MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Thanks for writing, Luce

With me, I still remember that movie. LOL I can't wait until the day comes when I say, it is hard to remember that part of my life. I am simply reading a lot of labels, and eating out very infrequently.
Best to you,
Deb

Interesting as always Tex,

I know that has to be the case with me.

Hi Lucy,

I don't really consult my PCP about anything. I think she is incompetent. I plan to pick a new PCP and Kaiser facility when I feel better. I could consult the GI who diagnosed the MC and told me to drink Pepto B. However, I am responding so well to the GF diet, I don't think I need him at ...

Hi Neighbor Kat,

Thanks so much for your kind words and encouragement.

You all have been so kind. This is a family!

Thanks again,
Deb

Hi Jodi,

Thanks for taking the time to write. "Ain't NO WAY" I am going back to my "stinking thinking" as you put it. Too many years of this nonsense, the recent sinus infection, the skin issues, the anemia, and on top of it the D. Ain't NO WAY!!! I went to a church reception today. I brought ...

Hi Joan,
I really don't particularly care for applesauce so there is no danger to that. I am finding that broiled chicken and broiled steak seem to be okay. I only use granulated garlic and Himalayan (non iodized) salt as seasoning. I really appreciate the book links. I will check them out.
You guys ...

Hi Kittyquartz,

Thanks so much for taking the time to write to me. I too am reading every single label even at health food stores when it says gluten free! Call me paranoid. I am taking tons of supplements for arthritis. They used to work. Then I go this trigger finger out of no where. I suspect ...

Hey Angy,
The bomb I need to drop in order to be underweight is 20 lbs. I love Irish potatoes so I will try it.

Amen sister
She will be toast after I get from her what I need.
A few things I like about Kaiser
1. I can change facilities and PCP
2. I can request tests and referrals
3. They have a lot of great health activities such as tai chi, meditation classes.
I will keep you posted,
Deb

Hi Angy,
I am already doing so much better. I go for skin biopsies tomorrow morning. I affirm that they are related to this disease. Skin is already healing on the diet. The words to describe my PCP are MFB+. And actually I have decided to find another Kaiser facility and MD. The one I currently am ...

Hi Angy,
Newbie Deb really appreciated your post. And I do so agree. I was allergic to wheat as a child (got a rash), now have a diagnosis of MC w/out CC. Too bad I did not eat a lot of the things that make me sick prior to the test. LOL I think I would prefer to simply eat NG and realize that some ...

Thanks so much for pointing that out. I will keep reminding myself of that and hopefully that will serve as motivation to stick with this.
Deb

Hi Jodibell,

If it makes you feel any better, everyone in Atlanta has the same thing. We are all on the dreaded antibiotics. It has rained nearly every day for 3 weeks. The weather in the day fluctuates from less than 40 to higher than 60.

Hope you feel better,
Deb

It is absolutely amazing that this drug is still on the market. I am so glad I stopped taking it.
Deb

Wow Tex!
You are like an encyclopedia. I did find your discussion fascinating. My best friend was diagnosed with crone's disease , 25 years ago. After the PCP told her she would die within 6 months, she found relief through alternative medicine, doing a lot of research, taking classes, and working ...
