"CCFA has developed a fact sheet on microscopic colitis but at this time we do not sponsor specific microscopic colitis research. CCFA sponsors an annual clinical and & Research conference for doctors and scientific researchers. This year’s conference is called “2008 Advances in IBD” (Dec 4-7). At this conference we educate doctors and researchers about various topics. This year one of the topics is on Microscopic colitis (MC) and will be presented by Dr. Darrell S. Pardi, MD. Through this session we will educate more doctors about MC."

HMMMMM.............

PS She should know not to use Dr. and MD, shouldn't she?

Looked around on the web for him and yes he is attached to Mayo Clinic, MN but nothing he had to say about anything impressed me. Guess the older I am getting the less impressed I am. He did say older people get MC. Wrong.

Love, Maggie
