Microscopic Colitis, Type 1 Diabetes, and Boop Pneumonia
Posted: Sat Apr 28, 2018 2:25 pm
Hi friends, this is my first time posting on this wonderful site. I am a Type 1 Diabetic, Microscopic Colitis, and had Boop Pneumonia. Diagnosed at age 40 with Type 1 Diabetes. I think I was born with Microscopic Colitis. Flares would appear with bloating, fatigue...but no diarrhea. I was diagnosed with BOOP Pneumonia in 2013. This is inflammation of the lungs. On X-Ray, your lungs are white, filled with inflammation. It's not contagious. In many cases it's fatal and Lung Specialists don't understand the disease or what causes it. They load you up on steroids. Not good for a diabetic.
When I look back at my life, I see a PATTERN! Everything is Auto-Immune and Inflammation. In Austin, TX, the GI Specialist diagnosed my diarrhea and fatigue as Pancreatic Enzyme Deficiency without doing a 72 hour fecal exam. I thought okay, since my father was a Type 1 diabetic and suffered from Pancreatic Enzyme Deficiency. I was put on enzymes but the diarrhea, bloating and fatigue came back two years later. I went to the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, FL, and the GI Specialist did a biopsy of my colon. I was diagnosed with Microscopic Colitis. The doctor wanted to put me on steroids or Pepto Bismol. I opted for the Pepto and he gave no time limit when to stop it. I developed balance problems and started falling down. Plus my diarrhea, fatigue, brain fog, bloating and gas returned. I quickly discontinued Pepto.
Discouraged, diarrhea, bloat, fatigue, brain fog and nausea made me frantic. I was sick and nauseated and went out to eat fish, green beans and a small amount of Baked Alaska, and I felt great afterwards. All my symptoms disappeared. I felt GREAT! I then realized this colitis is related to food intolerance. I started hunting for answers and found WAYNE PERSKY. I am reading his book on Microscopic Colitis with the Tree Cover. It's fantastic.
I would like to know if anyone else on here has Type 1 diabetes and MC. Information of any sort would surely help me. My husband had to call EMS last night because my blood sugar dropped and I was unresponsive. This is serious stuff and deadly.
Thanks, Dorothy Williams
