That was an interesting article. Just seems like though that everything is a two edged sword. On the one hand, fiber is good - on the other it is bad if you are in a flare with MC. It all seems so confusing. And every time I think I have a simple diet figured out, I get told to eliminate more foods. Like my potatoes and sweet potatoes. They are kind...
Has your Dr mention Microscopic Colitis at all. You mentioned taking PPI's. I took them for over a year - 2 morning and 2 night. I think that's how I ended up with Microscopic Colitis. I don't think I have Celiac disease but do think I am very sensitive to gluten. My GI dr. told me to eat whatever I want , but have learned from research, partly from...
Well I really wasn't doing low fat on purpose. Just grilling the meat because its easy. I was actually told on the MC site that I need animal fat and should eat it. I looked up that Celiac Meal Shake and it was like $80 on Amazon. Didn't look up the other 2 yet. And the Pegan bar looked like it had way too much fiber. Shouldn't I be avoiding fiber?...

Hmmm, well if I should be on a gluten free diet with the M Colitis, then I guess there is no reason to be retested for Celiac. I mean the treatment is the same right? - a gluten free diet. Except with the MC I also have to be dairy free?
They haven't tried to sell me a book - oh well I guess there is a book on the website, but nobody has pushed it. But yes they are very big on Enterolab. They have suggested whether I do the testing or not, I should stay off of gluten, dairy, soy, anything with fructose in it and fiber. That's not leaving me much to eat and I have lost an additional 7...
So I have been diagnosed with Microscopic Colitis. My GI did blood test for Celiac but said it was negative. Told me I could eat whatever, just take my Budesonide. The microscopiccolitis.org website tells me that almost everyone who has MC is gluten intolerant and probably dairy intolerant so I have been on gluten free; dairy free diet for 11 days. My...
