MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

I have printed out all the information you have given me this past week TEX, and I am deeply grateful! Your knowledge and your patience and the lengths you go through to educate a person about their condition gives one renewed hope and confidence to move forward. So far, 105mg of Magnesium a day the...

Tex, what incredibly valuable information you have given me! I looked at the Ingredients of my "Caltrate plus D3" Supplement and it DOES have Magnesium in it, just as you suspected! Magnesium Stearate. Perhaps this IS why the occasional bleeding in my urine. What a great insight, Tex, Than...

TEX, your Replies are Extremely helpful! You mentioned the Normal Range for determining Kidney Function. This is my June 7th Blood Test reading by the Urologist: EGFR 71 mL/min/BSA... >60 mL/min/BSA From what you have said, this indicates that it is safe to begin Magnesium Supplements, which I did y...

Tex, Your Replies are Excellent, thank you! At 5'5", 100lbs, and 71yrs old, I will start my Doctors BEST Magnesium at 100mg or 200mg daily and see how it goes! Do I have to also work up to taking 2 or 3000iu of D3 daily or can I start there? Would I still need D3 even if I was not taking Magnes...

Hi, TEX - If I may just ask a follow-up question, please - About the FREEDA Vit D3 and Doctors BEST High Absorption Magnesium Lysinate Glycinate 100% Chelated... since I have Not been taking the recommended amounts for CC, must I start taking them slowly and let my stomach get used to them? Or can I...

Hello! My Main Question : I am changing some of my supplements and am trying out NOW Calcium Citrate Powder instead of my former Caltrate Tabs. The usual way they recommend taking it is in pulpy juices like Tomato or Orange juices. But, because of my MC, I don't drink those juices. So, will it be as...

Wow....This couldn't have come at a better time for me to see on this Message Board! My own "gut" feeling has been speaking to me about this very issue, as I am facing a root canal issue right now with my New Dentist. Having observed that my last 3 root canals with crowns wound up getting ...

Thanks, Gabe! I'm so glad it is helping your Mom! I am encouraged for it also helping my UTI issues now! Any thoughts on whether or not it has any adverse side-effects for Collagenous Colitis? I am careful of diarrhea issues. My CC is under control, thank God! I want to maintain that status. Thank Y...

Hello, Friends :wave: My nephew has recently told me about Colloidal Silver. He makes his own in water and says it has helped him and all his family with many infections, and with nasal congestion, coughs, and the like. I have had Collagenous Colitis for some years now. Recently, I have been getting...

Hi, Marcia! I’m sorry for the delay, but I did not get an email saying that you replied to my question. I would have replied back to you much sooner than this! Thank you for the information you provided on drinking Vita Coco coconut water! I feel much more confident about it since Tex’s and your rep...

Hello, TEX - Before Posting my question, I tried looking it up by entering the Topic in the Search Box because I was sure other people had posted about it in the past. But, I did not manage to find a post like the one you sent me the Link to. So, THANK YOU for stepping in! :grin: And Thank You for y...

Hello, friends! At 70 yrs old, and in the middle of a New York heat wave, I need some safe-for-CC Hydration tips. Pedialyte , a children’s hydration product very low in sugar. Vita Coco Coconut Water: ingredients are coconut water, less than 1% sugar and Vitamin C listed last at 34mg per serving. Ot...

Thanks, GABES! I still have experimenting to do with the unknown kinks that are still keeping me from remaining more or less in that over-all comfort zone you spoke of, but I'm really applying myself and my discipline is excellent once I discover just what it is I have to do. :smile: My Gratitude, T...

Hello, TEX - Your replies really helped me to tailor my plan for remaining in remission according to my own particular lifestyle combined with my CC absolutes that must always remain in place. In the past, You have taught me well from when I first got this crazy life-altering disease and probably sa...

Hello again, Gabes - I appreciate all the information you took the time and care to offer me, thank you! I will also read up more on it, now that you have brought it to my attention. "...like I mentioned in the other post - listen to your body. If you have the glass or wine or GF beer and there...
