Thanks, good buddies for sharing in my success. Of course, it goes with saying that I never could have done it without all of the advice, info, support, and encouragement from this board. I mean that from the bottom of my heart. And I can't wait to hear more of your success stories.......... :grin:

Love and gratitude,

Polly

Dear Polly,

Congrats on such wonderful news. I have always known the body has an amazing ability to heal under the right circumstances. You are living proof of that.

Polly, what wonderful news! This is wonderful for you and for all of us. Hope is such an essential part of healing for all of us and you have given us a huge dose. I am so grateful for all you pioneers on this site who have hung in there and laid a foundation for those of us who have followed. What in the world would we do without you? This board has been an answer to so many prayers. Thank you again for the immeasurable contribution you, Tex, and so many others have made to my personal healing. Love JoAnn

Wow, Polly, this is truly encouraging news, almost makes me look forward to a second colonoscopy since I've changed my diet.

Hi Polly, a bit late my reaction, anyway, so great your MC is gone!! I am so happy for you. And what proof more can we ask for to see the diet is working!!! Really Polly, you have done an excellent job, finding out all the food intolerances by yourself and so great you and tex and others started this board so we also now have the benefit of your detective work.

Thank you so much and so great you are MC free now :fireworks:

Well, I just returned from my "pre-procedure" visit - I am scheduled for my scope on 9/3 and the PA gave me all of the pertinent info - including the "NuLytely" scrip - looks yummy :roll:

I was hoping I could join Polly's club - but she (the PA) informed me no biopsies for MC would be taken if I am not having symptoms, unless a polyp is found...

She also said "MC usually resolves on its own, as yours seems to have, except for an unlucky few, but stress and other such factors play a large role in recovery" - uhh OK "Ms. Expert"! Anyways, I like the doc himself so much better, so I guess we can chat during the procedure - only thing is I'll be loopy as heck :lol:

Congratulations Polly! That is wonderful news and I agree with Tex and Gloria, I think you should make a suggestion to your doctor about publishing these findings.
