MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Hi Everybody! Sorry I have not been posting here for a while. Since I went GF/DF/SF in July, I have been mostly much better with some slips here and there, which take time to heal. Well, today we got our much desired BFP (Big Fat Positive pregnancy test)! :) We are over the moon :) And I am already ...

Thank you for your responses! The reason I asked such a specific question is information I have been seeing around along the lines: "The molecular structure of gliadin, the protein portion of gluten, closely resembles that of the thyroid gland. When gliadin breaches the protective barrier of th...

Tex, thank you for your response! What about your TSH and T3 levels - did you monitor them?

I will post my question on this board as well: Did anybody have any luck in bringing thyroid antibodies down with eliminating food allergens/sensitivities? If yes, how long (approximately) did it take? I read it is possible (the idea is that immune system calms down and, specifically, with no gluten...

Did anybody manage to bring the levels of TPO-Ab (thyroid antibodies) down after eliminating food allergens/sensitivities? If yes, how long (approximately) did it take? Thank you!

thank you!!

Thank you very much for the feedback! I read that wheatgrass itself does not contain gluten - gluten is only in the developed grain. I got this powder: http://www.vitacost.com/amazing-grass-organic-wheat-grass-powder-28-oz, which claims to be gluten free. I am thinking to try it slowly. I will share...

As I prepare for possible IVF cycle, I would really like to make sure that my vitamins deficiencies after months of D are addressed. So it would be good to know what they are. Did anybody try SpectraCell tests? Was it informative? helpful? any better test out there? Thank you!

I would really like to start taking wheatgrass (for nutrients benefit), but a bit cautious. If you tried, could you please share your experience? Thank you!

I use Ancient Minerals magnesium lotion ( http://www.ancient-minerals.com/product ... um-lotion/ ) and I am happy with it. I just use it as a regular lotion all over my body, except face and surgery scars, - twice a day after shower.

I have used: Lidocaine patches, diclofenac and ibuprofen in topical gel form (bought in Europe, but Voltaren should be the same). As for the pills: tramadol (or narcotics - I had to use oxycontin and lortab after surgery).

Never mind!!! I am sorry, Gabes! I found it in one of your posts!! Thank you for sharing it with us!!

Gabes, quick question. You mentioned lotion form of magnesium. Can you recommend anything specific? Was there a specific lotion/oil/cream you tried and liked?
Thank you so much!

@ Summer: I have been around for a couple of month, just as a user :) - mostly reading others stories and experiences - and learning a ton from them. And tried to figure our what I can do to fix MC for a couple of years (just went on a "viral" and "weak immune system" tangent fir...

Gabes, this is very important and helpful piece of information! I have not done the heavy metal testing and I probably should (I grew up in heavily industrial region). I will certainly research and try to do it asap - thank you so much for advice! As for Vit D. I did it recently: Vit D 25-OH Total 3...

Spline in math is a piecewise polynomial function, useful in many applications, though term comes originally from engineering :) Splines are one of my professional expertise areas :):) I looked up The Gabriel Method. It simply has different goals which don't always align with ours (to reduce colon i...
