MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Thanks Tex-

Interesting...but read Randy's post at the top of the page titled "time to make some changes". He describes flu like symptoms almost identical to mine i.e. "last about an hour or so, some days nothing" as well as general abdominal pain. Before I received the diagnosis of MC my primary ...
