MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

fatbuster205 Hi there, I'm a long time member here...one of the original members of Tex's site. Happened to be reading on here when I noticed that your home is, I think, one of the areas from which some of my ancestors immigrated, so I would imagine that I still have a few left over there. That's m...

Yes, and I'm one of those people who quit having migraines right off the bat, once I got off of gluten. The only things since that time that will trigger one is things like MSG, sulfites, and other preservatives and taste enhancers or other excitotoxins that I might accidentally ingest. I think, for...

Hi Mandy, I tried Cheribundi or however you spell that one. Think it was unsweetened...there's more than one version. Made it into a coctail of just Canada Dry and part juice...fewer calories that way, and a nice refreshing cold drink for our fierce summer temps some days this summer. Juice and carb...

Mary Beth, Howdy! I didn't know this was your birthday, but just happened to "tune in" right now. So...how in the world are you doing? By the way, I made the HCSG meeting where the dentist spoke. She did a good job. Even took my dentist with me. Do you ever get to make a meeting? Just want...

I'm with you, Shirley.
I volunteer Polly.

Hi Polly,

I'm a little late, but still wish for you a terrific year.

Happy Birthday my friend. Luce

Epipens are pretty expensive, I hear. How much are they running you? Have been eating bananas for several days now, and just yesterday ate a little plantain. Thanks for the input. Beth, I haven't forgotten we were going to meet some Saturday for lunch. By the way, you missed a good speaker at the la...

Every one but me thinks it must've been an insect...or someone might've walked by wearing some sort of scent...didn't notice any, however. Probably was less than twenty minutes or at least less than 30 from the time of the Altoids until the reaction. Will just take precautions. Can live without the ...

Would you believe it? I had what appeared to be an IgE reaction today. This evening, my dentist and I went to a grocery store that has a big produce section which is where I was when the incident happened. Now I'm trying to figure out what it was that I was reacting to. Right before I picked her up,...

I think anyone with autoimmune issues, particularly anything to do with the gut, should talk to their physician about getting a baseline or a recheck of their bone density right away. Due to my osteoporosis, I am checked every year. Same goes for checking levels of vitamins...especially B-12 and Vit...

Vital Nutrients has a smaller no. of milligrams of Calcium citrate/maleate in their 150 mg capsules. One thing about this smaller amount of calcium is that one can distribute these capsules throughout the day, rather than take a large amount of calcium all at one time, and if one thinks they've had ...

Thyroid has to be monitored carefully via blood tests for levels. Once you've established the correct dose, then you can go longer...usually a year... taking that amount regularly. I have heard that Costco is cheaper. One thing you can do to keep the price lower, if you're going outside of your insu...

Hi again Karen, Think I MAY have some good news for you. There's a branch/offshot of the Houston Celiac Support Group up in The Woodlands that might be a good place for you to start meeting other people with gluten sensitivity, should you think you'd like to try the diet for a while. Some of the spe...

Hi Karen, I was a caregiver for my parents and uncle for years, up until just a little over a year ago, so I know how tough a job that can be. I was so sick before I got help here from many of the old timers with diet that I didn't think I'd be able to continue doing all the physical or mental care ...

First time for Nettle tea...hot tea for Sunday evening. Nothing remarkable about the flavor, but this particular brand goes down smooth. It's mild. I'm not one to put sugar in hot drinks, so can't be too bad since I drank it straight. Would have to have a good reason to buy it again, however. Wonder...
