MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

I'd like to thank the original poster for this idea. On a whim, I tried this. Started with 1 TBS potato starch and the pomegranate concentrate once a day. I've been doing this for 2 weeks and it has really helped. Solid BM daily with lower frequency. There is a lot of information online about potato...

Apologies for the delayed response. I’ve been experimenting some. I do think the DAO is helping. I’m using Ancestral Supplements Grassfed Kidney. I take 2-4 a day split between am and pm. I take them 1/2 hr or more before eating. Now the Zeobind powder seems to be irritating for me. I’ve stopped tha...

Just a follow up while I'm on the board. BPC-157 didn't do much for me. My functional Dr is now having me address histamine intolerance. There has been a lot of talk about this on the board over the years. One way to tackle is to do a low histamine diet but he is having me take a kidney glandular su...

I have used Viva Naturals organic psyllium husk powder for years and it works well for thickening stool and for me, lowering frequency. You have to find your dosage or it can cause bloating. I use this along with diet changes, supplements etc.

I have also taken SBI Protect and Butyrate and although they helped me a bit (had to really up the dose on SBI protect and its expensive!!) I'm not sure I would continue given the cost. I have tried so many things, many at the suggestion of my Functional Dr. He's great about research and trying diff...

Anna- I started taking this exact supplement last week. I take 2 about 30 minutes before eating. I will probably up this to 4 a day. I think it does help me, not a magic bullet though. My functional practitioner recommended it after a stool test showed very low short chain fatty acid levels. I was o...

Thank you for posting this Ken. Very interesting! Let us know if you feel this supplement works for you.

Thanks for your reply Susan (sorry, just saw your post)! Well now that is interesting that you were able to get the packets. Good to know.

OK so called Sandoz (thank you Janie! embarrassed that I didn't think of that)....the sucrose product is backordered until end of July but the rep said it will in all likelihood continue longer. This is the can of powder and the packets. I did not ask about the nutrisweet version although my local p...

I was at my Functional Dr today and we were talking about bile acid sequestrants. I’ve seen many people recommending the sandoz brand powder and more specifically, the sucrose version. In calling various pharmacies, we are both being told they can “no longer get” the sucrose version but they can get...

Allison- I live in the DFW area and saw Dr. Karen Steffer at Texas Digestive Disease Consultants (TCCD) in Southlake. I found her to be attentive and she figured out I had LC before I even knew what it was. She did my colonoscopy/endoscopy and confirmed the diagnosis. The office was great about havi...

Carol- Interesting post. I just found a Functional Practitioner in my area. I am so excited to see the information you received from the testing. Looks like I can’t get in for an appointment until mid September. It’s expensive :shock: On the cholesterol front....my regular family Dr is concerned wit...

Meggie-

Thanks for posting. I have been curious about this for a long time. Just ordered it-I figure why not. Thanks for the research you have done. I did not understand the legality of the industry. Looks like the hemp oils are not a big issue.

Hope you continue to feel well!

Noel- I had an appointment about a month ago to have my cholesterol tested. My Dr wants my LDL below 120 regardless of my HDL (82). I have it tested twice a year. It seems a bit extreme to me but she’s pretty adamant about it for all her patients and wants it lower for patients with more risk factor...

Deb I wanted to respond to the stomach polyp portion of your post. When I was dx with LC in May 2015, I also had an endoscopy to biopsy for celiac. After the whole procedure, the GI came in to talk to me and had the whole printout with pictures. She pointed out the picture of my stomach and there we...
