MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Anyone tested positive for this? If so, what did you do? So far the only things I have read that is done for it are "triple therapy" and mastic gum. Any experience with these? I had a CDSA done from Metametrix, and my H. pylori levels were high. Oddly, there was no candida overgrowth which...

I've been doing some reading about the different antibodies and am I understanding it right that IgG rxns are permanent? I've heard that delayed food sensitivities are usually transient and will disappear if you avoid a food for a length of time. Is it that if you fix the leaky gut, then the protein...

Thanks Tex! That's the information I was looking for.

Can the hyphae form invade the tight junctions of the intestinal tract or is it too large? I had someone from another message board tell me that it was too large to actually invade the tight junctions itself, but cellular bits and pieces could basically hold them open. I think that the TJs are inapp...

{{{{{HUGE HUGS}}}}} Pat, you have really been through a lot and come a long way! WOW! You deserve to vent all you want and need to. I agree with Tex, that sharing your struggles and triumphs here will serve to help others as well. I learn so much here from reading the forums and even some of the old...

That is so touching! Sounds like you are very close. That sounds like the best mother's day present ever! I want a really close relationship with my daughter. Hubby said what he wants for father's day is DD's smile .

Good point Tex about changing it messing with the poll results. Then maybe there could be a clarification on the option for "serious dental problems." Wisdom tooth removal is considered almost routine by many people since so many people have it done. Although, that alone could skew results...

Marsha, that's great that you are doing so well on the sublingual. How do sublingual supplements compare to transdermal in safety? I know the oral present problems. I took oral progesterone when I was having problems with miscarriages (MC and didn't know it) and the doc put me oral progesterone. I f...

Thanks for that information. Maybe the poll could be expanded to include pulled/extracted teeth and extracted wisdom teeth before or after MC onset. There are some who believe incorrectly removed teeth can set up the same sort of focal infection scenario as root canals, due to the periodontal ligame...

Kat, Welcome to the forum. I'm fairly new here too and the people here are very helpful. Glad you found someone who would do the biopsies and that you got an answer. Tex, That is really interesting about the mycobacterium. I went to do some reading about them, and those are some scary buggers! Have ...

grannyh, I hear you about the price of dental work! Definitely the cost of cars for sure! I have had one root canal. It was done in late 1989 or 1990 I can't remember which. I started getting nerve pain in 1997. I more than likely had something going on in my gut for at least a short while before th...

I'm so sorry guys! I wasn't trying to scare anyone. I certainly wouldn't recommend people go yanking teeth out just yet, either. The field of biological dentistry is certainly a controversial one among physicians and dentists alike. I still think they have some very interesting information though. I...

That is so cool! I'm happy you'll get to enjoy them again this year. I love hummingbirds!

This is a great conversation. I wonder if HRT of any type that leans more towards the estrogen with less progesterone would increase the likelyhood of an MC flair. I've always noticed that my bowel symptoms and pain symptoms are usually worse during the first half of my menstrual cycle when estrogen...

Tex, that is really interesting -- and... of course confusing :lol: . I've wondered about the pathogen theory of inflammatory bowel diseases myself. It seems we do get some autoimmune-like symptoms, but they may just be mimicks and not actually be autoimmune and like you said be normal reactions to ...
