Thanks, Jlynn! My diarrhea settled down after three weeks and I haven't seemed to have a problem since... the Immodium is a good back up, though... just in case! Best wishes for your pregnancy!

Ursa, Thank you SO much for your response. It means so much to have someone help me figure this issue out! I am not eating any soy or dairy. Do you know how I can safely try an elimination diet during pregnancy? I worry that I won't get enough nutrition for the embryo, though with D, I'm probably not absorbing all the good food I'm eating right now...

hi everyone, I am now very early in my pregnancy -- just 5 weeks! My celiac symptoms are fully under control. My microscopic colitis symptoms were fine until last Monday (thanks to acupuncture). Since then, my symptoms have become progressively worse. I spoke to my OBGYN last THursday who said that many women get D in early pregnancy and that I shouldn...

Thank you both. My husband did some painting in the basement. I can't think of any other changes, though I have been eating more corn than usual, so maybe that's it. Do you know if there's any way for me to figure this out aside from trial and error? (The breathing difficulties is stressing me out some.)

However, I've noticed that when I'm even slightly congested, I have to revert to breathing through my mouth or I just don't get enough oxygen. This has happened a lot recently, plus I've felt like I've had to work harder to draw the...

All, I have read about the association between Celiac Disease and Type 1 Diabetes. I am wondering what the risk is of developing Type 1 Diabetes after being diagnosed with celiac? Thanks, Camilla.

I think MC, like celiac disease, has a genetic and environmental component. I have read that the same gene that predisposes one to celiac disease and Microscopic colitis. Your doctor would be able to diagnose your MC through biopsying your colon.

I am also happy to see this thread. I'm struggling with Microscopic Colitis as well. I have been very strict about the gluten-free diet since I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease in June 2005. Still, about every three months, I have a flair up of MC. IT's so unpleasant. I am considering either: (1) taking medicine; or (2) trying a more strict diet, like...

I think I've hit a series of wrong buttons... apologies!
