MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Thank you. This does help.

I was very strict on gluten free. I have a hard time finding these products, such as GF bread, with little to no fiber though. I was only off dairy one day bc thought I'd give it a go. But as I said, it ended up being a bad day. I still don't understand why one week I was fine on regular food and th...

Ok, after being on entocort 3weeks, going GF, and even tried a dairy free day- and had terrible gas- my stomach seems worse. I'm starting to wonder if something much worse is wrong with me, and it's scaring me. And I feel alone, bc this was the med after asacol that was supposed to work. Sure, I've ...

Thx! I think it was a new cereal with 1 gram more fiber. I did not realize I could get my cereal in town, but I found it, and got some yesterday. I'm just doing the best I can, and if I have diarrhea with my hip replacement, so be it!! Lela

After 2 normal BMs yesterday, last night got gassy and have had some diarrhea :sad: Granted, between all my meds it's not as bad as before started entocort ( beginning week 3now). I've gone gluten free as much as I know. It's helped, it seems. Just have to watch out for pesky fiber which I don't tol...

Thx!! I think I'll stick to the one I'm on. My MC actually got better on it when I had my first ever flare and I've taken it since. I also just wet GF!! Of course I'm also on entocort but MC And my mood seem improved.

Just curious if anyone has any input about Garden on Eden probiotic helping their MC? Someone recommend it. I use the Culturelle Digestive formula, personally, but if something else is better.....thx!!

@dhouts thx for the info. Just until recently I could eat pretty much anything in reason with asacol, but I noticed gradually, no big salads, then no salads. Need cooked to death veggi s and not a lot. I don't like spicy foods, and can't drink lots of caffeine bc gives me jitters. So my diet ends up...

Things seem more normal now and slightly loose, but much better. Fingers crossed! Thx!!

Had BM morn. My Dad used to say your bowels control your health. I'm starting to wonder!! Lol!!

After almost a month with problems with loose stools or diarrhea- severe at the end, am on Entocort and BAM! No poop! Is this normal?? Thx!!

Thank you!!

I have recently read about the latter drug. I think I will be on entocort about up to my surgery. So hopefully we'll go from there. Only thing is, I have read the latter drug did not affect all parts of the colon needed for MC remission. Ugh!!! One day at a time, right??

Hi, I am so glad to find you!! I'm starting on Entocort tomorrow after a month's flare of Collagenos Colitis which has become unbearable!!! I've been on Asacol after being dx couple years back. That and some Immodium did the trick for some time. I recently made plans to get a THR, And got my flare....
