MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Thank you Tex for the info on Customs (I hadn't thought about that) and I hope that you are much better. Hi Polly, The next lot of drugs the GI mentioned are Azothiaprine or Asacol/Pentas. I did mention to him that I had gone on a GF diet (didn't mention DF - too scared!) and he responded well sayin...

Hi Dee I was very interested in your explanation as to how Entocort is released in the bowel and not into the bloodstream so much. It makes me happier about taking it, though it doesn't seem to be having much effect at the moment. My specialist did tell me that for every 500 patients he has with Ulc...

Well folks, I saw the specialist yesterday and he is repeating the course of Entocort 9mg a day for 4 weeks 6mg for 4 weeks and 3mg for 4 weeks in the hope that it will calm things down again.

Thank you all for your suggestions and time. I will keep you posted on progress. After reading through all the messages (including my own...

Than you Polly, you sound lovely and have given me much hope. I have just checked out the websites you suggested and found them very interesting. My specialist has prescribed colestyramine which I hope will take effect soon (I've only been taking the sachets 4 days and things seem to be slowing down...

Thank you so much for your comments, I didn't expect such a quick response. I think I will initially try the food combining diet and try and read as much as possible.

After years of 'upset' I have been finally diagnosed with CC. They were looking for coeliac disease as my brother, nephew and great niece all have it. I have had a negative result on that by way of biopsy on the bowel and confirmation of CC. I have just finished a course of Entrecote (3 tabs for 4 w...
