MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Oh, and add soy to the list above. Suzanne

I just got results from enterolabs and scored 2-3+ for eggs, chicken, beef, pork, tuna, rice, corn, wheat, oats, cashews, almonds, walnuts and white potato. Do any of you have an idea about whether quinoa or any other protein source might work for me? Thanks. Suzanne

Thank you, Joe--I will look up the site you sent and appreciate your posting them. Jean, I agree that attitude is crucial and as soon as I get over the initial shock (I have always been very healthy and had no 'sensitivities' that I was aware of), that will be the one thing over which I have control...

I just got my enterolab results back and am pretty stunned by the results. I had 2-3+ reactions to wheat, corn, rice, oats, milk, eggs, soy, beef, chicken, pork, tuna, almonds, walnuts, cashews and white potato. I posted this in another section and Tex is the only one who answered, suggesting that I...

Hi all. I just got my enterolab results and am sort of stunned--I reacted to wheat, milk, soy, chicken/eggs, corn, rice, oats, cashews, walnuts, almonds, beef, pork, tuna, and white potato. I have several initial questions for those of you who are experienced in this. How can I possibly get enough p...

Gabes and Tex--words of wisdom and knowledge--thank you. Suzanne

hmmm--this all started toward the end of my husband's lengthy illness and death

thank you, Gabes. I had discontinued magnesium when this started since it can cause D. I will try to find some topical and I will read up on MTHFR--all new to me. So this is something that can just appear? I have never had any problems with intolerances, any GI problems--but as my husband, the docto...

Thank you all so much--the thoughts on budesonide were very helpful as I have been tempted lately and would rather find out what all is contributing to this. I have been taking an antihistamine nightly for several months and agree that it helped a lot. I have been reluctant to spend $500+ on lab tes...

Thank you, Fern, for a very thoughtful and positive response. I have been thinking of the enterolab testing but have never heard of MTHFR which I will look up next. Suzanne

Hi, I have a few questions but first must fill you in on my status: first episode was late Sept 13, no diagnosis or treatment for 3.5 months with out of control D. My sister recommended a brat diet and it helped immediately, reducing episodes from 15 per day to mild ones 3-5 times. Finally diagnosed...

Do any of you know about this diet or use it? There was just an interesting study reported in Scientific American

Be sure to listen to the audio report

Hi all. I know I have read this information on here somewhere but can't find it. Which test did most of you order for general food sensitivities? Thanks, Suzanne

Wise words, Gabes, and in a challenging situation. Thank you, Suzanne

Does some of this imply that the use of antihistamines is questionable? Suzanne
