MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Hi everyone- I have only posted here a few times. I was diagnosed back in the spring with CC. At the time, I suffered horribly with D, but only for a few months. However, I have had a long history of C, and was diagnosed in my youth with IBS. I was very lucky to go to a NP in a local practice in Co ...

OK, that makes sense! Thanks :)

I don't know...all of the results were in cm:

A) sample was 0.6 X 0.5 x 0.2cm
B) 0.7 X 0.5 cm x 0.2 cm
c) 0.6 cm x0.4 cm x 0.2 cm
D) sample measure 1.2 cm x 1.0 cm x 0.2 cm

So,not sure? maybe that should read mm instead of cm, but that is what the report says.

I am hoping to avoid entocort, if possible, but would take it if my ...

Thank you all for your replies. I have been checking out the website for testing. I am willing to do whatever I need diet wise to get better. Does this disease ever completely go away, or does it just go into remission? I have always been a distance runner, and some days I feel like I can barely get ...

Hi everyone- I was recent diagnosed with collagenous colitis. I was having D up to 20 times/day. Things seem to be settling down in that department on their own, thankfully. My doctor prescribed cholestipol for the symptoms, but I haven't even used it yet. I still get cramping, even without the D ...
