MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Thanks Tex,
I just happen to find those two tests today and read about them. I'm assuming testing one would be enough, as they both test for inflammation. There are so many things that could cause it to show for me such as sinus, arthritis, the IBD, and who knows what else. I realize that if ...

Hi,
Just getting to see this post now. No, have not had any issues with Cholestramine, it seems to be working fine for me. I came on here to do an update anyway, then saw your message.
As for absorbing medications or vitamins, I don't believe there is a problem, however, that is part of the reason I ...

Thanks Tex, I agree I have been bad with the diet. I am sure I am paying for it lately. The last few days I’ve had an angrier stomach and hemorrhoids off and on. Bathing with Epsom salts seems to help along with H medication. To me that indicates that I still have a considerable amount of ...

My Update on BAM/MC journey
It's been a month since I was last here. Trying to figure out what causes microscopic colitis and whether my BAM is a result of it or whether the MC is caused by the Bam. Would be some easier to try and figure out how to deal with this if there was a possibility of ...

Received it and digested it. :grin: Some of it is so familiar to events in Canada. It seems that the problem(s) are universal. Your article has prompted me to write one of my own and to move forward with my desire to 'do something' and try and get more people involved in speaking up. I presently ...

I had no idea that the healhcare system in the US included a shortage of doctors. That is one of the main issues in Canada as well. Makes me wonder, where are the doctors going? In NS where I live and probably the same across Canada, the doctor shortage is being blamed on a number of doctors ...

Hi all,
So, I'm still on the Chorlestyramine and starting on Sept 16, I reduced my dosage from two packs a day to just one at bedtime. No change in BM, no change in anything. And, it seems that so far I am able to eat a lot of things. I do try to use (whenever I can get it) lactoid free milk, next ...

Tex, Thank you so much for your reply. I agree completly that if Cholestyramine is working, why change things? And I also agree that if it stops working then I can try the Budesonide. I guess I just wanted to hear from someone more experienced whether I was on the right track or not.

I have not ...

I’ve always thought I had IBS and had mild flair-ups over the years. However, end of March I thought it was a normal one…take one Imodium as usual and next day would be a normal day. Didn’t happen. From then on it just kept getting worse. Up to as many as 7 or 8 WD and urgency even with Imodium ...
