MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Thank you Laine. I appreciate your input and will explore BAM with my doctor. When looking at my Enterolab scores, it seems I would have been in much worse condition than I am. (Knock on wood!) I certainly have days with D, but also many with only 1-2 BMs that are pretty solid. I always have urgency...

Thank you so much, Brandy. Loss is always hard. It feels like many people have the opinion that those dying from Covid don't really matter because they must be elderly or have underlying health issues...as if that matters.

Hello! Happy 2018! I've been on a full dose of Budesonide since mid-September. I was feeling okay and BMs were usually loose but not D. My doctor wanted me to eat plenty of gluten for an endoscopy to test for Celiac, so I haven't changed my diet (other than low fiber...few veggies and fewer fruits)....
