MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Hey everyone! It's been a Long time since I posted on here. I felt like it was important for me to do this as perhaps others looking for answers may find this useful. Although my situation will not always be the case for everyone, it could for maybe one person or two and that would be worth sharing!...

I finally had my appt in Birmingham. My fear of yet another doc that either doesn't know what he's doing or doesn't have time to listen to me was not the case at all. He spent 35 min. talking with me. Scary thing is after looking at my records/biopsy's/etc. he does not feel I have LC. He is testing ...

I am learning that there are other auto immune diseases which contribute to symptoms not related directly to MC or CC. But from my research it seems that if you are positive for MC (LC or CC) you are prone to other auto immune diseases. Can you concur Tex? It may be worth researching 'auto immune di...

Gloria, your husband being able to speak German will definitely come in handy. When I was in Europe traveling my husband spoke german and it helped. We found that even though English is spoken in many area's if they see you at least attempting their language they are more apt to open up in English a...

Just as Rosie said, I too had no idea of such an additive as inulin. I'm really getting hesitant about many foods. Coming to the forum has brought many things to my attention. I've ALWAYS loved my food!!!! Of course with DX of MC now I'm learning there are many I can no longer ingest. Still learning...

You're off to a good start. Post away Charlotte

Oh Mary Beth. Those are the best memories....little notes or letters. He obviously was having a good time but still thinking of you. Enjoy it now because in a few years he will become a "TEENAGER".....OH BOY! LOL He sounds like a sweet boy who loves his mamma.

Gabes that is so sweet of you. I am indeed less stressed. Still in the depths of a mess but handling things quite well. My hubby and I have our sense of humor back and that helps much! Things could be so much worse in life and now that we've gained perspective we are going to roll through this and c...

Do you know if they checked for mast cells when they took your biopsies? I suspect I have some sort of mast cell problem that was triggered by my vaccine.

I've heard talk before of this "mast cells" issue. What is this?????

Welcome Tanya. You have just found the best resource any of us could hope for here. I was lucky to find this place fairly soon after being DX with MC. All here has been very supportive and helpful. I know you will learn loads of helpful information here. I hope that you find some relief soon. Sounds...

Gloria! I'm so sorry. Well if things truly come in three I should be good to go for sometime. Let's hope they don't come in multiple of three's. I'm so glad that you and your family are all safe. I'm sorry that you are having to deal with all this. Life has a bizarre way of throwing stuff at us, doe...

I've had some sleep and feel more energized emotionally and physically. Hubby and I actually had a good laugh this morning out of all this. Of course you have to know that my family is jokingly blaming me for the septic issue. Comments like, "If you'd just stop pooping so much this wouldn't hap...

Quick post. EXHAUSTED! Had three of us four girls out today. My boss is having emergency back surgery so I've been selected to take over her job and maintain mine as well for the next minimum of 2 weeks. Second girl on vacation. Third girl was admitted to hospital this morning after showing up at wo...

Polly!!!!!Oh my goodness I'm so excited for you. I can only imagine how thrilled you must be! We are ALL so thrilled for you as well.

Donna, to ensure I'm not seeing the last doc you saw there that was not helpful......could you possibly email me his/her name? I would greatly appreciate it. Maybe I can be lucky enough to find a good one and recommend that person to you. Time will tell.
