MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Very well said, Gabes and Martha. I need to say enough to get what I need, and keep some things to myself. I just wish that there was a medical person, who had the ability to write scripts and order tests, who had some real expertise with this condition. I also with I could find a knowledgeable func...

Thank you Erica, Tex and Martha for commenting and sharing your great advice. I'm going to change my antihistamine pronto. I did see my GI on Friday and she prescribed Busdesonide. She also wanted me to have a whole host of other tests "just to see if anything else is going on" and I said ...

Hello, Thanks so much for your response Tex. I've been packing my family for an upcoming move and haven't been on the computer in days, so I'm sorry for my late post. I have an appointment with my GI on Friday and I will ask her about the low IgA, I thought the same thing that you pointed out! She s...

Thank you so much for taking the time to respond to my post. Cathy and Brandy, I so appreciate you words of support and sharing your experience with Entocort. This is what I hoping to hear. Thank you. Tex: Thank you so much for sharing your expertise, it's very generous of you. The bloodwork I had d...

Hello! I was diagnosed with LC in August, and found this wonderful group in October. I got great advice and was feeling very good by mid December following a gluten, soy, dairy, corn and sugar free diet. I was able to eat some veggies, a lot of protein, fat and a little bit of fruit with no D. In mi...

Thank you Tex and Gabes for the tips, I will go slowly and see how I feel.

Hope this helps you out too Happy Bird.

Have a great weekend!

Hi! I've been on the elimination diet for about five weeks and have been feeling better than I have in months, no D in several weeks and sleep is much, much improved with magnesium, Vitamin D and B12. I feel more "myself" than since this started last June, and my knee pain has disappeared ...

Thanks so much!

Hello, I'm having some sleep troubles, wondering if anyone can share some wisdom. I've been using the magnesium spray for the last five days, several times a day and taking D3 and B12 (dissolving tablet). I'm hoping to treat the magnesium deficiency that I probably have, but I'm guessing that it's n...

Thank you Tex, that is invaluable information. The thread you linked was quite a scary story! So glad you worked it out. If I break my arm, I'm definitely going to a doctor, but if I'm unwell, I find there is just not much for western medicine to offer. At least that has been my experience. Hopefull...

Hello! I'm having excellent results with the sticky rice and turkey. Thanks! Two questions, if anyone has info: 1. I took half an allegra 12 hour allergy pill on Wednesday on whim, after reading about mast cell issues. My gut pain was much better and the next day had an almost totally normal BM, the...

Thank you Gabes, I made some last night and it was delicious, and so far seems to be digesting okay. Great news!

Thanks again to you all, I know I'll have some more questions and will ask.

Hope a good day comes to everyone,

Adele

Thank you so much Tex and Erica! Very good advice, I will make the changes you suggested. Quick question about sticky rice, is it a type of grain, or a way of cooking, or both? I'm going to switch to turkey and make some other changes too. Today has been a better day, so we'll see what happens. Tex,...

Hello! I was diagnosed with lymphocytic colitis in August after a colonoscopy that was done to diagnose why I had six weeks of diarrhea. This site is truly an amazing source of information, thank you! I've been working on the elimination diet for just a week or so and had a few questions, but though...
