MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Thank you Gabes for agreeing to serve on the board. We all appreciate you.

Hi barbieAnn: I think you should fire your GI doctor if that's what they told you about Celiac disease. They need to do a biopsy and send it to a lab to diagnose it, you don't just look at it and say it's not there. If you plan on being very strictly gluten free for the rest of your life, then a pro...

More prayers for you Rebecca.

Susan:

Thanks for sharing! Have you gone through a bottle yet? Wondering about how long it lasted you...

I struggle with this as well. Being fairly new to the game and my symptoms were never 'that bad' I want to get back to NORMAL. The only reason I searched for a diagnosis was because things weren't normal so it seems to me that getting back to normal is what I should be striving for. But I'm slowly c...

Hi Erica: Thanks for the feedback. I was a 1 on corn on my enterolab tests so I've been avoiding it until at least I'm in remission. The jerky is interesting, have you found that to be readily available or do you have to order it online and carry it with you? The article is interesting... I'll have ...

Thanks all for your input here. To provide an update I'm doing ok without anti-histamines. Mosquito season has started at my house so I'm in the phase of is that a mosquito bite or a hive? So far they all are mosquito bites so I need to start staying inside at dusk and dawn again, hate spraying myse...

Hi Lilja:

Thank you for sharing your story. It provides motivation and useful information. Hope it all continues to go well for you.

Thank you Tex and Erica for your replies. I think I will follow the advice from both of you. I'll save the Zyrtec for days when I need to leave the house early in the day ( IE when I need it like Tex suggested ), and I'm upping my Methylguard for a few days. I was just taking one capsule a day. I'm ...

Hi all: So, I am in phase 1 of the diet. My symptoms, thank the Lord, have never been really really bad. I'm more chasing down health to keep healthy if you know what I mean. I still have loose stools and what I've noticed, if I take anti-histamines it goes from about 3 a day to 1 a day. Roughly... ...

so far as what to do re eating plan/lifestyle - listen to your body. and mentally and emotionally we have to find the sweet spot of balance - proactive enough to prevent issues, but not be obsessive that we are overthinking and stressing.. remove/avoid as many triggers as we can, and for those trig...

One more thing on those lists... I researched coffee a while back because it's something I love and am always wondering if I should give up... Never seems to make a difference when I do, so then I wonder if I didn't give it up long enough, circle repeats, etc. So the study they seem to get the coffe...

Gabes:

Thanks for sharing the information. Let us know how it goes with taking eggs and sweet potatoes out. I'm curious to see how it goes for you.

Hey Gabes:

Not following the sweet potato thing. That's not on the list, how did you decide you have an issue with it again?

I'm practically living off sweet potatoes right now...

I used to live on it.... But I used to do a lot of stupid things, that wasn't even the worst of it!
