MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Tex,

I went ahead and ordered the individual vitamins to get started. I'll post an update once I have taken them for awhile.

Hi Joe, From a fellow New Englander, hugs and wishes for healing peace for you. Having your daughter's wedding to look forward to undoubtedly helps provide the strength you need to handle all of this right now. Your positive outlook and ability to share is a great indicator that you will continue to...

I'll be lucky to hang on to my job if I don't do something quickly to improve my concentration and memory. This thread describes how to assemble a combination of the active forms of vitamins B-12, B-9, and B-6, that will improve your cognizance and memory. This combination is sold as a prescription...

I'm so sorry to hear how horrid you're feeling Lesley

Thank God for our dog children, we'd be lost without them.

I did my undergraduate honors research on Wernicke Korsakoff syndrome. The research continued into my first year of graduate school and eventually was published. This was nearly 40 years ago. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/748805 My married name was Dricker. Nelson Butters was one of the leadin...

Regarding entorcort.....think long slow taper at the low end. I was on it for 4.5 months. At the low end I was doing one pill every other day for a month then one pill every third day for a month till I finally got off. The 3 months that the American docs recommend is not typically long enough goin...

[/quote] Wow Brandy, Your family history and mine have strong similarities. Thank you for posting that as it reaffirms what I've been thinking. Such a simple and easily corrected thing can cause such devastation. Now I wish gluten were the only thing I had to remove from my diet. That would be a &qu...

It just dawned on me Jody... do you take anti-depressants?If so, have you previously asked Tex about the drugs you are taking? Certain anti-depressants can CAUSE MC! For some people, once they switch from one type to another or get off completely, the MC goes away! please look into it if you haven'...

Hi Jody, I'm sorry about those results. I know you will get it all figured out, but it will take some doing! A journal listing what you eat each day and detailing BM's and how you feel each day might help. I ate lots of nut butters while I was in the early stages (easy to make yourself in a food pr...

Jody....I know its overwhelming, to say the least, but try not to be too angry, at your situation. At least you now know the truth and by avoiding gluten, soy, etc, your body can heal, and you can get your life back! Maybe the nausea is from high histamine foods?? That was my issue. Once I removed ...

Jody, I ate meat 3 meals a day (still do, we need lots of protein to heal), I soaked and dehydrated nuts, then made nut butters (they seem to be easier to digest), and I ate well cooked veggies (carrots, squashed, green beans). I could also eat coconut, so I make eggless macaroons, and that's my tr...

I don't have anything to add as far as the yeast, Babs, but I had a bad weekend too : ( feeling very sorry for myself and angry, angry, angry. I'm feeling better tonight lol! It's ok to have these emotions...I think it's important to acknowledge them so you can move on and do what you need to care f...

That's great news! So good to hear of success and that it does indeed take time but will happen. I need to pull myself together, get organized and cook like that so that I can make it through the work week without feeling overwhelmed.

Thanks for the info Linda and Leah. I'm still sorting through my thoughts and feelings. Because I am still having a hard time with foggy brain and problems concentrating, I'm working it out incrementally. Day 3 on 3 mg of Entecort...nausea and headache not too bad today but I have some muscle aching...

I never had any sort of GI issues that I can recall until the past year. I'm 55 and just dx'd in May after a few months of constant diarrhea that then became explosive WD and all day long even if I didn't eat. I've always had fatigue, brain fog and depression though as far back as I can remember. I ...
