MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

I keep almond flour, brown rice flour, cornflour and potato flour as staples in my kitchen.

I mainly make flatbreads from my flours. All my efforts at baking have ended in disaster and very heavy stodgy baked goods that could not be eaten.

I started taking three teaspoons of chia seeds in my cocoa drink to bolster my magnesium intake. I just stir the chia seeds in when I make the cocoa. It's an acquired taste, I only have it because I am determined to get better.

Fortunately, chia seeds don't seem to be an issue with me.

Much is written about Tumeric and its benefits so I have also taken a serious look at it for daily use. After coming off my NSAID in September 2015 I was prepared to try just about anything. I believe the secret to success with Tumeric is in the preparation before eating. Tumeric must be heated in s...

I bought myself a few kilos of magnesium for my baths. On Saturday evening I had my first magnesium soak for twenty minutes.

Hello Alchemy.....

So sorry to hear you are having a bad time. I guess everyone has said it all.

Hope you feel better soon.

You go on the attack to grind my nutritionist into the ground without knowing the slightest thing about him and without knowing what he has done for me in the past. So nutritionist is the wrong title, but it was the nearest one I came up with, not knowing that it would cause such a vitriolic attack...

Welcome Allie......... So sorry to read your history and about your difficulties past and present. I sincerely hope you find peace within your body soon and an end to your distressing pain very soon. I'm not officially diagnosed as having MC or intolernces purely because it appears the medical frate...

Hi Vanessa.......

Hope you return to good health soon.
I believe we are all just one food item or meal away from a flare. Hope you find your culprit soon.

Almost anyone can call themselves a nutrionist and many people do. The protection using a Dietition as opposed to a nutrionist means patien...

Welcome Lizabelle........

Wishing you well on your road to recovery.
I found turkey breast was a very satisfying source of protein in the early days.

Happy Birthday Lilja.........

Hi Renee, I agree with Tex when he says six weeks isn't long in the healing process and that you should proceed adding food cautiously. The first fruit I added to my diet were the berries - blue berries, strawberries and raspberries. I added a very small quantity of one type at a time and just obser...

Gosh Tex..... I had no idea that magnesium depletion caused those symptoms, I have had leg cramps on and off over many years and put it down to not eating enough salt in the very hot weather. Profuse sweating has been a problem too, sometimes in the middle of winter I have to put the airconditioner ...

For the past thirty years, the first time was after surgery, I had my first laryngospasm. I am not sure if these episodes are related to allergies but they very well make have some connection. Thirty years later I find they come on for different reasons: Pickled onions, gritty gluten free bread (wit...
