Help with Lymphocytic Colitis

Hi all, in addition to the specialist at UVA I have a fabulous Gastroenterologist in Alexandria, VA who diagnosed the LC. She gave me an RX for Colestipol which worked wonders for controlling the diarrhea. I keep this handy for those extreme days, but have been diligently trying to maintain some type of normalcy (if there is such a thing). It’s hard to get to a doctor for an appointment when they are either an hour and a half or 2 hours away, but I am fine with virtual also. Yes, bidets are our best friends now and Costco has the best deals on them. It’s a shame that they are not standard in American homes. They are life changing. Keep your head up and will continue to pray for each of you. We now know more about each of us than many of our closest friends and family. But we have to be strong and support one another. Where are you ladies located?

I am just west of Chicago. In reading the posts I fear stress is the one element of all this that is challenging to manage for me. My job over the years has gotten worse as there is more work piled on but no one to help me. I plan to retire May 2026 which in reality is just around the corner.
