MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Thank you for sharing! I lurk more than I post...You and others have helped me tremendously with getting my MC under control. I don’t know how many of you have juggled work, family and this illness. Gabes, I like what you wrote about your acceptance journey and “it being as good as it gets.”

We are in crab season here in California and I am curious if it’s fairly safe to eat. I’m not in complete remission but I also am not currently in a flare. I’ve been controlling my LC with diet.

Thanks Tex and Brandy. Your help is greatly appreciated! I'm back to the elimination diet and Gabe's Stage 1 plan. I'll probably get the Enterolabs test after I have some home improvement (roof & painting) completed. Fortunately, the flare is a mild one.

I wasn't so lucky after all. The remission lasted exactly one week and now the D has returned. I've kept a food diary and didn't eat anything different. I have been eating eggs, gluten and soy as they didn't trigger my symptoms during my week of remission and I hadn't yet cut them out of my diet ...

Hello, I was just diagnosed last Friday and am very thankful for this forum! I have read numerous threads and have gained much info, encouragement and insight. My WD started exactly on 4/22 and I initially thought that it was from food poisoning or using well water while camping, especially as my SO ...
