Dear Tex,
Thank you for this explanation. It looks very difficult to me to live with this problem. But you do, what I think is certainly the best option for all that comes on our path and that is to accept our impossibilities, adjust to it and make the best of it. I admire you for this attitude.
But it is indeed very interesting that your MC is not solved by this problem!!!!
Love Sonja

Re: reflux
Many years ago, we had a member in New Orleans whose sister was unable to resolve her symptoms, so her doctor talked her into having an Ileostomy in order to stop the diarrhea. Even though we warned her that it probably wouldn't resolve the MC symptoms, she decided to go through with the surgery, anyway. Afterward, her symptoms were even worse, and the last I heard from her, she was considering having the procedure reversed. Here's a link to a post that I made about 12 years ago, referring to that experience:

I believe you are exactly right, when you say that whenever we encounter a problem that we can't resolve, the best we can do is learn to live with it, and make the best of it. If we're unable to do that, it's impossible to resolve the stress that it causes, and that just makes our symptoms worse. As Gabes always says, we have to embrace it, or we'll never be happy.MC can be a very cruel disease, and it can drive people to do desperate things. It's a crying shame that medical science can't come up with at least one treatment, that will absolutely bring relief, in refractive cases.
Love,
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.
