MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Hello -

i haven't written in a while. I have been seeing a nutritionist for the past six months or so. Been through various tests - re did the stool tests, blood work etc. He had put me on glutaloemine, which I was taking every night. About a teaspoon in any cool drink. I am also taking a ...

Gabes,

That is how I feel. I was so sick after that colonoscopy and I didn't feel as bad as I do now. I can't imagine, being under 95 pounds and having another one of these tests, when I already feel so sick and weak. I really don't know what to do at this point. Everything I'm reading, points to ...

So in your opinion, should I go through another colonoscopy? I was so sick after the last one. This is so frustrating. These doctors put you through these tests and then the pathologists don't give enough information to give a definitive diagnosis. The other doctors that I have been seeing, all ...

Hi Tex,

The first findings that I typed out for you is the 'pathologist report' signed by the pathologist. Those are the only two reports I was given. And this is what I showed to all the gastro docs I have seen. Is this report not conclusive enough?

FINDINGS:

Anal Canal: Normal
Rectum: Second degree hemorrhoids
Sigmoid Colon: Normal
Descending: Normal
Splenic Flexure: Normal
Transverse Colon: Normal
Hepatic Flexure: Normal
Ascending Colon: Normal
Cecum: Diminutive Polyp of size 3 mm, Polypectomy done using biopsy forceps
Heocecal Valve: Normal ...

Hello -

I'm sorry if some of you misunderstood - I have only had one colonoscopy but have seen 5 gastro docs.

Tex - Here is the diagnosis - I am typing it out for you as my scanner is broke - :(

FINAL MICROSCOPIC DIAGNOSIS
A. Colon, Cecum, Polyp:
-LYMPHOCYTIC COLITIS PATTERN OF INJURY. See ...

Tex,

I will send it to you -

Tex,

What about the other test - the camera swallowing test?

Would you suggest I see another gastro? lol - I know it's crazy, (the next one would be my 6th try!) but this one left me a bit uneasy. The funny thing is that she would not give me anything in the meantime - (the colonoscopy was ...

Hello everyone -

I'm still struggling and have now gone to a 5th gastro doctor to see what their opinion may be. I was wondering if anyone else had a similar experience as I did with this latest visit.

Every doctor that has read my colonoscopy report, questions the diagnosis of LC because they all ...

I totally understand what you are saying. I too, have undergone the Enterolab tests and have been following a strict diet for almost a year now with no relief whatsoever. I eat basic foods that are supposed to be my safe foods and still having major issues. I can eat the exact same foods from one ...

Hi Dorothy,

You had answered me on my last post - I feel for you. I understand totally what you're saying. You feel as though you are doing everything right and then Wham! You get sick again. I was just telling my husband that I must be one of the healthiest eaters on the planet, but something ...

I want to thank you all, so so much for your advice. It means alot to me.

I do try to eat extra calories, but it seems that the more I eat, the more I poop! I will work on eliminating the bread and sugar and try to eat more snacks. I am going to try another doc - (just for fun?!) and let you know ...

I've actually been drinking decaffeinated tea = if that makes a difference.

Tex, I wanted to ask you - would you say that corn tortillas would be okay in place of the bread? Yes I can eat pork and I am going to try the lamb - that is one of my safe foods as well.

I'm just at a loss as to what to ...

Thank you all so much for your responses.

I had tried the cholestyramine but it did not have any effect on me. I also took Uceris with no improvement = however, I'm wondering if it's because of my diet. My problem is that I am scared to lose any more weight. I have already been told that I am ...

Thank you Tex for your response!

I stopped taking vitamin D - right now all I'm taking is my high blood pressure medication. I have been adding sugar to my tea and occasionally eat gluten free muffins - I'm wondering if I need to eliminate all sugar at this point. My toothpaste is safe, as my ...
