MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

The first time I took it, my WD stopped after the first 72 hours of taking the first 3 capsules.

I've also been taking Glucosamine chondroitin for the past 10 years. It helped up until a year ago when it seemed to stop. Although I continue to take it, my arthritis pain has increased in my knee and hip joints. I took Meloxicam which helped, however, I believe that this medication triggered my LC...

If I travel this summer, are there any tips for eating out that you can share? Any chain food haunts that serve gluten free meals?

I see where wine is problematic. I have avoided red wine bc of sulfites for decades. However, what the verdict on an occasional vodka dirty martini with olives?

After my initial diagnoses of LC, I researched the disease and found statements that NSAIDs and statins are "linked" to developing LC. Once I shared this with my internist, she advised my discontinuing the prescribed Meloxicam, Ibprofen, and Lipitor. Unfortunately, my arthritic knee and hi...
