MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Robin,

Nice to see your lovely self in that picture! Thanks for sharing ;)

I no longer habitually do things like that 'dump oyster crackers' habit - but I sometimes worry that I will, or did (did I just pop a cracker in my mouth??)... and like several others here, I've had dreams where I suddenly ...

Joe,

That's quite a Christmas Moose you have there! Glad to hear you're recovering (and that your sense of humor stayed strong throughout).

Love,
Sara

Merry Christmas, Sheila, and fond wishes for continued health and healing!

Sara

Wow, Harma - what an 'adventure'! And I agree with our fellow PPers - you have a wonderful humor about the Great Flood! That is even more delightful than a newly clean floor

Merry Christmas!

Sara

Merry Christmas, 'neighbor' Barbara, to you and your lovely husband - from all of my folks here in Brooklyn!

And a very happy new year, too.

Well, when the FDA realizes that I plan to undermine the food industry's profits singlehandedly by *never buying any of that stuff* - they'll have another think coming!

I think I'd have no more success persuading the gluten-sensitive community to avoid this crap than I've had so far 'suggesting ...

Merry Christmas, Dee, and Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas!

We're doing a low-key version of Polish Christmas Eve here - it will be fish, but not traditional Polish carp (because my husband hates it, and it's his tradition, after all!). My family will be here from Sweden, and though I keep saying "low key" we're up to about 8 or 10 people ...

Welcome, Wendy!

I'm on the "healing through diet" program, and so far have been very lucky. I did use Pepto in the beginning, but not for the full 8 weeks at the full dose. Your thinking and approach sound smart, and it seems you're already seeing results. Good for you!

It's weird that we have ...

Deb, I had been dairy-free for at least two months (somehow I think three?) before testing, and my result was clearly positive.

I totally sympathize about soy milk - but just know that the variety and quality of the other 'milks' out there is great and getting better all the time. (Almond, coconut ...

A joyful Christmas to you in your new home, Harma, and warmest wishes for a healthy, thriving and peaceful 2012!

Robin,

I don't want anyone to make me food they don't want to make, and I don't want to eat anything I can't/don't want to. In some of those situations, I would just bring something you know is safe, and eat nothing that doesn't make you feel 100% certain, no matter what anyone says or thinks. I ...

I can't find where I wrote down my cranberry sorbet... in fact, it might have been somewhere other than here?

But it was dead easy, and could be varied at will:

1 or 2 packages of cranberries (used fresh last time - will use frozen now, because that's what I could find!) - they're usually 12 or ...

I'm a DIY MC healer, too. I was pretty much in remission when I informed my PCP about my MC - which was originally diagnosed in 1997, but mysteriously went away for years, till it came back far worse. By then I had my Enterolab results and had been GF/DF/etc.F for months. I have not seen a GI doctor ...

LOL, Gabes - I believe I could contribute a chapter or two!

I respect Dr. Cordain greatly, but seem to be marching to the beat of a different drummer, even though I'm the strictest Paleo eater in my own personal acquaintances (helps that I'm the *only* one!). (Hey, maybe I should get to work on ...
