MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

I have been existing on meat and veggies: cruciferous, carrots, and yams. While i was on prenisone, my symptoms decreased. At first I handled the loss of prednisone well--still on budesonide--but symptoms are increasing and explosive D is getting more common, especially at night. I am exhausted. Que...

I have needed to take potassium for many years for various reasons: idiopathic fluid retention (so I need a diuretic), gastric by-pass (so I have had absorption issues even before MC) and now MC causing me to lose potassium.

PlanetDrugsDirect has cut cost of budesinide from $1000 a month to $211 for 100 days.

Your post is so encouraging to me! I am about two months into my journey and already have discovered so many intolerances. Now that I see your list I am convinced I can do it too.

Per EnteroLab I react to cashews, walnuts and almonds. Are there any nuts that are less antigenic for many people?

Does butter have milk proteins that ruin my dairy free attempts? The labels say no protein but something is increasing my symptoms.

I am new to this site and have already found it very helpful. Eliminating gluten, dairy, sugars and soy have decreased my symptoms to the point that I am nearly diarrhea free. However, the tip of my tongue is very sore and I awaken every morning with severe leg cramps. (Am frightened to take magnesi...
