Boy, you're lucky piemonte that you have a GI doc who listens! I saw my GI twice: once before Colonoscopy and tests and once after. Since then they don't check up on me. I have to call and it's like a fortress of anti-phone call. He's really good at what he does but he treats someone and moves on. When I read there were two types of MC, I called my GI to ask which one and they said there is only one. I should try someone else but our area is limited and they're so booked out. So I've been on my own. I'm now on Budesonide 3mg every 2 days. I'm weaning myself off. Then we'll see. I haven't changed my diet except that I try to eat as much as possible because I weigh 97 pounds but used to weigh 105-110. I go up and down ounces but have been at this weight forever. I live with frequent mild stomach ache. I exercise moderately.
Aren't you majorly constipated not eating any fiber? I don't go as often as I should, but I'm not constipated.
My MC showed up in my colonoscopy. He took a sample for 3 parts of my colon. Sometimes it doesn't show up?

@janstur It sounds like you really need to find another GI. I’ve had MC for about 35 years and my quest has been to find a female GI. Still haven’t found one.

@janstur

You would certainly think a low fiber diet would cause constipation, but for me, it does not.
