I think I read on the forum when I joined about Enterolab but I may have read about Enterolab just looking over the internet. My nephew is 28 and after YEARS of skin issues, gut issues and RA diagnosis in middle school not one doctor he ever went to ever tested him for celiac disease. He moved to a new area and had a new general practitioner and went for...

Had a wedding to attend…… when the GI finally diagnosed MLC last year and prescribed the Budesonide and at the next follow up appointment at my request and my own research after the diagnosis…..my daughter had suspected BAM (bile acids malabsorption) …. I asked my GI if he thought that could be part of my problem too. He said yes and I can prescribe you a p...

I just don’t understand….. I’m so confused!!!!! If I test positive for celiac and I know I have Microscopic colitis a year plus now. The diets that are only suggested for MC are so different than gluten free….. I can’t begin to understand….what will I eat??? I eat barely anything now to keep MC from flare ups. Am I supposed to stop eating? This is ov...

I truly appreciate the information you have shared. I am going to screen shot all the vitamins you take….. I feel you unlike any dr (GI most definitely, numb attitude about MLC)….. I’ve gathered from several articles I’ve read that once a GI has treated you for MC (any type) and you respond and wean they have feel they have done their part and tell you wit... -

I now definitely think most with one if the two diagnosis that one diagnosis is highly likely to find out (if you are tested) that you will have both conditions!!!!!! -

You are very smart in the subject!!!!!!!! I see no good reason that MC should be as bad as it can be!!!! Yes the hair ….another issue for me!!!!!!! My hair dresser used to tell me Wow…. You have great thick hair! Not now….. I’m sooooo thankful it is not coming out like it was for months else I’d be bald or close to it….. MC if studied better I feel more... -

I have decided I need to be tested for celiac because if I have any possible genetic marker for celiac I certainly will try absolutely gluten free diet. I have no thyroid issues, all test for thyroid problems has been done….. I have thyroid nodules but they are checked each year by scans. None have changed. I really think the affects that MLC can cause f... -

BINGO!!!! This type of article and studies are what I have read after my nephew was diagnosed with celiac disease about a month ago but no Dr since his EARLY childhood ever mentioned celiac disease but the GP he chose after moving to a new area….. saw his skin and recognized it might be celiac disease. She was absolutely correct all his test were positive! ... -

Yes, that is my objective to rule out…….the fact that my nephew is now positive for celiac disease and I have learned MLC and Celiac Disease can both occur in a person. The fact that my skin is like a different persons skin (a major awful, that so far NOTHING has helped) I just hope to figure out IF I might have the genetic factor that might indicate Cel... -

Oh the microscopic colitis is not a misdiagnosis…. It is accurate…. But some of the articles I have read about Celiac Disease since my nephew was diagnosed at age 28 (about a month ago) yet he had been to Drs, dermatologist all his life and was treated for rosacea, acne and other conditions all those years. And his new primary care physician noticed the red... -
Wow you’ve had and have your share of health related issues……… yes, I know celiac disease is a real medical condition. So is microscopic colitis. After my nephew was just recently diagnosed with celiac disease I have read several articles and all the articles imply that often celiac contributes to MC and that MC can contribute to celiacs!!! All thi...

My symptoms are nothing as yours sound….. and I am better…… I just feel I have found the safest foods for me to eat (few but good to me) because so much I have zero desire to eat anyway. My blood test in June for yearly physical (I asked they check for decencies too)…….I’m not sure any decencies were truly checked but EVERYTHING thyroid was. I was absol...

THANK YOU!!!!!! Yes if a genetic test can be done I’d prefer that…… I certainly DO NOT want to cause a flare up if eating gluten can cause issues……..plus I no way need to loose any more weight. I have very little - none left to loose at age 65……… -

Thanks for the info!!!!! Yes my diet is very restricted for over a year now. Some things I KNOW I can’t eat and I don’t!!!!!! Some things I’m afraid to try again. Much just doesn’t appeal…… oh mercy I’d sure hate to add foods that might cause a gut flare up!!!!! I will consider after the holidays. I do not want to be racing to the bathroom all ... -
Does anyone have Celiac Disease with MLC also or MLC with Celiac Disease. I have microscopic lymphocytic colitis…. Just this month after a LONG hard time of (for me and I know many others) unbelievable 24/7 symptoms of unbelievable diarrhea plus homebound I was finally diagnosed after 5 months of waiting and basically living on water, clear broth, rice a...
