Microscopic Colitis: How to you keep it under control?

I know myself how difficult it is to figure out how the medical system works in other countries. I actually know how it works in Sweden- my home country ( south west) and my daughter lives there now, near Malmö.
I’m my opinion 3 months is too far off for a follow up on how the increased dose helps you.
Maybe you can try contact the gastroenterologist office and ask to speak to a doctor- or even go to the regular health care clinic(Vårdcentral) and be seen to see if you need another blood test since you are not feeling better. They should also be able to give you more information on the disease. They also should be able to arrange for you to see a dietician.
I hope other members with experience with ulcerative colitis will join the conversation.
Do you have any difficulties eating certain foods, seasonings?

That's very helpful that you are familiar with this system. I have been living here in Karlskrona for 11 years and have really good impression of the health care. They do one thing good and that's the surgery which I have heard of.
Anyways, so yes I have contacted them 3 weeks ago(both vårdcentral and gastroenterology) to do further investigation and guidelines for diet plan. So they asked me to leave samples again which I did and nothing after that. They called me last Friday and said the values are ok. That's all. No diet guidelines no checking (since they are not the one who diagnosed me), I would like to go through a procedure here and they need to see and forward the knowledge to other doctors. The doctors changes here and the writes the journal about your visit so the next doctor read it. I don't think there is enough for other doctors to see because they have not any procedure. They only got the what I have provided them to see from my home country.
Regarding diet plan I have started my own research and started cooking food that is good for ulcerative colitis. Yesterday was my first day of my UC diet plan and I am following a book which I will share later. I don't remember what exactly its called right now.
Well, I made rosted Owen chicken marinated in olive oil, cummin, turmic, garlic and ginger past and salt. Cooked for two hours on 200 c. 1.5h the chicken was covered by folio and last 30 min with out folio so the chicken get some color.
It's was good and I felt good also I started lemon water (a little warm) one glass in the morning on empty stomach which helped me wash stomach before my day starts. I will figure out more about the diet as I read and try more. Thanks
