MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Thanks Gabes! That is helpful to know.

I am sure I have quite a bit of flour flying around the house and definitely in the toaster. Gabes and I talked about FMT a few years back. I am not sure how available it is in Australia but I am pretty sure the priority is for patients with C-Diff. Definitely a last resort. I am going to try the pr...

I definitely think it has something to do with gut bacteria. Both my initial entry into this disease and this flare as well came after antibiotics. Cross contamination is definitely a consideration as I have a husband who loves gluten laden products. I will have to be more diligent in this area. Tha...

Hi Tex

One thing with this flare that is different is that this time I am dealing with bloating and gas and that is something that has always been quite minimal. Do you have any clue why this would be different? I just wonder if anything else could be going on as well.

Thank you so much for your reply Tex and for the link to the article. I have read it and will read it again. I made an appointment with my GP but couldn’t get in for four weeks and then I am sure I will get referred to a specialist which will take more time (the health system in Australia has really...

It has been quite a while since I have commented on here. I have now had this disease for over 12 years. I have never been in full remission but things became manageable after medication and sorting out my diet years ago. I believe my MC started with antibiotics so I am always very careful if I have...

Hey Treese I read a little of what you said about asking too many questions and thought I would reply. Today I wanted to look something up and a search led me to your question which was helpful to me as well. It is so good to ask the questions and hear the wise replies because it benefits not only t...

Thank you very much Gabes. I will look into both of those

Hi Gabes

I have been using magnesium oil for quite some time but thought I would try taking it orally. What would you recommend? Is there something that I could buy over the counter here in Australia that won't result in D?

I am a bit late but Happy Birthday Paula. Hope your day was wonderful xx

My Dad had peripheral neuropathy which occurred after he started taking statins. My brother also took statins and after some time started to develop peripheral neuropathy as well. So he stopped the statins and the tingling went away. When the doctor suggested that I take statins I flatly refused.

I have only eaten it cooked. I may be able to tolerate raw but haven't tried. I am very cautious about eating raw veggies.

Thanks Tex! I don't take magnesium orally but do use it topically with magnesium oil. I am also making sure I drink more which I don't think I was doing previously. Not an experience I wish to repeat

Hi Maximus74 Gabes mentioned me in an earlier post. I am from Adelaide as well...thus my profile name. I started symptoms at the end of 2011 but it took some time before diagnosis. At the moment I am doing okay. I have enough symptoms to remind me that I have this disease but not enough to encroach ...

Just looking back on this post from 1 year ago about spinach. I was having a big bunch everyday but decided to cut it down to minimal after a kidney stone a few months back. I have really no idea if the spinach was the cause but apparently it can be a factor.
