I have fallen
hello everyone, a few weeks ago I started to notice an amazing improvement with gluten-free diet and eliminating certain foods that I took the test in intolerance. The fact is that I have another bad one weeks time, I do not understand. Why think that could happen?

Hola Bea,
I'm sorry to hear that you have had a bad week. As the other members have said, MC is a very persistent disease, and more time is necessary to completely recover. You may have accidentally eaten something with a small amount of gluten. Even a tiny particle of gluten can make some of us sick.
Also, after we eliminate all traces of gluten from our diet, and our immune system begins to produce less and less gluten antibodies, sometimes our immune system will begin to detect other foods to which we are intolerant, and we will begin to react to them. Be sure that there is absolutely no gluten, dairy, or soy, in any of your food, or your medications, or toothpaste, or anything else that you put in your mouth, including postage stamps, and envelopes - the glue on postage stamps and envelope sealing flaps often contain gluten.
Recovery is not without setbacks. Usually, after the diet begins to take effect, we will be better, and then we will get sick again, then we will get better, and the cycle will repeat. We will have good weeks, and bad weeks, as the intestines heal. As time goes on, though, there will be more good weeks, and fewer bad weeks, and after enough time has passed, we will be in remission. It can take up to a year, or more, for the intestines to completely heal.
Please do not be discouraged. You are healing, and you will fell better and better, as time passes. MC is a very bad disease, and much time is required for a full recovery. Most of us go though the same process as we recover. You are making progress, and you will recover.
Please keep us updated on how you are doing.

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.
