@pb50 you are more than entitled to whine. The reason you didn’t know about it, as well a a number of my GI’s over the years is because basically, we’re women. The research and studies on more than one kind of colitis didn’t even begin until the late 1980’s. Mostly women get microscopic colitis so it just wasn’t important enough. I will never forget one GI I saw said I was being hysterical, making things up when I simply had irritable bowel (I’m pretty sure there’s nothing simple about it). The next new GI I see will be female. Period. I’m tired of being treated like a child.
