Hi, there! I was here about 5 years age when first dx'd. All was well after a course of budesonide and giving up gluten etc. well now, can you guess why I'm back? Back on the pills about 1 week and really impatient for this to be resolved so...ate some raw vegs last night like a fool. Am paying the price and here for the tips and straight talk! Must get it through my head that this is a real problem I need to deal with! Anyway, hello again to all. Courage!
Love, Suzanne
Sorry to hear that your remission has been so rudely interrupted. Most of us have discovered that when we find ourselves back in a serious flare, we have to go back to whatever routine allowed us to reach remission initially, because as you've found, flares can be mighty tough to break. Also, consider that some of us develop new food sensitivities over the years. For example, about seven or eight years after I reached remission initially, one day after I ate a bunch of peanuts I developed ileus (my digestive system completely stopped). After about half a day, the constipated feeling prompted me to go to the emergency department at the local hospital, where the team there confirmed that I had ileus, but couldn't offer any suggestions for getting my digestion started again. Fortunately, my digestive system restarted in a few hours on its own. I ordered an EnteroLab test kit, and sure enough, I had become sensitive to soy.if you can't track down the problem by trial and error, keeping a log book of your meals and your reactions, you may need to order some Enterolab stool tests to locate the problem.
Love,
Tex
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.
