Going with the Flow : Living with Microscopic Colitis
Overview
What happens when your body no longer follows the rules?
After a lifetime of managing autoimmune conditions, Heather Friedman Rivera thought she understood how to adapt and move forward. But when she was diagnosed with microscopic colitis, everything changed.
Suddenly, food was no longer simple. Daily routines required planning. Leaving the house meant thinking about bathroom access, safe meals, and the constant unpredictability of her body.
In Going with the Flow, Heather shares her honest, lived experience of navigating life with collagenous colitis, a form of microscopic colitis. Through trial and error, she developed practical ways to stabilize her symptoms while continuing to live a full and meaningful life.
Inside, you'll find:
- What the early days really feel like after diagnosis
- How to navigate food, restaurants, and travel
- Practical tools for managing daily life and unexpected flare-ups
- Emotional realities, including grief, identity shifts, and intimacy
- Real-life strategies that helped her regain a sense of normalcy
Whether you are newly diagnosed or still searching for your own path, this book offers reassurance, practical insight, and the reminder that even within limitation, a full life is still possible.
