MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Aloha all - I could use some ideas... ready to do a new round of searching. Dx with LC MC 4 years ago and been stabilized for over 3 years. I had other possibly neurological sx before - brief time of depth perception being off after trying to add in 2 foods one day and used to have numbness in my lo...

Aloha, I am sharing info I got from a local IBD group. I don't usually do this and if this bothers anyone please accept my apology. I believe the information I'm about to share will be of interest and value to most, if not all of you and your loved ones. I just watched Episode 1 and was blown away w...

Aloha - thank you so much for your speedy reply! I will ask my PCP for the RBC magnesium test. Happy Thanksgiving

Hi - wondering what people need to check with annual blood work...I have heard iron, Vit D & B 12, folate...anything else recommended? Thx in advance!

Aloha - thanks so much for your help!

Hi - I could use some input please. My dx of LC was done by colonoscopy & endoscopy 6-15. I had another colonoscopy 2 days ago. The new GI MD took multiple samples and finds no traces of LC now! I said to him 'great' but why am I starting to have symptoms again after stopping all of my supplemen...

Aloha - thanks for the fast reply. I do not feel sick and am not feverish. Hemorrhoids are probably it then - never had them before. Thanks so much for your excellent guidance!

Aloha all - I could use some guidance. I tried searching this topic and didn't find one on someone needing quick guidance. I have had lymphocyctic MC for 2.5 yrs & had SIBO 2.5 years ago (don't know if still do). I have been very stable for over a year on diet alone. I have always been more on t...

Thanks so much for the tip Deb!

Aloha - getting a pressure cooker - Instant Pot - for the holidays. I saw one person said they use a pressure cooker. I sure would like to cook meat in 1 hour. Any input on if this would impact the quality of the bone broth? Thanks in advance & happy holidays!

Thinking about travel to Las Vegas next month. Anyone have any luck finding restaurants that are responsive to MC requests including ones that may serve game meat, lamb, salmon or turkey (the latter without added spices)? Prefer on the strip as we won't rent a car. Thanks in advance, Aloha Girl

Aloha - I hope you don't mind my sharing a bit of my knowledge about improving sleep. I have been helping people with sleep issues for 10 years (and been to many workshops). Cognitive behavioral strategies are the key to managing insomnia (some supplements certainly may help too but habit and behavi...

I really appreciate everyone's wisdom. I will keep it on the 'down low' and not call attention to myself going through the TSA lines. I definitely will not have my food in broth then. I bought the Zojirushi bento lunch set and it will arrive a few days before we leave. I look forward to Orlando's Pu...

Aloha - thanks to both of you. You have given me some good ideas that I think will help me navigate the TSA/security and the 13.5 hours of in the air travel itself. We fly to Newark straight from HI and have an hour long layover and then fly to Orlando. I saw that lunch 'kit' at Target the other day...

Aloha - we are going from Honolulu to a wedding in Orlando in 2 weeks and I wanted to see what others do about eating on the plane. I had called the airline months ago and they said call TSA. I called TSA and the person I spoke to said that with a doctor's note that I have a specialized diet, I shou...
