MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Thanks, Tex. One of the recommendations is to drink a lot of water, which I do and have always done. I'll keep researching for a healthier mouthwash to use at bedtime. My hygienist said using one of the products would also help with the plaque that forms. I go every six months for a cleaning but the...

Hello. I have very dry mouth at bedtime. I asked my hygienist & she recommended Xylimelts (Xylitol). While it worked very well, it really disrupted my sleep & one night I woke up sweating! Biotene is also recommended but I read the ingredients and one is listed as being bad for the endocrine...

Hi, Cynthia. I'm a Pepto success story. My GI recommended 2 tablets 4xday for 8 weeks. After a few weeks I became C so I reduced to 6/day. I took the tablets which I cut in 1/2 and took with water. Do not chew them or your tongue will turn black. I have not needed any medication nor have I had a maj...

Happy New Year, Pam! So nice to hear that you're coming off of a flare and not beginning. I wish you & our interrnet family a wonderful 2025!

Good morning! I hope this finds everyone well. I haven't visited for a while. Life is busy! I'm in remission for around 10 years, thanks to this group. I went for a facial yesterday, which isn't common for me. It was wonderful to lay on a heated table for an hour & be pampered for a bit. But sad...

Paula, it's scary what we're eating without being aware that we're eating it. Our country is so far behind other countries in keeping our food supply safe. I hope you soon find an end to the flare. Take care!

Hi, Sonya. Glad that you're doing well! This forum is the best and I hope that it's a help to others as well. Have a great week!

Thanks, Jen & Tex! I am very grateful for being able to live an active life & I am so glad that I was able to encourage you, Jen.

Hello, friends! I haven't checked in for a while. Retirement life is busy! I recently had my 10 year LC anniversary. While it's not an anniversary that I really want to celebrate, I am doing incredibly well. I attribute my success to this group! I recently had annual bloodwork and other than my chol...

You're very welcome! Sorry for the late reply. Life has been crazy lately.

Hello. Soaking in Epsom salt always helps me.

Hello! I haven't traveled overseas, but I have traveled across the country. I always carry Nick's turkey sticks for a quick source of protein. If you tolerate tuna in a pouch (without additives), Epic bison bars, packets of Justin's almond butter, Lundberg organic brown rice stackers, Lara bars (hig...

Hi, Elaine. If there are Target stores on your travels, they carry gf items. I purchased Applegate gf hot dogs while in CA & I was eating one in a piece of gf bread while in the back of an Uber! We have to do what we have to do. I always have Nick's turkeys sticks on hand (Vitacost online has th...

Hi, Granny. You might want to look at going dairy free as well. Many of us react to the casein in dairy products. The Enterolab testing should be helpful to you. I was glad that I did it.
