MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

I am unable to eat chicken. I eat turkey nearly every day, whole, ground, sausage, in soups, casserole, tacos, or on a plate. I never experienced violent vomiting from chicken or the immediate,extreme reaction you described. You might have gotten a touch of food poisoning from something you ate that...

Congratulations Gabs! Thank you for helping us through our journey.

The news recently reported the findings of a study of people with GERD. Participants drinking alkaline water throughout the day experienced as much relief from GERD as participants who took PPIs. Alkaline water was defined as 1/8 teaspoon of baking soda per 8 ounces of water. I started using alkalin...

Hi Katelyn, I'm sorry that you are dealing with MC at such a young age. Have you tried giving up gluten? It's absolutely worth a try! You can Google information on how to give up Gluten 100%. It's important to eliminate 100% for testing purposes. Ditch bread. There are nice rice pastas in the superm...

Hello Tex!!! I think of you and speak about you often. :bouqueofpinkroses: I was not aware that Uceris has a lower systemic impact. Hi Brandy, thank you for your good suggestions. I told my new GI that when I relapse, I move down from 9mg of Entocort as quickly as possible by making my own capsules,...

Hello All, This support group helped me to identify multiple food sensitivities and survive MC. I've had many bouts with successful use of Entocort but the repeated watery D, extreme weakness, and resorting back to a diet of nearly 100% meat is hard to take. My doctor lectures me on the harm caused ...

Hello All, It's been a long time. I am recovering from a severe car accident and I've been telling everyone how well my MC is doing. I tried adding back a few foods from a long list and it didn't work. I've taken a step back. As always, I want to regain my stability without Entocort but that doesn't...

I like her way of thinking. This is timely for me.

It's worth a try

Hi Erica, I agree that it's difficult to face such life-altering consequences while we are going to great lengths to keep a challenging disease under control. I'm happy to hear that you are regaining your balance without steroids! I have never had problems with seasonal allergies and I have been str...

Hi Tex.
I think it's too soon to reduce also. I will increase my current magnesium supplementation and maintain my already high vitamin D supplementation.
You've made a huge difference in my wellness over the past 2 1/2 years.
Thank you.

Today is day 31 on 9mg of Entocort daily (for a relapse). My BMs are sometimes formed but not quite normal and are brown, non-watery D about 1/3 of the time. I have worked my way up to eating a small amount of cooked veggies again but cooked veggies cause cramping and D. I would like to reduce to 6 ...

Hi Gabes,
Great pic and a great story. You look healthy and you look like you are having fun. Great!

Thanks Tex,
I've been uncomfortable with the B12 situation since I learned of my high levels. It didn't make sense to me to take more.

Thanks Tex. Today was much better than yesterday. I feel tired but less so and the low grade fever is gone.
