MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

I also was recently diagnosed with gastritis, after being diagnosed with cc 6 years ago. I have been unable to reach remission in those 6 years, the gastritis may or may not have been there the entire time since there is no way to tell, I am currently wating on the biopsy results so we will see what...

I have been diagnosed with collagenous colitis for 6 years now, have been on every diet, and taken every med you can possible think of with no relief. besides the D I also always had nauseau everyday and a burning feeling right below my sternum, gi docs finally did an upper egd and i find out that I...

My 5 year old has been suffering from bouts of D off and on her entire life since birth. And after the D clears up her stool would be pale white. They just did an upper and lower on her, the two things they did find is that she is low in the enzymes that break down lactose, and also starch. I have c...

gloria you are exactly right I have been on enotocort 9 mg a day for over a year now and still having problems. I think my GI was even shocked to see that I am still having issues which is why he ordered that last colonoscopy just to make for sure, because I should have responded to the medication e...

ok so from the things that i have read since I have went gluten free fo several months that should have been enough time to determine wether im not gluten sensitive however if I have more than one, it would be indeterminate. So if I want to try this again exactly what should I avoid and for say how ...

My doctor though a little hazy after waking up from the colonoscopy said said something about celiac testing, even though I have already taken the blood test which came up negative. My question is this, what if they did an upper and looked at my small intestines, and they did the biopsy would it con...

to be quite frank i am just worn out I have been dieting and taking god knows how many different drugs all of which none seem to work or help some even made me worse. I think that I am just at wits end mentally with this battle. It has been 7 years of torment. Everytime I try something new I see tha...

well I get a call from the GI nurse today and she says well you do have collagenous colitis, so I take that as still showing problems on the latest colonoscopy, I have an appointment scheduled for the 30th of this month Im sure to discuss the treatment of immuran. Im not quite sure what to do in thi...

It has gotten better but still no resolve, I have since quit seeing that pcp due to the lack of his trying to understand what was going on with me, I am going to see an old doctor I used to see before all of this and she was always concerned in my blood labs, and checked them quite frequently becaus...

my first colonoscopy was done about 5 years ago and the gi doc i had then told me I had enteritis colitis, he told me to take entocort for 6 weeks it would go away and I would be fine, I never was fine however I lost my insurance and quit seeing that doctor after having every physician tell me that ...

Sorry I haven't posted in a while but these last 6 months have been pretty rough on me, with having two children 7 and under and not feeling up to par. I just had my 3rd colonoscopy last week however something bizarre happened to me during the prep. I was asleep at like 3-4 in the morning when I wok...

My test results just came back and showed that my TSH level is .18 showing hyper, and my Glucose was elevated at 118. Went today to do another lab testing my TS3 and some other sugar test. So does this mean that I have hyperthyroidism or do I need to know what the TS3 levels are? anyone know somethi...

My prolactin levels are normal however my TSH level is .18 and my glucose showed high so does this mean that I am definitely hyperthyroidism? Just went and did more labs today to check TS3 level and some other test to check the sugar levels when the nurse told me about the thyroid level showing hype...

i have tried gluten free no change in symptoms so I put that back in my diet, However certain vegetables I can't tolerate like green peppers, red peppers, and lettuce of course think that is almost everyone. I have also noticed meats almost all red meat I can't eat I stick with chicken and pork. Not...

so far no results waiting on blood labs still, the GI doc said that it can't be the entocort because if it was building up in the blood I would have gained wait, Im down about 4 lbs over the last 2 months also. Hope it nothing too bad. however since I am still having bouts of D they put me on a sche...
