MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Thank you for all of your advice over the years, Tex! I surely wouldn't have gotten such good results without the help of this forum. Thank you for everything!

Best wishes -

Hi All, To give a little background: I was diagnosed with LC in May, 2017 and this forum was (and has been) the reason that I have been able to lead a pretty normal lifestyle. I've had flare-ups from time to time - I always stay away from gluten, dairy, soy and only eat egg if it has been baked. In ...

Good Morning ~ I wanted to stop in to say thank you for your support when I need guidance and support. I am coming off of a terrible flare that has been ongoing since early November. Tex, I appreciate your kindness and support! I am scheduled for my colonoscopy at the end of January - got a RX for B...

Hi Tex, Thank you so much for taking the time to reply. Since I posted the response, after a bad start Saturday morning, I took two Imodium and ate several small meals of very safe food each day (avocado, banana, ground turkey or ground beef, white rice). Yesterday (I did not poop) and I did eat a b...

Hi All, I was diagnosed with LC in June, 2017 and prescribed Budesonide, I also did the Enterolab testing and found out that I am allergic to gluten, dairy, soy, and egg. I took the Budesonide from June, 2017 until early 2018 starting with 3/day and slowly tapering off. I have done pretty well since...

Thank you, Tex - I will get an appointment with my primary to get it checked out. I appreciate your help and hope you have a nice Thanksgiving!

Hi All - I feel like a fickle friend - this forum was literally my lifeline when I was initially diagnosed with LC in 2017 ~ I viewed the message board daily. Since then, I have been back again when symptoms returned - got great advice again and have been doing pretty well by managing my diet (GF, D...

I am, Tex! I had googled “pea protein” to check for soy and got info that it was soy free. I should know by now not to believe everything I read. The word “pea” did jump out to me as something I shouldn’t have and I should have gone with my gut. I’ve been back in green tea and things are better. I w...

Hi All ~. After posting a few weeks ago when I was in the midst of a flare that I couldn’t calm down, I started to feel much better about 7-10 days ago. Norman came back (yay!) and I no longer needed Imodium. I continued to eat cautiously but started expanding my diet from the very basics successful...

Thank you, Tex - I'm trying to hold off on meeting with my GI but will discuss with her when I see her in September. I also re-read a lot of the info on here about Stage 1 diet and I am going to focus on eating protein with smaller amounts of white rice, red potato, overcooked green beans. Summer ve...

Hi All, After enjoying several years of remission, I reached out to you in the Spring as I was having a hard time getting a flare under control. With the advice of you all, I tried doing the Pepto regimen but it seemed like when I was taking a lot of Pepto, I was getting really itchy feeling at nigh...

Oatmeal is one of the food items that I have missed most of all!!! When I was visiting my daughter last summer, I used a little oat creamer in my coffee and didn't have any problem (I usually use an almond based one). I think that I will give Bob's organic GF oats a try sometime!!! Thank you for sha...

Thank you, Marcia ~ and thank you for your advice while I was struggling!!! I think the week on Pepto really helped my system calm down. I'm grateful for your help and support!!

Best wishes ~
Pam

Thank you, Tex! I will keep you posted and won’t be a stranger to this great community!!!

Best wishes ~

Hi All, I just wanted to give you an update to let you know that things seem to be going in the right direction! Following a flare that I just couldn't seem to get under control, I went back to a very basic diet and followed the Pepto regime for about a week. After a week with Pepto, I was feeling s...
