MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Hello Guys I started a pretty significant flare back in early April. We were due to leave for a family vacation, so I caved and started taking budesonide. This was my second round on budesonide. It worked very quickly for me and was very effective. But I don't want to take it indefinitely as I was c...

Wait - they moved to Greece?? Wow!

Morning! I'm going to second what @threegen said! Thank you Tex for keeping this site up! I read it for several hours each week. There is a TON of information in here. It helps so much knowing that I am not alone in this illness. I am a fairly new member here, and was diagnosed last year. But I've h...

Thank you Gabes - that's exactly what I decided to do. I am avoiding the other triggers when I can. My flare has calmed down considerably. This happened right as I received a new prescription for Budesonide from my GI. So I decided to wait and not take the medication. We went on four day trip to vis...

Thank you for responding Tex. I think you are a treasure. Your knowledge and experience is so appreciated.

I admit I am feeling overwhelmed by all of this. I have a lot to think about.

Ah, but how long does it work? I've been having looser stools for a week or more now. I hope I am not going into a flare, but it is more than possible. That's why I want to go ahead with the Enterolab testing. If I do flare, I will definitely go back on the Budesonide, but this time I will also work...

Morning Tex! Thank you for the prompt reply! I have ordered them. I've been warning my husband about going gluten free. One of our DILs is already gluten free, so we are familiar with the concept. I admit the thought is daunting, but it is what it is. Again, I want to thank you for this board and al...

Hi Guys I was diagnosed with CC in June of 2023. My GI doc prescribed Budesonide for me at that time. I took 9 mg for 8 weeks, 6 mg for 2 weeks, and 3 mg for two weeks. Within two days of starting the meds, I was having completely normal bms. I finished this course on September 19th. It's been nearl...

Thank you Marcia! I've been reading, reading, reading. Lots of information in here!

I hope everyone has a good Thanksgiving.

Thank you Tex!

I am so grateful to have found this board. My name is Nan, and I'm 64 years old.
