MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Thank you for ur support guys. I know no one on here means any harm. But with people like me that have high anxiety, I am very sensitive and some comments really bothered me and made me feel worse. U guys are all so knowledgeable, but u gotta give dummies like me a chance...lol

I thank everyone for trying to help on this board. Like I said before, my slides were rechecked and docs have said I do not have MC. The Xifaxan seems to have worked so it could have been SIBO. My anxiety is horrible and I am trying to get on on new meds. Thanks everyone for all your help. Its not t...

Hello everyone: My friend got her colonoscopy results a few weeks ago. Colonic mucosa with focal chronic and subacute inflammation present in the lamina propria, nonspecific. R/O Miscroscopic Colitis. Does this sound right. Doc says she has a functional bowel disorder IBS, and will be doing an Endos...

Sorry Endoscopy is what I mean. So many terms...lol

Can someone tell me of which of these :bloodwork,upper gi, or enterolab are best for testing for celiac or gluten intolerance

The two colonscopies were done at two different hospitals by different doctors.

I have been to 3 GI's, I posted on here for support and feel like im getting grief.

I should have been more specific. The GI met with the pathologist and went over the slides from 2 colonoscopies. There was slight inflamation at first which could have been gastritis so they say, but because the medication and diet had not worked for 5 to 6 months, he wants to try the new medication...

It has been proven it helps with functional bowels

Trying a new med today. Xifaxin. My GI in Boston called me today and looked at my colonoscopy slides from November and then February and says there is slight inflamation but no MC anymore. I do have functional bowels he says and wants me to try Xifaxin. Lets see what happens.

I don't know if I've asked before, but does everyone get bad aches and pains. Especially muscle aches. And if so do u exercise, take medication.

funny thing is my gynecologist ordered the food tolerance kit for me not my gi

I tried lialda last week ya and it came out whole, well mushy the next day. I don't think it should have been that way and it made me vomit and I ended up in the er, so I went back to the sulfasalazine.

On sulfasalazine 500mg three times a day. Tried imodium for the first time the other day and I think it worked. Im still hurting with muscle pain, but I guess that's part of it. Diet wise im trying different things until I get my food tolerance kit. Going back up to boston this week to a MC speciali...
