MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Deb,

I have been using a doctor prescribed compounded glutathione cream applied transdermally 2 days per week. Each application contains 600 mg glutathione. I believe it has helped me tremendously.

Just dropping in to say that I continue to do well using one packet Enteragam a day. I generally have 2 stools per day that are mostly formed but can still be "mush". I can't remember a day in the last month when I've had diarrhea. If the consistency or frequency deteriorates at all It see...

Tex, PDF works well for me thank you. I will "digest" chapter 5. I know it may go against the grain here but the thing I see in the article is perhaps in some of our cases there may be a "smoking gun" like an infection that has dysregulated VDR. That was my point in posting this ...

Thank you Gabes for making that point. Also increased need for magnesium is one of the concerns I would have about taking too much vitamin D. As calcitriol mobilizes calcium our needs for magnesium increase. Our inflammed guts already leave us highly challenged to find ways to increase our magnesium...

Tex, I didn't know you had written a book about vitamin D. I would very much appreciate it if you would email me a copy and I will read it. But I would also very much like for you to read the article that I posted and then possibly give me a little more insight on why the author's have over thought ...

Here's something else I read about Vitamin D (not from Dr. Ayers). I don't know the original source, but I recall some group warning that Vit D supplementation was not advised for people with Crohns, Lupus and other granulomatous autoimmune diseases. Could this be why? Vitamin D research is discuss...

I agree with Gabes about genes. It is very helpful to know your genetics to know your weak spots and be proactive. I also believe that while we can't change our genetic code, we can prevent aberrant genes from expressing or "turning on" and we may be able to actually "turn them off&qu...

Pat, I agree. A little strange with it being sweet and a slight taste of beef broth. I think I'd almost prefer it didn't have the dextrose in it. But I think you get used to it and yes I've tasted much worse. Gigi

Pat,

Yeah! I don't think you have anything to lose and everything to possibly gain. It is very easy to take and I have had zero side effects, only significant improvement of symptoms. I will be eager to hear from you!

Gigi

Nick, I was wondering, have you had genetic testing for genes related to gluten sensitivity? I don't have much hope for myself to be able to ever eat gluten again because I carry two copies of the gene which predispose me to gluten sensitivity. Although, I will say that just eliminating gluten is al...

Thank you for finding that! More evidence for me that my improvement is not due to coincidence or a placebo effect.

Zizzle, My doctor told me to use two packets a day for two weeks then one per day for a total of 6 months. I believe that it does contribute to healing. As you know this is all very complex and different for every individual, but overall I think that Enteragam is helping with what causes the inflamm...

I have found no downside to Enteragam and I have been using it for about 3 weeks now. Diarrhea, especially watery, has significantly decreased. No side effects I'm hoping that using it for 6 months total might bring even more improvement. The only thing I am concerned about is cost once the new dedu...

Zizzle, In reading through this I was just wondering if you had seen my posts on the treatment discussion board about Enteragam. If not you may want to take a look. The manufacturer says that the way it works is "it uniquely binds microbial components, such as toxins...". And from the pres...
