MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Tex, thanks for the quick response! I've never had an Entocort Rx, but I did take Fexofenadine this morning. So far, no blood, just slight cramping, but I think it's just the gas! I'll keep my eye out for C-Diff, but I think it is just a severe flare. I was wondering if Candida could ever be the cul...

Reluctantly, I took doxycycline in order to get rid of a bad bout of diverticulitis. Now, everything is going right through me. I am going on a broth/weak tea fast today to try to simmer my system down, as I am feeling weaker and am dropping a pound a day. I'm already very thin. I'm being very good ...

Oh, much better Leah, thanks for asking! Although no real "normans" yet, I only go about 2x per day, and my stomach is much quieter these days. I still am tired most afternoons (I am a morning person and try to get all my brain work and errands done in the morning). A day or two a week, I ...

Thanks for the feedback, everyone! Yes, I did do the Enterolab tests, so everything listed under my photo is indeed, "official". I am doing Paleo, but rotating meats and nuts so that I am able to eat something, even though I reacted to ALL of them. I am not eating fruits and veggies raw at...

Tex, you said: I eliminated every food that my records showed to be suspicious, and adopted a minimal, bland diet, and lo and behold, it worked. The EnteroLab tests could have saved me years of misery, if I had been aware of them. Are you still adhering to this in order to remain healthy? The reason...

Would you be willing to try a more drastically restricted diet in order to try to feel better? I read and read what works in others posts when I first joined this forum in May and received some very good advice. Try a Paleo or SCD diet and rotate your meats. I was advised in several posts to eat ver...

Thanks, Tex! I am NOT taking any medications, except an SCD Freeda multivitamin and my daily dose of Thyroid. It looks as though from your experience, my improvement will not be thwarted completely if one of the things on my list of things I DO eat is causing problems, as long as I avoid ALL gluten,...

Healing to progress so that I am getting normans instead of D in the mornings (ballpark ranges depending on your experiences only) Currently I am eating ONLY: Meats on rotation: beef, chicken, pork, lamb, turkey. (Each assigned for a whole day) Steamed veggies: carrots, summer and winter squashes wi...

Leah, Idubois, JFR, Gloria and Tex, Thanks again for all your support. Sorry for all the questions, but there really is a lot to figure out at first when you have multiple sensitivities. I think the ideas for meat and nut rotation (since I am sensitive to these), keep it simple, eat lots of protein,...

Idubois, here is the recipe I found on a SCD site. Haven't tried it yet, but probably will tomorrow. By the way, have you found an inexpensive source for finding the unsweetened coconut? (Like we found the almond flour in bulk). How do you make your milk? I will let you know how the yogurt comes out...

Whoops, didn't see your responses to meat 3 x day question previously asked. That certainly clarifies that I can eat meat 3 x day...Thanks! I would welcome a response to the other questions, though, and another one (lol)...what about legumes? Thanks again. You are helping me feel not so alone in thi...

Would you suggest I just eat a low fiber Paleo diet with rotations of both the types of meat and nuts? I think carrots and summer and winter squashes are the first cooked veggies you are supposed to try, but don't know where to go from there. The Specific Carbohydrate Diet recommends no grains becau...

I really appreciate all of your responses. What a funk I have been in. Idubois, I only have 5# of almond flour left because I already consumed the other 5#, lol! Guess that wasn't the smartest thing to do, but at least it wasn't gluten! Leah, thanks for keeping it simple for me. I can do lamb burger...

OK, I felt like screaming after I had my "hippie" breakfast of a banana and sunflower seed butter. I had to choke it down and was missing my spinach, mushroom egg white omelet immensely. At least I'm not hungry now (at least maybe I lost my appetite!) I was so hungry yesterday and looking ...

Yes, Tex, you may add the results to your list. Thanks for the tips on the different meats to try. I stumbled upon the SCD diet at the same time I found your site and had ordered Gotschall's book. I have been avoiding all grains (thank goodness), sugars and sweeteners (except honey), raw fruits and ...
