MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Tex, that was pretty harsh, it kinda hurt my feelings.

you can't wait to jump back into the fires of hell.

It almost sounds as if you prefer to punish yourself, and live your life in misery.



Seriously, do you have a problem with feeling good?


No, I sure don't have a problem with feeling ...

What I personally don't understand, after being in remission for such a short time, you immediately run back to gluten. Personally I also don't understand the "gluten" treat every now and than. Why should you take the risk, since there is a whole world of gluten free replacements, from chocolate ...

When I was diagnosed, I questioned my doc about the gluten connection to MC. His response was, "gluten is not likely the problem." And then he said..."Oh, you'll be fine in a month, the D will stop and you most likely won't have any problems again." Well, it didn't take a month, it took 5.

I'm ...

That's the thing, the tiny urine output doesn't seem to be better when the D is under control, it doesn't seem to make any difference.

We sure do talk about number 2 alot, can we talk about number 1 too? LOL
I'm curious if anyone else with MC also has decreased urine output. It seems all the water I drink goes thru the bowels instead of the bladder.
I drink water all day long, and I'm amazed at how little output I have. Seriously ...

LOL Rich, that's a joke here at my house, I need "Dr. House." LOL He'll most likely make me cry, but he'll get me squared away,lol

This product apparently helps with casein intolerance as well as gluten.

My mom called me a minute ago and told me about this product she heard about, it's called GlutenEase, here is the website, do you think it's worth investigating?

The doctor prescribed the elavil to me yesterday at my appointment. Got the script filled and was reading the paper insert that comes with it, and it said "do not take if you have hyperthyroidism." Well, I have graves disease which is hyperthyroidism. So I called my thryoid doctor and he said not to ...

I made it to my doc appt today, I made a huge dufus of myself and cried thru the whole appointment. The depression is pretty bad. You all know that I went off the ssri's due to the connection of ssri's and MC. The doctor was going to write me another prescription for another ssri, but I told her ...

Thank you all, everyone is so helpful here.

Can you tell me more about the anti yeast diet? Maybe give me an example of what you ate. I can't have seafood/fish because of the iodine and graves disease. Is it basically just meats and veggies?

Thanks Tex, I'm almost afraid to ask what side effects the flagyl will cause? I seem to be snowballing with one thing after another, and meds causing other side effects.

January 3rd I had to have a tooth pulled due to a bone pocket infection. I promptly developed a secondary infection at the extraction site and then I developed thrush, I have never had thrush in my life and had to take cipro for a week, and I'm still on nystatin for the thrush that just won't go ...

Thanks Tex, I can set that worry aside :) I got enough to worry about,lol

I was just doing more reading and research and found this statement about microscopic colitis.

There have also been reports of an association between collagenous colitis and lymphoma.

I have never seen this statement before about that association, does anyone know anything more about that?
