MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Hi everyone, sorry for not been on lately, felt so crap.

I have finally been diagnosed with SIBO (Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth). The gastro bloke put me on a 7 day course of Amoxiclav antibiotics, well after 2 days I was on top form, my carer wondered what had happened to me :shock: I ...

Hi everyone,
Well something has gone wrong :roll: I've got a lot of gas and abdo pain, after been ok for a while. I think I know what's happened though. At the weekend I had a indian takeaway - prawn cocktail then rogan josh, big mistake! So I'm thinking it was the lemon segment in the cocktail or ...

Hi Tex, Hope you are well.

I didn't do a clean out, just had nothing to eat from 10pm the previous day (had exam at 11am) the next day, so nothing odd there as I often go a full day without eating. I have also noticed I always feel hungry now, basically I can't get full lol.

What I'm wondering is ...

Hi everyone hope you are all coping.

On the 1st of July I went to have the camera down, it all went well but still waiting to see the GI bloke (28th Aug). Since I had the procedure done I have calmed right down, no bloating, no gas, normal bm's. I am just wondering if it ias possible that the last ...

Hello everyone,
Hope you all keping well. I think I have found one main trigger for my mc, lemon flavoured foods, I have had a couple of lemon puff biscuits the other day within about a hour I had a urgent run to the loo. So last night I tried again, again same thing happened. I know that if I eat ...

Hi Tex,
You're so right, I think the doc's here are way behind the rest of the world.

I went to see the dietician and she has put me on a weight gain diet as I am now 11st 12lb, I should be 12st, she does not want me to lose any more as I will be putting my health at risk if I pick up any bugs etc ...

Hi everyone, hope you are as well as you can be.

I am getting tired and fed up of feeling so ill, it is making me depressed too. how do you cope when you feel down? I am sure that my doc's are trying to wear me down so that I will treat myself before they have to diagnose me and therfore be a extra ...

Well I went for my test, before you drink the glucose the reading supposed to be under 10 p.p.m. mine was 63 p.p.m.!!! that's after a 12 hour fast. They told me to rinse my mouth with water then checked me again after half a hour it had dropped to 43 p.p.m. So I have to go back at a later date to ...

Happy birthday Tex, have a good one

Hi,
Has anyone ever had a glucose hydrogen breath test? I have to have one done on the 18th June for some reason, I assume it is something to do with my bowels.

I have thought about getting tested for intolerances but my GP says they don't work and not worth the money

Hi everyone,

Thanks for the birthday wishes, hopefully its gonna be a good one. You are so right Tex, the GP's here don't care or should I say there hands are tied by the power above them. I understand that the NHS cannot afford to do things willy nilly but I think that genuine easy to spot cases ...

Hi everyone,
Hope you are all as well as you can be.

I need some advice from you more knowledgable members. It is my 50th birthday at the weekend, so some of my carers are taking me ouit for a meal (it won't be GF) on Saturday, then Sunday afternoon I am going out again for another meal, then on ...

Hi everyone,

I have been reading Tex's book, can't put it down :smile: And I have started to think about my own situation and the stress that I have had in the past.

In 1991 my mam had to have a aortic bypass done which eventually led to her losing one of her legs below knee, she was in hospital ...
