Glad you were able to eat the banana with no problems and I hope nothing bad developed overnight.

Well, the banana didn't work,either. I'm right back bloated and apparently blocked, again. I'll try something else, today, maybe some jello, even though I don't like the ingredient list.
Sigh,
Love,

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.
Wayne - can you get a rx for Entocort? I was sort of in the same boat you're in now back in August and I got a script for Entocort and it did help. I went to the ER just to make sure I wasn't dehydrated and they did give me an IV. I assumed it was glucose and even if it was from corn it wouldn't effect me that way since it went right into the blood stream and not through the gut.

Hi Melissa,
I doubt that I could get a Rx for Entocort, since I don't have an official diagosis of any disease for which Entocort would be suitable. Also, even if I went through all the tests again, I doubt that I would get a valid diagnosis at this point, either, since I have been GF for over 3 years, now, and most of the damage to my gut should be healed. Any current inflammation would probably not be consistent with with the symptoms of MC, since it would not be in the chronic catagory. Besides, it takes so long to go through all those tests, that I would probably starve to death before then, (or some complication would do me in).
The IV feeding raises a question in my mind, as to whether or not IV feeding is completely decoupled from normal digestive system operation. IOW, is the transfer of nutrients from the GI tract into the bloodstream, strictly a one-way operation, or would there be some transfer of fluids and particulates going both ways, especially with the reality of leakey gut syndrome.
A major problem that I'm having, is that I have absolutely no appetite, nor any desire to eat, (especially since everytime I try to eat, I just bloat some more, and the pain increases). Sigh.
Still, I'll have to do something, eventually. I can't carry on like this forever, (I certainly wouldn't want to try, anyway).
Thanks,
Wayne
