MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Interesting stuff about the hydrogen peroxide, I'm going to try that next time. Happy to report that I'm feeling better. I had some herbal tea with ginger at Linda's recommendation and after a night with fever and chills I woke up feeling much better and no D so far. I'm going to eat bland for a few...

What a great link. Thanks Linda!

My husband just got over it- one day of vomiting and fever followed by 4 days of explosive D and my kids had it before him. I'm so dreading this, I have had a very nice three months of remission but today I am queasy with chills. Any tips for preventing or lessening a flare up? I'm guessing with the...

Thanks all, glad to be back on track.

It's been two and a half months since my last flare...I had to do another course of Pepto for 4 weeks to get things back into remission and so I was reluctant to do the experiment with the Estrace cream again for awhile. But I have been back on a daily dose for the past week and no signs of the D re...

Thanks Tex, I hope it was isolated too. It really felt like trapped gas cramping but in a severe way like diverticulitis or something...dried fruits do cause me a lot of gas issues so I do suspect the apricots had something to do with it. I've eaten them before but only one or two and this was a lar...

Good morning people: I'm at work so I better keep this brief. Last night I had a bout of severe cramping and bloating that started around 8 o'clock and lasted until almost 1. It encompased my entire abdomen but would travel and worsen in waves of pain. I felt like I had gas but could not pass it and...

Hi Dave: I pm'd you a couple times over at the ETL website last winter. I am one of the former vegans that Tex talked about- I had plans to go back to it once I was in a good solid remission but I think I might be one of those people that fails to thrive without some kind of animal protein. I have f...

I took them 3 in the morning, 3 in the afternoon and 2 in the evening.

What kind of soup? This one was mushroom with a carrot juice base and I tolerated it okay this spring but I forgot and put cannellini beans in it so I suspect that caused the upset. It's so black and white with remission and flare isn't it? Last week I was eating nothing but greens and beans and fr...

Hi Nettierud, I can't do HRT and I'm convinced it was at least "part" of what caused my CC...or at the very least made it worse. However, I do use a vaginal cream and I have not noticed having any issues with it. I have been also been told it stays local. I am very careful to not get the ...

I've been eating this for the past year ever since I went dairy free. It's an investment purchase but I bought a Vitamix blender and it handles the frozen banana just great. My recipe is 1 frozen banana to a quarter cup almond milk and then whatever other frozen fruit that you want to flavor it with...

Thanks for weighing in guys. Yeah either is possible, my husband bakes a lot with wheat flour and makes a big mess that I usually end up cleaning up after. I guess my next recourse is to stop the estrogen cream and get the flare under control. Once I get that done then I am going to reintroduce the ...

I'm having a relapse- not a big nasty one but back to D a couple/three times a day with some bloating and slight cramping. I have been eating the same foods as before with 99% of them whole foods- cross contamination is possible in my kitchen however with gluten. Last week though I was prescribed an...

Yes thanks Tex...I don't have nightshades often..not a big potato fan but I do like tomatoes and notice more inflammation the day following eating them so I try to restrict myself. Nearing the six week mark since my last Pepto tablet and I had a follow up visit with my doctor this week. I am back up...
