MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

This info came from Anne @ the Gluten Free & Beyond forum. There are 2 good links here. Is it possible that the birth control pill could be contributing to a leaky gut and increasing the problem foods? http://www.afpafitness.com/articles/articles-and-newletters/...-syndrome/ Quote: The leaky gut...

We investigated this recently following a suggestion (I will look for the link) and, yes colitis can be a side effect of some BC pills. My daughter's GYN & endocrinologist were not familiar with this & both needed to look up the info to confirm. Not saying that the BC caused the MC but the M...

Kimberley- Found an interesting quinoa cracker recipe on http://www.nourishingmeals.com/ if you want to try making your own. Other cracker baking ideas on www.glutenfreegoddess I've been buying the Glutino brand-original flavor. They are much like Ritz in regard to flavor-but do carry that familiar ...

Hi Kimberley- My daughter is also working on the GF/CF/SF diet & had to stop using the Pamela's mixes because they contain dairy. I found some very good bread recipes on the Karina's kitchen site (sandwich bread & focaccia are favorites). Also all varieties of the Glutino pretzels seem to ha...

Tex- WOW! What an ordeal! So glad to read you are home again & on the road to recovery. Finally got my daughter to start following the great info you & the others offer on here to decipher her ongoing intolerance dilemna. Rest up, get well. :barbell: We greatly appreciate your efforts ! Stil...

Hi Dana- We live in NY also. In order to have my daughter's Enterolab work done, we had them ship the kit to a friend in another state. He then forwarded it here & we sent it out. However you do it, be sure to save the original box, as it is the one you ship the sample back to them in. Not knowi...

Hi Julie- Sorry to read of the icky tick! From personal experience with Lyme Disease, I'd consider trying to get a RX for Doxy for 30 days if possible. You live in an endemic area? Do you know anyone with Lyme? There may be a support group in your area if you need more info. I never saw the tick tha...

She's doing great with the GF/CF diet-now we pray no other intolerances appear! She just graduated college & is getting mighty nervous about finding a "real" job. Thanks for asking :grin: Cara...have you & your daughter ever tried hemp milk? It's very nutritious-my daughter really ...

Well Tex & Cara, At the height of our frustration with my daughter's medical issues would you folks believe that I found BOTH of your terrific forums around the same time. I have been educating myself (and my daughter) ever since. Feeling now like I should have introduced you two! :lol: Many tha...

Hi folks- I have been trying Karina's recipes for quite some time now...all with excellent results! It is a terrific resource for those with multiple food intolerances. I have pasted her response to comments on the book because she does recognize other conditions beside CD may necessitate a GF/CF di...

Welcome! :smile: Here's a probiotic you might want to consider-very economical if you buy the 90 day box. We have been happy with them, as well as the Enzymatic Therapy brand Gluten Defense product for a little extra protection when eating away from home. This site also has reasonable prices for a l...

Thanks for the speedy reply, Tex! I have been 'googling" away with very little to show for it. I knew I should ask the expert first. :grin: And, yes -my daughter added the CF component in September after the Entero lab results. Giving up all dairy, especially cheese, was difficult but has done ...

Hi folks :smile: It's been quite awhile since I have last posted... Wondering if I can tap your experience & collective knowledge once again. My daughter is headed to the doctor tomorrow with possible bronchitis. She has luckily not needed an antibiotic for years (most definitely pre MC diagnosi...

You can look for Spectrum products -they have a soft tub product (found in both baking aisle and/or health food section) or try coconut oil.
