MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Hi everyone, thank you so much for the kind words and helpful suggestions! I am especially excited to look into Rosie's suggestion of a meal delivery service. It really is a bummer to have to worry about grocery shopping and cooking while on vacation, so I think the delivery service would be a great...

Hi everyone! Happy Friday. I live across the country from my parents/sister (who all live in the town where I grew up). I typically would go and visit quite a bit, which I did last weekend for Easter. It was a disaster. I thought it would be okay if I did all of my own grocery shopping and cooked my...
