Tex,
Thanks for sharing your personal experience with tylenol. It's really my only option right now seeing as how I'm really trying to not make things worse, and I can't get in to see my GI dr until the end of September.
I don't drink so if I end up taking the max amount or a little more some days I won't worry too much.. I agree with you that it should be a well-thought out decision, but that some days where I need to be higher-functioning, its worth it. Usually I try and just suck it up, but some days it's too hard - there's no medal for being a hero in this situation.
I do hope that my pain decreases with progress on my elimination diet.

Jane,
You're very welcome. I didn't mention this in my post about Tylenol in this thread, but I've posted this information before, several times — many people claim that Tylenol does not work for them, and it didn't work for me either, unless I took it with food, or right after a meal or snack. Also, if I waited until the pain was already at an almost-unbearable level before I took it, I would get no significant benefit from it. In that situation, sometimes it would begin to help after I took a second dose (4 or 5 hours after the first dose). In order to get maximum benefit, I would take it as soon as the pain, headache, migraine, or whatever, reached a bothersome level — way before it got out of hand. The sooner I took it, the better it worked.
Good luck with your treatment program.

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.
