MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Freaking out right now too... I'm with you, sister. I just got my diagnosis Tuesday and I'm still reeling from it.

Paralyzed nearly from the overwhelming feeling. With 2 teenage boys that will surely look at me with disdain, or fury rather, if I attempt to toss out all the food with gluten in the ...

All joking aside, this is actually quite horrifying, the changes that I will have to make. Forever. I guess I have to relate that horror to the horror of chronic diarrhea and migraine.

Hi, I'm Teri and I received my diagnosis yesterday. I don't know what I don't know about MC. So I'm reading, reading, reading... This place is a treasure trove of information so thank you for that.

I'm immunocompromised thanks to a short time on Embrel for my psoriatic arthritis and I never ...
