Polls relevant to Microscopic Colitis, and related issues, can be posted here, to allow for the collection of data that might help to shed some light on this disease, and it's treatment options.
As suggested by Connie, it might be interesting to see if there is a correlation between endometriosis and MC, (possibly by means of a link with gluten-sensitivity).
Of course, technically, I can't have endometriosis, but during my last surgery, the surgeons discovered that my intestines were laced with numerous adhesions that had to be removed/repaired, or, as the operative report stated, in doctorspeak, my intestine required "mobilization".
Please respond to the poll with your best answer.
Thanks,

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
Well heck, I was kind of thinking about a trip to Oregon for Christmas.

Thanks for sharing those photos. I'll bet you have great sunrises and sunsets regularly, in your beatiful location. Here in TX, the sunrises and sunsets seem kind of bland these days, mostly because of the drought, I suppose.

My mom, who seems to be ground zero for all my problems (more on that in antother post...), had 3 massive fibroid tumors that resulted in total hysterectomy. I hear they are highly hereditary . I had a very small one ID'd in my last pregnancy, but luckily it didn't grow or cause any symptoms.
Yes, total hysterectomy at 32 yrs. of age because of it, then they also found a cyst on one ovary. Was also dx w/ a spastic colon at 17, if it was a correct dx.
You can't change the wind, but you can adjust the sails.
Yes, grade 4 endometriosis. My fallopian tubes were destroyed from it (worst case my pathologist had ever seen in her career). My entire insides have been found stuck together at least twice (three abdominal surgeries thus far). I've also been unable to get pregnant despite 10 IVF cycles and 30 embryos transferred. I've had fibroids and endometriomas as well. :-S
One ovarian cyst in my early twenties, with extreme pain (I had to sleep sitting up, and had several doctor visits) until it burst on its own. No unusual pain during cycles for most of my life outside of that incident, but increasing painful cycles as I age.
. I had a very small one ID'd in my last pregnancy, but luckily it didn't grow or cause any symptoms.
