Weight Loss without Diarrhea

Post by Freddi05 »

I have been diagnosed with CC. I am having normal bowel movements at this time but still losing weight. Is this still possible without the diarrhea? Thanks

Unfortunately, just about anything is possible with CC, because the disease can cause just about any organ in the body to be inflamed. The inflammation in the intestines limits our ability to absorb nutrients from our food, and that can certainly cause weight loss, despite The absence of diarrhea. Once the inflammation is controlled, your intestines should begin to heal, and normal digestion (with normal ability to absorb nutrients from food) should slowly return, and your weight loss should be reversed.

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.
