MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Vanessa I have been on ReMag for @ 3 weeks and have slowly worked my way up to 1 3/4 tsp in a quart of water. I too have gerd and am on Prilosec. I have tried to wean myself off of Prilosec in the past taking another med that is not a SSRI. It did not help the reflux and after suffering for about 1...

It has been quite a long time since I last posted @ Remag. I have since purchased Dr. Carolyn Dean's Total Completement Program for Total Body Melt Down. In the beginning I put the ReMag in a spray bottle and used it in that form transdermally. I later switched to orally with a little Himalayan sea ...

nsaidcolitis I can feel your pain. I recently stopped taking Prilosec and was taking Pepsid instead since it is a H2 receptor.... It is not working for me. I have reflux after every meal and when trying to sleep. I am really thinking of taking Prilosec again. I don't know how much longer I can stand...

On my first day of trying the ReMag, I became nauseous that night. I also felt that salt taste in my nose and throat all day long. I am reluctant to try it again even with a dropper to measure it.

I started on ReMag to day, (very small amount) maybe 1/4 capfull in a pint of water. I am finding that it has a salty taste. (I didn't add any sea salt to my water- which you are advised to do) Has anyone else tasted this too.

Thanks!

Thanks Gabes for your quick reply
Now I can go about ordering some.
I was wondering about probiotics. I seem to recollect reading that you shouldn't take them until you are healed. Not sure, if I am remembering correctly.

Can I take vitamin D3 and Magnesium or do I have to wait until I am in remission? Since I read patients find that taking a significant daily dose of D3 (up to 10,000 IU) can help to reduce acid reflux problems, and I am weaning myself off PPI, I am anxious to start. BTW, I will start the elimination...

Gabes, That was a very enlightening article link you posted on Hashimoto and gluten.

After the gut heals, can you ever resume eating gluten and other foods that your are currently sensitive to in the future?

Thanks Tex for the information and your quick response. I plan to start the elimination diet after we come back from our planned cruise in Jan. BTW, Your book on miroscopic colitis came in the mail today. Looking forward to reading it. I feel like a sponge soaking up all this new information. I also...

What about vitaman B12 supplementation? I read on these boards: Vitamin B-12 (the preferred form is the active form, known as methylcobalamin, and the preferred delivery is by sublingual lozenges, which can be dissolved under the tongue, so that the B-12 can be directly absorbed into the bloodstream...

Tex, No doctor has never mentioned the FDA warning about PPIs and magnesium deficiency to me. I was looking into purchasing magnesium glyconate. Perhaps in the liquid spray form, since I think I read that the oral form is not readily absorbed by MC sufferers. I don't know how much to start with- I w...

Did anyone get there doctor's approval before starting on magnesium glyconate. I have been on proton pump inhibitor - Prilosec for years for GERD. I now have MC for several years. I had also been taking a lot of Motrin for knee pain before realizing that Prilosec and NSAID can lead to MC. Also a sta...
