I'm a newbie

[Robin519]

HI! I would like to introduce myself. My name is Robin and I was diagnosed about a year ago with MC. I was put on an anti-inflamatory drug called Apriso (anyone else taking this? I didn't see it listed in the newbie topics.) I also took Endocort for about 2 months. I went gluten free after looking on line and doing some reading and have been GF for about a year now. With this regiment I went from spending the first 6 hours of my day in the bathroom to feeling like it was manageable only having to be in the house for the first hour or so. However, I have not had a normal BM ("norman?") in about 5 years.It's always loose and explosive. Prior to the MC diagnosis, I had C-Diff 5 years ago. That was horrendous and probably contributed to the MC. I was lucky that the vancomycin antibiotic worked and I have not had a recurrence of the C-Diff to date. I also have diverticulitis so it makes my eating choices even harder.

I stumbled upon this website tonight and wish I had found it earlier. I seem to be having a relapse with much worse diarrhea
and was trying to figure out how to manage my MC through diet. I look forward to having a support group and learning from those who have been successful with a change in diet. :)
