Hi, from a newbie
Hi, I have been told I have MC, this after over a year of D. I know I will have many questions and have already learned a bit from reading the posts here. I just wanted to say just having a place to come and be able to talk about what is going on with my body is wonderful. Don't know about all of you but I don't have many people who I want to discuss my BM's with lol. I will come back and go into more details of all the treatments they have tried but for now just wanted to say glad to have found you.
Welcome!
Glad you found us. This board saved my life. I don't know how I would have managed without the support of the wonderful people here.
As Gabes, our lovely Australian member said to me when I first came here, "we speak fluent MC".
Don't hesitate to ask ANYTHING. If you have been reading you will see that we don't hold back. We ask whatever we need to ask, describe what we need to describe, and know that the people here will understand, and for the most part, have answers way superior to those of the doctors.

Hi Kitty,
Welcome to our internet family. We consider ourselves a family, because we have found that no one truly understands this disease, unless they actually have it, and they have to live with it on a daily basis. This especially applies to the gastroenterologists, and it explains why they consider MC to be a "benign disease, with a self-limiting course". After all, they aren't the ones who are chained to the bathroom.

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
Welcome Kitty,
The information you'll find on this site will be vital to your recovery. Who knows better than someone who is living it, right? Many members here are in remission and although I don't believe I am, I am following their example so i can be there too. It's amazing what others on this site know and someone is always ready to answer your questions.
Don't be afraid to ask any question.
take care,
Carol

Hi Kitty,
Welcome! I am also not in remission YET, but have been finding a lot of information here very helpful. I have been GF/DF/SF for a little over 3 months now and have had noticeable improvement. It is great to know I can come here and ask questions and know that there are some or many who have great suggestions. VERY knowledgeable forum - "user friendly."

Hi Kittty and welcome to the group form New Hampshire
You certainly have found the best group around and the information here will save you a lot of suffering. I was Dxd just about 2 years ago now and have achieved remission by eating GF,DF,SF and I do take some meds for both MC and Crohns.
Feel free to ask any questions, this is the place for it
Take care
