hi all my favorite people! I am thinking of buying a juicer! i don't seem to digest veggies? the lettuce and tomatoes and such pass right through and i flush them away, maybe better investment in my organic veggie purchases to mush them so i digest some nutrients? my friend juices 3 times a week and feels amazingly healthy! any one have experience to share? prefer certain veggies to others? i feel like i need some greens (BTW....i am 3 weeks into GF and WOW! what a difference! There is a new book out called the G Free Diet by Elizabeth Hasselback and Dr Peter Green, quick easy read and very informative!)
HUGS~

HI Court,
I have definitely heard the "wonders" of juicing but I know with my MC that would go through me faster than a speeding bullet. In the raw form it still would be fast but juice no way. For you it might work but I seriously doubt that it would in this state of healing. However, what works for one just may not for another. See if you can juice at your friend's place a couple of times since juicers are a very expensive investment.
Sorry I could not be more positive to you on this.

Hi Court,
Unfortunately, most of us find that healthy eating has to wait until after most of the damage from MC heals, (which can take a year or two, depending on it's severity, and how long it has been accumulating). For someone with MC, the goal is to reach remission, just as quickly as possible, (in order to stop the symptoms, and minimize the intestinal damage), and unfortunately, just about all the dietary practices that are claimed to be "healthy", will either slow down, or prolong the healing process, and in some situations, they can stop the healing altogether. Grains, fiber, vegetables, fruit, etc., are all detrimental to the healing process, for most of us. After we reach remission, and some healing takes place, then we can usually reintroduce many of those foods back into our diet, but while we are reacting, we have to be very, very careful about what we eat, if we are to gain control of the disease, especially if we want to reach remission as soon as possible.

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.

Welcome, Court! 
The best foods for you to eat while your gut is healing are soft, mushy fruits without the skins, well-cooked vegetables and meats. The only whole grain I would recommend is white rice, cooked until it is mushy. Grain flours can be eaten, but cautiously, because many of us seem to be intolerant to some of them.
Nuts, lettuce, popcorn and other high-fiber foods irritate the colon and should be avoided until the gut is completely healed.
