MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Lesley Tex has posted my enterolab results. I always experienced setbacks from 'unknown' sources until I discovered lectins and then the puzzle came together. I am great as long as I stick to low carbs and foods that are cooked at high temperatures (deep fried) or fermented. I suggest you try lower...

Steve, Thanks for asking.... I am doing even better now, after lectin research and discovering foods need to be cooked at high temperatures (not baked) or fermented. I actually bought a 'Fry Daddy' and filled it with lard (suggested by paleo). I have found anything I fry in there not only tastes gre...

Apparently I have wasted the last year either because I would have gone into remission anyway, or because I should have researched lectins sooner.

lectins are exactly the part of plants being modified to make them more resistant to diseases and insects.

Still researching lectins and found this article: http://www.nikigratrix.com/would-it-be-benefitial-foroptimum-energy-to-eat-a-lectin-free-diet/ This ties in several of the diets many of us have had success with scd, paleo, low carb, etc. Researched heat deactivating lectins which is apparently why ...

Jonas If you see me running better take off because something is chasing me :grin: I have at times had muscle weakness to the point of having to sit down and rest before I could get across the room. This was new to me and started when I was at my worst with mc. I thought it was from electrolyte imb...

Lilia & Martha, I think these bushes are called 'privet hedge' so originally they were probably named for privacy. There are several across the street from me at the city park and we walk our dogs there early each morning. It has a walking trail so it is great exercise for all of us. Every morni...

lisaw Sorry if I confused you. I was on a very restricted diet gf, df, sf and ef based on enterolab results for about a year. When I got to a point where I thought my 'leaky gut' might be healed enough I began to add foods back in and I started with a modified scd. I added the eggs and then the che...

Blueberry
God only knows...I love it. That's what they should call fibromyalgia too

I think that's like saying sinus drainage is a disease....it's not and it may be caused by anything from seasonal allergies to cancer. I had 'chronic constipation' most of my life. As an adult I considered it a complication of busy lifestyle and eating too much fast food. The problem was fine as lon...

i agree completely we are down to our last few fruit bars too! There has been a lot of whining on facebook. People from other states don't understand WE ARE OUT OF ICE CREAM!

Erica, I have used Uceris during holidays or on vacation to insure it would be enjoyable for me. I originally took it for 2 months and went into remission with a restricted diet. I have been able to maintain that for about a year now. It has definitely been 2 steps forward and one back. I am glad to...

yes, overindulging is always a problem, especially after long periods of denial. Glad to hear some of you have been able to find a restaurant that's allergy friendly. I live in a small town and the nearest Chiptole is about 60 miles away.

Also confusing for newbies is the fact that we are all so different. We may, in fact, have different causes of MC. From research and using myself as a science experiment I believe mine started with a bad bug of some sort. Research indicates that bad bugs may be one cause of leaky gut. It takes a lon...

I quit posting my menu each day because I thought it might confuse some of the newbies (and it stirred up envy in others) :grin: 3 weeks after stopping Uceris I am still doing ok on the low carb, high fat & protein diet. Still eating bacon & eggs for breakfast most mornings. And red meat dai...

Lilia some things really do get lost in translation lol
