MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

I'm off to Seattle with a little trip planned to Vancouver while I'm there. My sister and her family live in Seattle.
I'm a little bit excited to finally have some definitive answers on the food sensitivity front.

Linda - I agree!! And maybe Enterolab can do a group discount for us Aussies :) :lol ...

Many thanks Tex,

That is such a relief to know...I've been wanting to get these tests done for years. I will double check with the labs just to be on the safe side.
Good to know about the medications affecting test results...I'll hold off on starting any meds leading up to it so there are no ...

Hello fellow MCers,

I'm heading off to the US in a month for a holiday to visit family. I live in Australia and we don't have Enterolab testing here so thought I'd take advantage of having access to it when I'm in the US. I plan on doing the A1, C1 panel testing.

However, there may be a ...

Hi Gabes & Linda -
No I haven't tried Questran. In fact, it has never been offered to me. I really need to fire my Gastroenterologist. He's stuck on Prednisone, Sulphasalazine and Mesalazine as the ONLY treatment options. Apart from high dose prednisone, the other treatments haven't helped. I put ...

Hi Linda,

I'm glad to read the Budesonide is sitting with you well now and continues to do so.

I am also an Aussie and am very keen to try it. Unfortunately trying to identify foods that I am intolerant to has been a very long process and I don't feel I am close at all. While I continue to do ...

That has helped incredibly. I will certainly be looking into the low inflammation gut healing protocol with my natural therapist. Thank you for sharing your personal experiences. That's great to read that you are mostly symptom free with MC and have discovered the root cause for your health issues ...

Thank so much for your (speedy) reply :) I'm very grateful to have your advice on this.
I'm very pleased to read that we can access Enterolab from here! I'll look into it more as it would be great to have definitive results....there are a few foods that I sway back and forth with.

It does suck ...

Hi there, I was wondering if I can ask for some advice here from those who have had some progression with their condition. Over the last 18 months, I have been trying to identify foods that I have am sensitive to. I'm based in Australia so unfortunately we can't get access to any allergy-testing ...

Hi Tex,

Thank you so much for all that valuable information. It makes SO much sense to me. And it got me investigating into my own medical history. Over the past 10 days I have gone through all of my medical records that I have received and yes, I do have an IgA deficiency - tested 19years ago! So ...

Hello -

I was diagnosed with collagenous colitis as well as collagenous gastritis 19yrs ago. (I'm 39yrs old). I have tried most of the conventional treatments for CC/MC without success over the ...
