MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Tex, After my first colonoscopy I was diagnosed with MC or LC after biopsies were taken and examined. Then I took Entocort for about 10 weeks. Then I did a second colonoscopy and the GI doctor says the Colitis is healed up but the biopsies from my colon still show abnormalities. They show that I hav...

Hello everyone, I'm still feeling bad and my GI doctor wanted to do another colonoscopy and upper GI Scope since I have him stumped and he wasn't the one to do the previous scopes. He said everything looked normal but took a lot of biopsies. He says the colitis is cleared up from the Entocort that I...

Hello everyone! I just finished reading David Dahlmn's book called "Why Doesn't My Doctor Know This? He gives a complete list of supplements that he thinks you should take and follow 4 major dietary rules to heal IBD. Just curious if anyone of you ever tried following this program? Any knowledg...

Tex,
It sounds like you've had a lot of health issues in your life. I can't believe how positive you remain. I hope some of that rubs off on me. Do you have a good support system around you.

Thank you!
I was going to ask for some example meals that you guys eat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Right now it is really hard because I have no appetite and am nauseated a lot so it is hard to put any thought to what I'm going to eat.

Robin, I have been nauseated, have not had an appetite, and of have lost 25lbs since my episode started 4 months ago. I take nausea medicine (zofran) It doesn't help that much. I force feed myself when the nausea isn't quite as bad and eat small meals or snacks throughout the day or else the nausea ...

Good! I'll just stop taking it then. Thanks for your input.

Thanks! My cortisol levels are already above the normal range and I didn't want to increase this. So do you think I'll be fine to just stop the 3 mg. even after just a couple of days? I have been faithful following a GF and DF diet. I know I'm not going to have total control over this yet but right ...

Hello, I've decided Entocort is not for me. I think it is causes side effects that I don't wish to have. I was on it 9 mg. for about 8 weeks. Then I went down to 6mg. for 2 weeks and now I went down to 3mg. for the last couple days. When can I stop completely and safely. It might be causing me a lit...

Hello everybody. I thought I'd let you know how things are going. Sunday I started not doing so well again. Just can't stop feeling nauseated and burning in my stomach. My D issues are still mostly in the morning. Monday I had extreme anxiety and my appetite started slipping again. I had to take Lor...

Wayne, I am currently in the same situation you are in! I am very frustrated with the doctors and I know I need to probably take matters in my own hands too but it is so difficult. I got sick in December and have been fighting to get well ever since. At times I give up and go down in to a deep dark ...

Hello all, I was DX with hiatal hernia. I don't experience burning in my chest though. I experience terrible burning in my stomach and upper stomach. I am on prilosec which doesn't help. Would the vinegar test work for me to?

GLJ

Polly, I just take the vitamin D twice a week for a couple of months and then once a week for another month I think? Are your vtiamin D levels low also? I keep getting this terrible burning in my stomach and upper abdomen. I am also very belchy. It makes me feel so sick. I had a terrible day today. ...

Polly, I ordered the book on-line. It is suppose to arrive Wed. or Thurs. I have been thrown on and so many meds through this mess that going back to the basics is what I think I need to do. Although the Remeron and Entocort I'll have to wean off and probably not simutaneously. I might try to go to ...

Charolette, It sounds like you are doing okay with what you are doing. I am on Endocort and not having as much luck as you are without. I haven't done the enterolab yet. I hope your results help you. I am a young mother of 3. Stress is what comes along with taking care of them. Luckily I have a mom ...
