doctor visits that sound pretty similar to yours. Thinking back, I'd had some symptoms fr...

I'm so glad to hear that Tex is stable and hopefully improving. I've been thinking of him all day.

Courtney

Wow. I have not been on the board for a few days and just saw all of this tonight. What a terrible thing to go through, and especially after all Tex has done for his health...Prayers are going up from me too...

Courtney

Thanks for all the birthday wishes! I have been reading on the board recently. My job has kept me so busy I haven't had much time to post, but in this economy I can't complain too much about that. I'm still pursuing remission and moving closer and closer to the paleolithic diet.

Love,
Courtney

Thanks, Joan. I'm going to send this to my family. Not that I expect it will do much good. *sigh* They are all in denial.

Hi Gloria, I figured out tapioca was causing my problems this summer. I don't have a foolproof test, but I know for sure that I'm intolerant to tapioca. Cutting out a lot of grains did not leave me with much, so the few processed foods I was still eating (1-2-3 GF mixes, Namaste mixes, and Nana's co...

Congratulations on your anniversary, Gloria. I haven't been to Fleming's, but I have thought about it many times. I do like Joe's in Chicago, which could be an option for you. The kitchen and wait staff are all wonderful, and they take very good care of me without making me feel like some kind of se...

I just wanted to chime in here as a person who has been diagnosed with celiac and MC. FWIW, my celiac biopsies were only a Marsh I level--not terribly advanced at all. My gluten antibodies were very high, though. I had had early symptoms of celiac for nine years prior to diagnosis, and had had unrem...

Happy Birthday, G'ma Mary!

Courtney

Hope your birthday is wonderful, Gloria!

Lots of Birthday Wishes!

Courtney

Thanks, all. Gloria, I figured out that I have to grade sixteen papers a day to stay on top of things. I have to explain to my impatient students that I can't just put their papers through the Scantron machine! I had my first observation two weeks ago, and it went really well. Tex, tapioca was defin...

Hi all, I have been away from the board for a few weeks, but I have checked in from time to time to read posts. I see that we have a lot of new members! I have been very busy with my new job, teaching, grading, and planning, so I haven't had much time to post. I really enjoy it (most of the time, wh...

I saw this article yesterday. When I first went GF, I bought all the expensive products, and yes, there's definitely sticker shock! Now that I eat mostly Paleo, except for rice, I've found that my grocery bills are less than they were before I went GF, despite the fact that I almost always buy organ...

Hope you have a great time, Gloria! You seem very well prepared.
