MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Hi. I have a very strong intolerance to dairy. I just picked up a generic version of imodium that seems to be dairy free, but can anyone weigh in? Inactive ingredients: corn starch, D&C yellow #10 aluminum lake, dicalcium phosphate dihydrate, FD&C blue #1 brillant blue lake, magnesium steara...

Its that time of the year and my allergies are acting up. :(
Is it ok to take Benadryl? Does it contain dairy? thanks.

also, in the event that i do go and get antibiotics, does cipro contain dairy? (all other intolerances are ok with me)

I was under the impression that is just for prevention and not getting rid of an existing one?

Basically I think I have a UTI. I know I need antibiotics to treat it. I've never taken any type of antibiotics with MC. I'm terrified of the reactions I may have to the meds. :(

I avoid dairy, but not soy or gluten. Is Benadryl safe to take with MC?

I don't avoid gluten or soy in my diet, but I do avoid dairy/lactose. I have been to 4 stores in my area looking for imodium, all of which were out. I remember reading that most generic versions contain lactose. I was wondering if anyone could recommend a store brand that does not contain lactose/da...

my mom told me she was diagnosed with this via colonoscopy, only after her biopsy was reviewed. This was a couple years ago and she is still struggling with constant D. When she was first diagnosed, she was prescriped asacol and told to try the pepto treatment. Neither of which worked for her so rig...

I tend to have very bad cramps during my period. Before being diagnosed, I used to take ibuprofen, which helped quite a bit. I have since tried taking tylenol and do not get any relief from it. I know it's best to stay away from NSAIDs, so I am trying to find an alternative that may work a little be...

thank you for the replies.

i know everyone is different, but anyone know about how long on a gf diet would i see some improvement with the noises?

prior to adaptaing a GF/DF diet, did anyone experience constant stomach rumbling/random abdominal noises? I haven't been diagnosed with anything other than IBS at this point but these random stomach rumblings have started and I can't get them to stop! They're on and off all day long! they seem to be...

I'm sorry to hear that about your mom. I hope she has a very quick recovery.

when you have a flare, how long does it typically last? do you take meds to help with the flare?

How many people here can tolerate caffeine? I would like to try some vegan chocolates but am not sure how I might react to the caffeine.

I'm coming down with a cold (mostly sinus-related) and I know we have to be careful with what types of meds we take, is there anything I can take for this cold? I feel terrible. I take tylenol for the headache but that only does so much.
