Quite a few of us here, myself included, have alternating D and C, rather than continuous D. For most of us, even if it's cyclic with C or Normans, most of the trips to the bathroom occur first thing in the morning, and they're less frequent during the afternoons and evenings. That's because motility in the digestive system slows down when we slow down, during the night, especially when we're sleeping, and as soon as we awake and become active, that stimulates an increase in the motility rate. And, we all have a somewhat unique pattern, based on our lifestyle and our habits. Of course, MC modifies that pattern somewhat, (sometimes drastically) but some sort of basic pattern will still be the rule, in most cases.
Watch any cow, lying in the shade of a tree, leisurely chewing her cud. As soon as she rises, to start grazing again, she will have a BM.

Have you ever had your cortisol levels checked (at various times during the day and evening)? Your adrenals may be out of sync, and your cortisol level is peaking in the evening, instead of in the morning.

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.
No. But I was told 2 weeks ago I have low T. And the drs. want to start me on TRTtex wrote:Have you ever had your cortisol levels checked (at various times during the day and evening)? Your adrenals may be out of sync, and your cortisol level is peaking in the evening, instead of in the morning.

Went and seen my GI today. He is having me do a prometheus test. He is keeping me on lialda for now. He is really against giving presidone(sp). He says it is the last option. I told him I was going to take the entrolab tests, I was surprised, he actually knew what it was. He wasn't positive or negative about it. But he did understand food sensitivities. He said the best thing is to keep a food diary and take stuff out for awhile then add it back in. Compared to my other GI dr., it was a good visit.
If he understands food sensitivities in connection with MC, that's very encouraging. I agree — it was a good visit.
