MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Go get 'em Tiger!!! How very exciting for everyone that will benefit!!!!

Good morning Tamara, Welcome!! You've come to the right place!! Good luck with your recovery. Don't ever stop thinking that remission won't happen; we just have to be diligent. Whenever I start thinking "why me" I tell myself "because I am strong enough of a person to handle this dise...

Hi Rose, Sorry to hear of all your troubles; life can really bite sometimes!!! I was diagnosed in 1/08 but was not put on the Entocort until 7/08. I was doing the 9 mg/day for 3 months. I found nearly immediate relief (not complete as I was still ingesting the allergens I later found out about). Aft...

Thanks, Hotrod!!! I asked and the Doc said that he can't even get tests paid for that are medically accepted let alone something like this!! I wasn't surprised by any means. Figured it was worth a try. Will order tests once my finances are in order. Meanwhile I will continue to figure it out on my o...

Thanks, Tex!!!
My GP is the best. I'm sure he would consider any request that I might have.
Thanks again.

Hi everybody, I have an appt in the a.m. w/ my GP for my annual physical. I am seeking advice as to what further testing I should request. I've been researching the IGe blood tests but have found differing thoughts on the reliability of the results. Also, at the onset of my symptoms (11/07) there we...

I was just reading today's posts and in my "brain fog" was staring off into space and my DH noticed and asked what I was thinking about and I said I was "space trucking" and he asked what was I hauling and I responded (without thinking)---I'm hauling a bunch of poop!!!!!! Crackin...

Happy Birthday Courtney!!!!!
Please, just don't give up Hope!!

Good morning Bren,
I've been on the Entocort, off and on for 6+ months, and have had no ill side effects. My D was significantly reduced (from 8-12 times/day to maybe 2 times/day).
Hope you get to feeling better!!

Amen, Sister!!!!
These are the nicest, most understanding people that I have ever "met".
THANKS EVERYONE!!!

Hi Bren and WELCOME!! As you can see, I am a newbie myself. I went back and checked this a.m. and I added this website to my "favorites" on 11/8/08 but did not register until this month... I can understand your thankfullness for this website!! I started the GF diet the day after Thanksgivi...

Dee,
I'm just north of Columbus.
I had printed out Dr. Fine's website and tried to give it to my GI in the hopes that he would ok the tests; he glanced at it, rolled his eyes (for the 2nd time during this appt) and threw it down. So much for trying!!!

Thanks, Joan & Dee!!
Dee, I see that you are in Ohio; are you a "Buckeye"? Also, wanted to know if you GI is informative regarding MC; I believe it would be worth the drive. Mine is completely worthless. I'm removing him from my health loop except to get the Entocort.

Good morning Dee,
Thanks for the warm welcome!!!
I would not be in remission now if it were not for you and all the others here; I've been skulking around the website for 3+ months...
I'm still feeling a little hesitant to post but I'm sure I will come around.
Have a Great Day!!!

Hi Greengirl, I started the gf diet the day after Thanksgiving and felt immediately better; not to say that I am following an exacting diet as it takes time to find the sneaky stuff. I had relief from joint pain, general aches, headaches, fibro-m and my energy levels seem to improve daily (unless I ...
