MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Thank you again Tex!
One thing I'm still confused about though.....if your blood work says your magnesium levels are in the normal range, how did you know you needed more?

Thanks Tex. I don't actually take a calcium supplement. My MC was caused by a SSRI and since going off, only NSAIDs seem to bring it back now. So other than being GF (I'm celiac) I eat a very balanced diet. I do take about 4-5000 UI of vitamin D daily. You said you were taking the wrong magnesium. W...

I am suffering from frozen shoulder, bursitis, calcification tendinitis and mild arthritic in both shoulders! Has anyone been able to take NSAIDs (I've heard there might be other things you can take with them to reduce or elimate the MC symptoms) or found anything else that can significantly reduce ...

Thanks Gabes!

I have some magnesium oil that I put in a spray bottle when I was first diagnosed (on all your recommendations). I cannot however remember nor find on here how much I should use. The magnesium chloride I have is 1ml=125 mg.thanks!

Thanks Tex!
I might continue a bit longer with the MSM and glucosamine as it seems to take the edge off the pain. Hopefully the D gets better and it's not the new pills.

Ok, so I'm coming off he Amitriptyline now. Doctor has given me Gabapentin to try once I'm fully off the ami but I'm on the fence. Yesterday I also started glucosamine and MSM to help the joint pain. The D was gone two days ago and yesterday but now today the crazy stomach gurgling and d is back ful...

Thank you both. I do take magnesium and vit D daily. I am on a low does of ami (20 mg) but Tylenol or even tramacet don't really help nerve pain at all. Cymbalta did such a great job at the pain :-( Has anyone tried Lyrica or Gabapentan for pain with Mc? I think when I see my doc on Tuesday I may ju...

Hi, I have been D free now for about 18 months. Just before I became symptom free it was a very desperate time for me and I made a lot of changes to my diet, drugs and lifestyle all at once. Slowly, I have tried adding things back and none of them have trigger my MC. Well, one of my triggers was Cym...

So earlier this year I think I got things somewhat figured out. The problem is, I changed a few things at once (in desperation) and it worked, but I am not sure if they all worked or not, and I'm scared to let some things back in to check! Lol My issue is with Cymbalta. I was using this SNRI and it ...

Thank you for Gabe and Wayne.
I checked the list, but no Canadian doctors! Maybe I'll luck out, and at at minimum get an allergist who will listen and no just assume I'm crazy!! Thanks again!

No, nothing out of pocket to go.

Well now I'm on a research kick! Lol I have an appointment to see an allergist in about 6 weeks. (In the mean time, I'll send off my Enterolab sample and get the results back before I go in). My question to you all is this: what should I be asking an allergist? I mean, is it even worth going? I'm no...

Thanks Carol

I got the call on Friday that "your blood work is all fine, just a bit of low iron so start Palafer once daily". I asked her to mail me the lab results as I am not sure I belive it or not. I seem to always be the patient who falls through the cracks. But good news is she said my IgA is in ...
