Two years ago, my life changed drastically. It all happened so fast. One day I was fine, and the next, I was curling over in excruciating pain in the emergency room. I had tried cutting out certain foods for months and trying to track if anything changed, but nothing was giving me relief. After visiting with my doctor, I was diagnosed with Microscopic Colitis. I did not know what it was but was relieved to know what was causing me such pain. I was looking forward to finally knowing what would relieve my pain. Unfortunately, the doctor told me that my best bet was to take copious amounts of Pepto Bismol, and this was all that could be done. I was flabbergasted that this was the only treatment offered to me. I took it upon myself to figure out what changes I could make regarding my diet and exercise to help me feel better.
