Hi @janstur - you've been through a lot since your microscopic colitis diagnosis. It makes sense you'd be wondering why the flareup: Hysterectomy? Bug in the Caribbean? Or something else?
So that you can chat with others who have also mentioned microscopic colitis, I moved your post here:
- Microscopic Colitis https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/microscopic-colitis-5/
Hoping you can connect with others such as @ymoreno2 @pb50 @kjane322 and others. I'd also like for you to meet @jlharsh.
Is your main symptom diarrhea? When this happens, is there anything that provides you some relief?

Thank you for the introduction @lisalucier . Hello @janstur .
I read through your comment and do relate to quite a bit. I am not dealing with microscopic colitis…at this point I can’t tell you what I am dealing with. It gets exhausting and we can’t take any time off. I feel your pain through your words and I am so, so sorry. Keep going. No matter what, keep going! I am hopeful for you by the mere fact you found this group of caring folks.
For whatever reason my body has systemic problems that require a super high level, and uber consistent diet and exercise. It is scary to lose weight when you don’t want to. I keep thinking I’ll get a magic formula figured out and conquer it.
I had to look this up to learn a bit more about it so am including that link (now you know the extent of my knowledge). It sounds like there are a couple different types and I don’t think I saw you mentioned yours. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/microscopic-colitis/symptoms-causes/syc-20351478
What brought you to Connect? I am glad you are here.
You mention a colonoscopy provided a reset. Would it be worth asking your provider what about a colonoscopy would have helped, and would make it temporary?
