MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

I use 2 different protein shakes. 1 I get from my doctor, it's a vegan meal replacement shake. Chocolate is the better flavor of the choices he has to offer. They are made by a company called Physician Nutrients. SF, DF, GF, Sugar Free, Non GMO.
The other is my back up in case the one I get from my ...

Right, but my Doc doesn't plan to leave me on the budesonide. That's just it, it's the doc changing me around and I want to stay on one thing. We went from the powder to the Balsalazide to the Budesonide. I don't like any of them but if I have to pick one I want to pick the right one. That's where ...

I'm not expecting a quick fix, that's why I'm concerned about the short budesonide regimen.

I don't want to stay on budesonide though so I was wondering what experienced MCer's thoughts are on going back to the balsalazide? I have no idea what to do. I am on the restricted diet, that's no big deal ...

Thanks Gail ... I quit potatoes years ago :neutral:

I used to love mashed potatoes and french fries but I don't see the health benefit from a potato so I don't eat them anymore. I eat them like 2-3 times a year on holidays or special occs. :smile:

Looks like I'm stuck with the jasmine rice lol ...

That's what I thought too Tex. Dang docs and their uninformed suggestions lol.

Jasmine is my husbands favorite and the one he fixes on the regular so that works better anyway.

Now I just need some flavoring lol

I like ....

Hello Everyone!

I am looking for sauces I can add to rice. I don't normally eat rice. I don't like rice. Since I seem to need to eat some I am looking for sauces I can add to it to make it more tolerable.
I'm not as concerned about the sugar as the rest of the ingredients. Must be gluten free ...

I'm in the same boat.

My doc has me on a quick wean of Budesonide - 2 weeks at 9 mg then 1 week at 6 then 1 week at 3mg then done. No way that's gonna suffice. :roll:

I really don't want to be on it though so I am considering trying to go back to the Balsalazide?

I just need to get into ...

I like the large print of the last one too but whatever the majority thinks. I'll probably just throw my card at someone anyway and run frantically thru the place in search of the restroom lol

They can follow me if need be!

I definitely want one and let me know how to send a donation - I am willing to help offset costs, not because I am rolling in money (which I am NOT) but because this is important to me. Tex, you are so awesome there are no words in my vocabulary to tell you how much your hard work means to me. A ...

Hi guys! Sorry I was MIA for a bit, baseball is in full swing here.

You are gonna love my latest story ....

So I go to an MD I use that is on the natural side which is more my thing. I tell him about my new diagnosis and that I can't do the fiber and what not and that I need to reduce my sugar ...

So this weekend wasn't much better than last weekend lol - lots more crying. Truth be told May is a tough month for me. I lost a friend a couple of years ago to Cystic Fibrosis and her birthday is this month and the CF walk and her brother is having a baby this month that is due on her birthday ...

Thanks for all the continued hard work on this Tex!

I think the thing that is the most stressful is being fearful that I won't make it to the bathroom.

I don't work a regular desk job...it's customer service oriented so I have to be available at a front desk type environment and if I'm missing a lot it's noticeable. Plus when I'm with a client I ...

Note that the design of this card is very different from the design of the previous cards that have been available for this purpose. I Named this a "Disability" card and referred to the Americans With Disabilities Act (because MC does qualify as a disability under the ADA).

So as much as ...
