MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

My biggest question to anyone who has experienced pregnancy is did you colitis interfere? My GI told me that sometimes no colitis symptoms at all bc your body is in baby protection mode This was me - hopefully you will be equally lucky! I was on Asacol when I became pregnant - I ditched it around m...

Initially coffee gave me trouble. Now I can tolerate decaf.

DX 9/2000. I think Maggie and I met on Sally's board around the same time...I have been basically asymptomatic since mid-2002 with dietary changes (tried meds first which helped me, as well)

Tex- That was after surgery #2 because of poor margins - biopsy and initial surgery confirmed malignancy. I may have never updated after that - it got long and drawn out, but I got a 2nd opinion from a pathologist who had been researching this type of cancer for 30+ years and he disagreed with the l...

I think it will be interesting to follow if the removal of inflammatory foods from our diets will impact our cancer rates. It just dawned on me that, to date, at least, as far as I am aware, no one here has ever been diagnosed with cancer after they joined. Tex Well - I hate to prove your informal ...

School year is off to a busy start! Unfortunately I'm worried my husband may end up having to join our group :shock: Hopefully not! We went back to MN in late July/early Aug. The peak of bug season. We all got eaten alive by mosquitoes (plus biting flies up @ the lake) - really nasty - I had huge we...

If you have PF Changs they have a gluten-free menu. It's the only place I trust for Chinese. Of course if soy is your issue that won't matter...

I have become caffeine-intolerant as well as gluten-intolerant. Also artificial sweeteners give me the runs. 95% of the time no soda is worth it...

Olyrob- Welcome! I'm an old-timer and don't get here much anymore - but I want you to know GF was not a quick fix for me, either! Unfortunately, extreme patience is needed with this condition :eek: I went GF in April 2001. I was also taking Asacol. Things became "manageable" but I certainl...

I got "glutened" last Friday and shock of all shocks I has no reaction :grin: I ordered a sauteed shrimp dish with veggies and a wine sauce - when it arrived, the shrimp clearly had some sort of breading on it :???: I felt stupid for not asking (but to me sauteed does not mean breaded!) An...

What a bunch of Norman snobs

Only "perfect" Normans need apply

Thanks for the "pick-me-up" on a dreary, rainy day....

I'm still chuckling-

Polly- I did Go-lytely and the sheer volume was just ROUGH! I was puking it up at the end and couldn't finish. He told me there's something called "half-lytely" or another one that are smaller quantities...he said the pill prep requires swallowing about 40 pills but all of these options so...
