Hi Tex! Thanks for the quick reply! I wasn't eating casein at the time, and hadn't been eating it for a few months, so that couldn't have been the problem. And I don't experience the nausea and vomiting typical of gallbladder disease, so I guess it is just a fat malabsorption problem. I could do an experiment and only eat lean meat for a week, then start eating fatty meat again -- I wonder if I'd see a difference now that I'm out of the flare.

Thanks for the ideas and insight,
Ashley

I suppose it could be mostly a fat malabsorption problem, because if it isn't absorbed, it's probably fermented in the colon, which could presumably cause your symptoms. Experimenting might be worth a try.

Good luck,
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.
