Re: Some Thoughts On Treating Microscopic Colitis

Still in the bathroom manning the throne, reading random threads… nice to see such enthusiasm about trying to help MC with dietary modification, and it’s really nice to read when it is helping ☺️ I’ve had steroid infusions (when the bowels are so bad they won’t absorb pills), been on micophenolate m...

Re: I Wonder How Many Of Us Have A Sleep Disorder

PS: I have neurological injury and complex neurological degenerative processes in play in addition to LC (which I’ve probably had since I was a child, back and forth from flare to remission over the years), which has resulted in the need for a non-invasive ventilator to support a non-death state whi...

Re: I Wonder How Many Of Us Have A Sleep Disorder

It’s been a long while since a post has happened on this thread, so I’m not sure if it’s anything that anyone is remotely interested in anymore…hmm.. Anyway, it was interesting to read the comments associated with this poll, as there was a wide variety of views. There are lots of different types of ...

Re: Biologics (Entyvio) used as Treatment for CC?

Hi antares, I’m kinda new here, and so I hope you don’t mind me asking how you’re going with the Entyvio infusions to date..? I’m currently on Budesonide which hasn’t been very effective (it’s only slightly reduced symptoms after 7 months on full dose), and mesalamine and cholestyramine were ineffec...

Re: Suggested Eating Plan - Stage ONE

Hi there Tex, Just want to say the time and effort you’ve put in to your very kind and generous reply is greatly appreciated; thank you kindly 🙏🏻☺️ My diaphragm is weak because I have dislocated and damaged my neck at C3,4, & 5, in the past, so this is what affects my diaphragm in particular (da...

Re: Suggested Eating Plan - Stage ONE

ThanksTex, super helpful stuff 🙏🏻☺️ I haven’t eaten out/eaten take away for years, and I live alone (also for many years) so helping to eliminate a couple of those sources. I wash everything that comes into the house, including each food item, so I’m hoping it’s not that. I haven’t been able to sour...

Re: Suggested Eating Plan - Stage ONE

Very interesting regarding AN PEP 👍🏻 I wash all the veggies, the meat is only meat (not commercially coated/marinated/crumbed), and the goats milk is 100% goats milk. On the rare occasion I eat rice, I rinse it first before cooking. Besides that I only buy an oil to cook with, and singular products ...

Re: Suggested Eating Plan - Stage ONE

This stage one eating plan is very informative and I’m very thankful for the efforts that have contributed to the plan itself, the links, and the comments ☺️ I’ve got a strong celiac problem in my family; many direct relatives get very sick if they eat gluten (and some if they smell it or touch it w...

Re: Oops, sorry - um, do you have a toilet..?

Hey there Marcia K and tex, thanks for the messages. It certainly had been quite the experience these last few decades…may as well have a dry sense of humour when dealing with the opposite kind of bowel 😉 I’m looking forward to reading more posts regarding how people have managed with the least amou...

Oops, sorry - um, do you have a toilet..?

Hello there everyone, Firstly, thanks for a very practical and informative-in-the-useful-sense forum! I have just registered, and very happy to have found this community. I have LC, relatively recently diagnosed, which I believe has plagued me for much of my life due to the bowel symptoms I’ve had o...
