MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Hey everyone I am just looking to get some input about how you all handle life, work and family whilst having MC.

I ask because as you may know I got my tubal ligation almost a month ago and have been fighting a UTI since then. Depending on the culture results I may have to be referred to a ...

So glad you had a great trip! I know how uneasy it can make us with MC feel when we go on trips. I'd call that a success!

I too just got diagnosed with another UTI as well. I just finished my antibiotics a little over a week ago and was feeling fine until I woke up this morning in extreme pain and blood in my urine. A trip to the ER confirmed what I already knew and now I am too on Bactrim. S Boulardi is suggested ...

Hi Innes :) I too am a young woman with MC. I was 21 when I got my diagnosis a little over a year ago. From my understanding when first diagnosed I was also under the impression that it was only people who were 50+ years old who got diagnosed with MC. However like Tex said doctors can be clueless ...

Thank you for the quick responses everyone. Per Tex's and Zizzle's advice I have purchased D-Mannose from my local vitamin store. I have taken two doses so far and am crossing my fingers. I did start the Macrobid last night because I do not want the infection to get out of control. I have had two ...

Ok, so a little background story... I got my tubes tied this past Thursday the 17th. They gave me Tylenol 3 with Codeine for pain management. I went home same day and slept most of the day. Turns out that medicine makes me sick to my stomach so I stopped taking it.
Friday night I woke up in so much ...

Hello everyone, I hope you are all doing well :pigtail:
I have some questions regarding my upcoming Tubal Ligation on Thursday the 17th....
I'm having the surgery for the obvious reasons but I just wanted to check in with all of you and see if there's anything I should know/avoid before going in ...

I too have a large forehead and have had bangs since middle school! How interesting ...

I have had gum grafts done. Two different ones, two different times actually. I had gum recession on the top and the bottom and therefore had to have two different procedures done as they typically only want to do one side at a time. I consulted on here before I had it done to see if there was ...

Hi all :smile: I have a few questions regarding allergy medicines that are safe for us w MC.
I suffer from very bad seasonal allergies and here in the Midwest they are in full swing. So I'm just wondering what my safest and best options are this year?

I currently have the Walmart brand "Equate ...

@Leah, now that you mention it I believe that it is a 'tapering' amount of birth control. The first week being the highest dosage and then slowly lowering through the next few weeks until the withdrawal bleed is allowed to happen. I hadn't even thought about that possibility since its been so many ...

Hi everyone, I hope you are all doing well :grin:

I am back yet again as I have a few questions... Since mid-late October I have been doing extremely well . I am still on 1 Entocort pill every other day and one dose (2 pills) of Pepto before bed, but haven't minded as I have been doing that ...

Thank you Tex for your response and thank you else for your responses also.
I got the lab results back this morning and everything came back normal including the test for Celiac. So I am grateful for that. I completely agree about it possibly being another food intolerance/allergy. Right now I plan ...

Thanks for the responses guys. I feel like this is the only place I can get accurate answers as Drs seem to be at a loss over anything that involves stomach problems.
I have considered that milk may be a culprit. I just hate to cut out so many food choices for him such as dairy, soy, eggs on top of ...

Hey everyone, I haven't been on in awhile as I have been managing my symptoms with diet and once a week Entocort. But my son who is 4, has developed some concerning symptoms.

The last month he has been complaining of stomach ache. At first I wrote it off, thinking he ate too much junk or just ...
