MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Are you taking probiotics? An earlier post of mine had a link to a Science Daily report on how certain probiotics can actually cause bloating by producing lots of lactic acid. Here is that link again: Probiotic use can result in a significant accumulation of bacteria in the small intestine that can...

You mentioned bloated. Have you been checked for Sibo (Small Intestinal Bacteria Overgrowth)? Bloating is one of the big signs of that. There is a specific antibiotic to take to get rid of Sibo as well as a natural remedy. If you look online for the Low Fodmap Diet which is recommended if you have ...

There are of course no "scientific" studies of the carnivore diet. Like here on the forum however there are lots of n=1 testimonials to its effectiveness. Anecdotes might not be science but they do at least build a compelling case for an all meat diet not being dangerous. The most scienti...

I was told when I was first diagnosed in June 2014 by my Naturopath , No grains, gluten, dairy or soy even though I did not test positive for any of these as far as an allergic reaction. Basically I follow the Paleo Diet for the most part. I also had Sibo so there were veggies that really stir that...

I am thinking of trying the carnivore diet for a month. I am in remission but I still have a chronic pain issue and an issue with mild depression (it used to be severe) and there have been suggestions that an all meat diet can help clear these kinds of things up. I figure trying it for a month can'...

Hello all, The so-called "carnivore diet" has been getting some buzz lately. Essentially, it involves eating only meat, water and salt. People that follow it claim it eliminates (or at least reduces) autoimmune issues, etc. I think there is a bit of a "fad" element here, and very...

The main cause of insufficient stomach acid is aging. I believe gastric acid production peaks when we are in our late 20's or early 30's and declines steadily after that. You can treat it with the proper dose of Betaine HCL. To find the proper dose, you can follow the directions for regulating Beta...

I wonder if it could be insufficient stomach acid. Bloating is usually a sign of poor digestion. If you're not eating anything that causes the production of antibodies, it could just be a sign of insufficient stomach acid. When food is in the stomach too long (because of insufficient acid), it tend...

Thanks for the explanation. I have a similar problem: almost every food makes be look pregnant (and it really sticks out, because I am an athletic person with little fat on my body). I've tried so hard to figure out what foods cause the bloat (or what remedies can be used to eliminate it), but have ...

Thanks for weighing in. "Normans" mean normal bowel movements, right? Strange that it constipated you. Have you found ANY foods that don't cause bloating? It's been a real struggle for me.

Hi all, I'm one of those that that is in "remission" (in the sense that I am not on drugs to control MC), but to stay there, I cannot tolerate most foods (grains, dairy, raw veges, etc.). But for some reason, when I eat a good quantity of popcorn (made from scratch without all the fillers,...

Hi all, With careful diet and many of the other tips suggested on this webpage, I went into remission (and got of entocourt) after about a year after diagnosis. Unfortunately, after nearly 2 years of remission, it appears I've relapsed (stress and a few too many instances of cheating on my diet). Do...

I have found the KAL brand Saccharomyces Boulardii (being GF, DF, SF, EF) are working nicely for me as a probiotic. Some tend to need it at different stages in their MC journey, I'm at that stage right now (into this healing 3 years now). I am no expert and have no idea if this is correct, but I wo...

that is definitely from reading Grain Brain. His protocol is these anti-inflammatory supplements of which I need to skip turmeric because I tried the pills once and was not easy on my gut.(a little of the spice in cooking doesn't seem to hurt) Also, probiotics, but too hard to find any DF. Then he ...

Tex, I just don't how you manage to tend your huge flock so well, but thank you. You are always there for all of us. I'm at the point where I'm about ready to order DHA, Alpha Lipoic Acid, and Reservatrol, and then to cut carbs. I already use a lot of coconut oil, so shouldn't be a huge problem for...
