MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Thank you! That's very interesting.

Thanks for the replies and advice Mary Beth and Tex. I've had Vit D levels checked before and they've been 20-30. I've taken the 50,000 units weekly before and it's really helped with muscle weakness. At the moment I'm taking D drops and playing it by ear, as I feel like it's probably low again.

Hi Everyone,

I took Entocort last Spring and it worked really well. I've been feeling pretty good since then except that I seem to have fallen into a pattern of feeling horrible every winter, especially when I come back from my annual trip to see my family, and it either seems to take a month or ...

Hi Tex,

Antibodies to yeast in celiac and IBD do seem to go away. For example:

My thinking was that casein and soy would probably behave the same way when the leaky gut is healed, assuming that the intolerance to them is caused by the gluten-induced ...

Thank you for the replies, everyone.

Stanz, my C. diff test just came back negative. I'll look into the things you suggest though.

Teagirl, my painful bereavement was just as you described. I'm nowhere near getting over it although it's been more than 2 months now, but I really think my recent ...

Hi Everyone,

After such great welcomes, I went away thinking myself completely cured. Cured by colonoscopy! It was really strange, but when the bowel prep diarrhoea went away so did my normal diarrhoea. I had a bit of a relapse a few months later, with D about 20 times a day at it's worst, and I ...

Thank you Barbara! It's lovely to meet you.

Hi Everyone,

Thank you so much for all the welcomes. It is wonderful to find people who understand this.

Tex, I'd noticed the lettuce problem. You are not in any way wasting my time! Thank you so much for the help.

The SCD is perfect for this condition I think, except perhaps that it allows ...

Hi Courtney,
I'm new too. This is a very welcoming place isn't it? I'm glad we found it. Welcome from me too!
Best wishes,

Hi Joan,

Thanks for the welcome.

I should say I'm here as a person who is experiencing the joys of this condition. I know nothing professionally. This is completely not my specialty. I only mentioned medical training in the way of saying it really hasn't been much help. I'm in the same boat.

I ...

Hi Everyone,

I've arrived backwards.

I've just been diagnosed with collagenous colitis. I've thought I had CD and been gluten free for more than 3 years. I was fine with self-diagnosis/ Enterolab except for periods of intractable diarrhea which I couldn't fix by being gluten-free. I did fix ...
