MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Hi Laura-

I had mine done Oct. 1998, vaginally & never ever regretted it! My GYN MD said "oh it's like having bad cramps afterward"...ahhh not quite! But it really isn't all that bad. It takes awhile to recover totally but you will be so glad that you did this. I also would have D with my periods ...

Actually, I was thinking that your name for some reason was penguin!!! :oops: Sorry about that!

I can't take anything in the Tricyclic family. Years ago I was on Imipramine & was a nervous wreck. Made my heart skip , etc. Way too many things to deal with, so went to the SSRI's. I may have to be ...

Ah- ha!!! Thank you both Penquin & Tex. I'm trying to remember exactly when I started to have these GI problems. I started the Zoloft in 2000 & I do remember having some difficulties around 2001. It's definately worth a try to get off of the med, since it probably isn't doing anything now anyway ...

Hi everyone- It's been awhile since I've been on here but here I am again. Does anyone here take Zoloft? I have been on it for over 10 years & just read an article that it can possibly be linked to MC. Interesting & will be calling my MD. on Mon. Thanks- Karen

Thanks again Tex. I did find quite a few things at the Co-Op; including the Udi's bread, so I am a happy camper for the moment :grin: Also had a Larabar blueberry bar on the way home. It was yum! :wink:

I will keep you & all informed as to what happens with my GP.

Thanks to you too Hoosier 1 ...

Thanks so much for the info Tex. I will call my GP tomorrow regarding the mesalamine drugs. I have never heard of them before. So there you go; that's why this forum is so beneficial to people like me :grin: I too feel that the GP's are more understanding in some ways with their patients.

I'm ...

Hi Tex :grin: Thank you, thank you,& thank you! I had read the SAME thing. After telling him what I had read regarding BP, THEN he suggested taking BP meds. I mean "REALLY"! :mad: Who wants to keep taking one pill after another? I am so disgusted with this MD & won't be able to see him again until ...

Hi Gloria :grin: Thank you for the welcome! I appreciate it.


I do use the DF Culturelle or I should say did use it. I'm eliminating it for now using the Entocort. It truly is a trial by elimination involving the foods. I will do whatever I must do though.

I will check out that website. Thanks ...

Hi everyone-

I am a newbie here so bear with me. I was diagnosed with MC last year & while living in Charlotte, N.C., I was told I had IBS. After my colonoscopy , I finally found out that I had MC instead. So there you go; another generalized diagnosis. I have been on Entocort several times & it ...
