Guest guest Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 Hi everyone, I was diagnosed with microscopic colitis in Feb of 2006. I was unable to tolerate the Asacol that was prescriped to me and in searching for answers on the internet, started a gluten-free diet with immediate results. I would have occasional flare ups if I didn't watch what I ate, but in all have been pretty healthy the last 4 years. Another flare up started in mid-December 2009 and has gotten progressively worse. I am now down to 111-113 lbs (normal weight is 118) and going to the bathroom up to 20 times a day. I found the BTVC and SCD websites last week and have been doing my best to do the intro diet since. I couldn't find a yogurt maker locally, so had to order one online and just completed my first batch last night. Unfortunately, I am having another colonoscopy done tomorrow so am on the liquid diet today (I'm keeping it SCD legal). That's a little background on me, here are some questions: When it seems nothing is helping, how do you know if you are reacting to a specific food? Is there anyone else here that has been diagnosed with MC that has had success with SCD? It isn't mentioned in the book or the websites. Thanks to anyone for your help/suggestions.
