MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Hi, all Checking in, also with a question. I've been on a combo of Entocort and Asacol for several months. First 9mg Entocort for a month, then tapering off. I've been doing so much better, with enough energy to bike, swim, etc. and start thinking about doing something for others rather than concent...

Hi, Pat, I've had a fair amount of acupuncture over the years in the course of my search for an alternative approach to healing MC. I'll add that I'm now on Entecort, which has been a real help. I went through a period of weekly acupuncture for maybe a year. I was also on a gluten free, etc., diet. ...

I'm happy to be in Flagstaff, where it is windy but sunny. Hopefully your flare up will clear--I tried diet for years wit...

Hi, KD, I just joined this forum recently, and have found it to be a great source of help. I'm also a cyclist, among other things, so I am interested in any suggestions about working with this condition and being able to keep up our passion for all things two wheeled! I've had CC for about 9 years, ...

Thank you all for the wonderful responses. Tex, thanks for the caring that is evident in your posts, your encouragement, and the tip about dairy. I actually eat little dairy, finding that I just don't have much of a taste for it. I got some Parmesan cheese last week, and ended up sprinkling it on to...

Hello, all It's very good to have found this community. You all seem to represent a wealth of wisdom. I've had MC for about 9 years, with all the symptoms that we know and hate. I have been reluctant to go the drug route, and have tried to use diet and alternative medicine to work with it, with limi...
