MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Thanks so much for all of the input! I am on my way to the drugstore to try the desitin, I used it on my kids when they were babies! I have used the cortisone, this time it doesn't seem to be working. I so appreciate all of you and hope all are doing well today.

I made a dental appointment today and am a wreck wondering if I can sit there for an hour without an accident! Most o...

Hi and thanks for your responses. My first remission came about after about 3 months on Asacol. My dr. who is not very helpful, insists that diet has nothing to do with this. Why are so many of them like this!? Anyway, this go round the Asacol did nothing so he put me on pepto for about two months, ...

Hi all, My remission of about three years ended almost a year ago. I have had almost no days without watery D, etc, since. I have tried gluten free and lactose free but it didn't help much but maybe I wasn't strict enough with it. I have been down to about two or three bouts a day until this past we...
