MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Happiest of birthdays to one of the best online communities in the world.

I simply couldn't imagine what quality of life I would have now if it weren't for all the wonderful folks here, especially Tex.

Thank you SO much! And, Happy Birthday!!

Love,

It is so very much an honor to meet all of you......and YES YES YES, I promise you that it can and will get better!

Even when things seem hopeless, keep moving forward.....no matter how slow, you are still making progress towards feeling better and healing your gut. When you are frustrated, lean on ...

Hello everyone!

Gosh, it's been forever since I have posted.....life has quickly spiraled out of control and before I knew it it's been a few years since I have checked in. I see some familiar faces along with a ton of new folks -- welcome! Sorry to hear you are suffering with MC, but believe me ...

Rosie,

Do you have a Trader Joe's nearby? That's where I buy my ham from. They have a nice spiral sliced ham that is only glazed with honey and spices, no gluten or soy. It's pricey per pound, but very tasty.

Good luck on your ham search!

I've seen this but haven't tried it yet....is it good? Does it have more fat/calories than say Almond Milk?

Well, I am both happy and sad to report that I too have noticed serious "brain fog" since my diagnosis.

Happy to know that I am not alone, but very sad that others have also experienced the same.....

In the early 90's I was a whizz-bang bank teller. I saw customers pulling into the parking lot and ...

Hi Tex,

Thanks for your encouraging kind words! MC does slow me down sometimes, but I refuse to let it stop me. Some may think I am stubborn or stupid, (LOL!) but I'll just keep on truckin' as best as I can.

You've put my mind at ease about the hysterectomy as well; at this point, I'll be glad to ...

Hiya Tex!

Gosh, it's good to hear from you! Thanks for all the helpful info, it's put my mind at ease.
I just got back from a round of x-rays, after calling my doc. Nothing is showing up, not yet anyway. The fact that they are rubbery-plastic would make it challenging to see them anyway. The ...

Morning Everyone!

Gosh, it seems like it's been forever since I have posted.....I certainly hope everyone is doing well!

I have the craziest question to ask, and I don't know who else to ask....so here goes:

Saturday night I believe I swallowed 2 plastic earplugs. Crazy, right? See, I sleep with ...

Aww...thanks Guys!!!

Guess I have been awol for a while....I still like to pop in and see how everyone is doing when time permits.....which hasn't been too often I guess!

Thanks much for remembering my b-day!!

Love,
Jill

Morning Harma & Tex,

Thank you both very much for the information......and that you especially Tex for describing why it hurts so much before having a bowel movement. It makes perfect sense.

Harma, thanks for the heads up on the GF stuff...I will give that a try. White rice is definitely a staple ...

Morning Tex!

Thanks so much for the informative reply.......we are all so lucky to benefit from your experience & wisdom!

Ok, to answer your questions....yes, since taking the Entocort I have had cramps on and off the entire time. I would say the severity is probably about the same as when this ...

Hey Everyone!

Since it's been a while since I've posted I thought I would check in. Hope everyone is doing A-ok! is

I've got a quick question-- I've been doing pretty good, down to 2 Entocort a day (vs. the three I was taking) and the diarrhea seems to be under pretty good control. I hope to ...

Print Print Print!

Thanks Tex, I will add this list to my other stash of MC information.

Much obliged!!!!!

Love,
Jill

Hi Tex,

WOW! That's quite an interesting scenario....to think I was worried about my Achilles, when I should be counting my lucky stars nothing worse happened.
Thanks for the education!

For future reference, considering I need the Advair for my asthma, what antibiotic should I be requesting in the ...
