MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Hi Lesley. I'm soooo sorry you are still struggling but it's so ironic that you were talking about throwing in the towel as well as another member as I just had this conversation with my mom about 2 hours ago. Since I am c dominant and have been on this bloating and gaseous ride for about a month ...

Hi Zizzle,
You mentioned that your mother-in-law's primary complaint was gas and bloating. Was this only when "glutened" or with her colitis experience in general? I am just curious as I am c dominant with a main complaint of gas and bloating. I currently use gas x and am on the chicken/rice/eggs ...

Lesley,
Sorry to here you had a rough day. I agree it helps to have people you can laugh with and cry with. Thanks for the ice cream recipe. I had an ice cream maker that I bought from qvc and never used it and got rid of it before we moved to Florida. Figures huh? May have to pick up another. I ...

Hi Garina. When I read that you are eating lettuce I cringed. I used to be a salad every day type person but can't even tolerate a little pc with gf boars head. You will notice if you read past postings that lettuce is a big no-no for most of us. It definitely causes me excess gas and pain. Also be ...

Hi Garina, Brandy, and Lesley.
The gas has been my primary complaint through-out this ordeal which is why I gave in to the gf,df,sf diet. I tried Beano in the beginning but don't think it helped but that was over a year ago. Guess it is time to try it again. I am thinking of doing the simplistic ...

Hi Dawn, Just wanted to say Good luck on Thursday from a former Hoosier! (I'm from Fort Wayne but have lived in Florida for 2 years now).

Lesley, how do you make the coconut ice cream? I must have missed that being posted.


Take care,
Sondra

Hi Garina from another Floridian. I have chronic gas issues and bloating with my LC and am about 6 weeks into being gf and sf and I've been df for a few months now. I've often felt like the odd one on the forum as I have stated in another post, that I seem to be the only one who complains of chronic ...

Hi Kristine,
I have been taking extra strength Gas-x almost daily for over a year with no adverse affect. I read somewhere that it isn't harmful to even take a little more than recommended dosage. In fact gas has been my primary symptom with constipation since the onset of "d" after antibiotic. I ...

Hi Phil. I am a member who got pretty bad diarrhea after taking the antibiotic Augmenting XR for a bad sinus infection. It finally resolved then a few months later same thing: sinus infection, Augmenting, diarrhea. This time it lasted a couple weeks longer and I had severe bloating and fullness. A ...

Deb,
Don't feel alone. I've been going through this for 1 1/2 years and just got serious about gf about 5 weeks ago and I still am having the gas, bloating, some constipation. It's frustrating not seeing fast results but we are all different. I have to remind myself of that daily, believe me.

Hugs ...

Hi Joe and thanks for the recipe. I know what my husband will be cooking this weekend! He has been looking for a BBQ rib recipe for a very long time. He said yours looked terrific.

Take care,
Sondra

Hi Tex. I always prepare my documents with Times New Roman 12 pt font. Glad you are ok with such horrific storms yesterday.

Can't wait for the book to be released.

Hi Paula,
I would agree with Tex that we are consuming less calories and certainly no deserts so it would make sense that weight loss would occur on that basis alone. I do try to use as much olive oil as I can when cooking and as Brandy mentioned, the shredded hash browns (ore-Ida are gf I think ...

Hi Paula,
I find myself like you worrying about the weight. I try to avoid my scale as I know I have lost some weight but am hoping since I have only recently (within 6 weeks) gotten serious about eliminating gluten, dairy, and soy that it may take some time for my intestines to heal and then I ...

Hi Carol. I am so happy to hear you are thinking about adopting a rescue dog. They really are the best dogs (although I love them all!). Our boys are both "kill shelter" rescues who were severely abused and malnourished but we have had them 6 years now and they are both my little princes. I am sorry ...
