MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Thanks for your helpful replies. Darn, I was hoping to add something new to the conversation with my comments about colicy babies and blood type O. I'm so impressed with the depth and breadth of knowledge and research on this site. Sue

Since Dec. 8th I've been on Lialda. The GI Dr. put me on at the end of our appt. and then left to find me samples. I didn't get clarity about his thinking.
