“The typical medical interpretation of microscopic colitis does not include the possibility of constipation as a symptom, nor alternating diarrhea and constipation, and yet many MC patients have those symptoms rather than chronic diarrhea. ...Unless a patient comes to a gastroenterologist complaining of watery diarrhea, MC will probably be completely off the doctor's radar. Few colonoscopies are done to investigate cases of constipation, and without a colonoscopy or sigmoidoscopy plus biopsies, diagnosis of MC is impossible. In cases such as these, the default diagnosis will almost surely be irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), so the patient will be very unlikely to receive any treatment that is effective at relieving the inflammation that's causing the symptoms.”

In addition, permanent residual neurological damage can result from untreated gluten sensitivity. (Hadjivassiliou, Grunewald, & Davies-Jones, 2002)”

“After discovering Wilhelm Reich's insights on natural motility and blocked spontaneous movement, I connected IBS to his concept of Vegetative Equilibrium. Reich taught that neuroses arise when the body and mind lose their balanced energy state, stifled by social and religious repression. This creates physical armoring. The imbalance blocks natural energy discharge and fluid expression. It breeds psychological strain and physical ailments like mine.”

“Sometimes the extract is not an erasure, But an expansion. It is not a cut, but a culmination. Not a gash, but a growth. Life has taken the suffix -ship, made it a verb, Taken a sound & given it momentum. That's what only words can do -- Prod us toward something new & in doing so, move us closer -> together Perhaps our relationships are the very make of us, For fellowship is both our nature & our necessity. We are formed primarily by what we imagine.”
