MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Sorry I haven't joined back in for a while. Life has been super busy as of late since return from trip to Europe. I did want to take a moment to send out a HUGE thank you for all the thoughtful advice in helping me prepare for my trip to Europe!!! So, the trip went SO much better than I thought (wit...

I have gotten adventuresome lately with my veggies and surpringly found that I can tolerate onions and spring onions. Green and colored peppers appear to do ok as well. I found I was staying away from trying based on discussions but I was missing so badly I decided I would start testing adding back ...

One more question for the trip. My doctor did call in a prescription for me for a type of budesonide. It is a 60 day supply at 9 mg each. I have been improving and seem to be doing relatively well on the stage one diet currently (fingers crossed as it seems that can change at the drop of a dime). An...

Patricia, Thanks so much for all your detailed advice. I am truly humbled with how helpful everyone has been. I feel much calmer about the prospects of this trip. I even tried going out to eat this last weekend for our anniversary and tried out the "To the Chef Card" so I could see how tha...

Much easier read that the actual research article. Thanks for posting. Agree with Gabe as well on the diet / lifestyle modifications / nutrition. I am actually really missing my CSA veggies as I relied very heavily on lots of local fresh fruits and veggies in my diet before the full blown onset of M...

Thanks, Gabe.

Based on number of sprays of the Mg oil I am applying, I should be at about 400 mg of elemental Mg a day currently. I will look to get specific B and C's.

Thanks again,

Erika

Hi DB - I am not taking Cholestyramine. Thanks, Vanessa, for your input. That doesn't confuse the issue. It actually helps. I figured the "zaps" were from coming off the SSRI but did not think it would linger. And, I think I will stick with the the topical Mg for now and try work my way sl...

http://science.sciencemag.org/content/356/6333/29 I was catching up with my brother on my new diet to control MC and he said that the latest Science Magazine highlighted some interesting new research "How infection can incite sensitivity to food" Above the link to the general abstract. Thi...

Sorry to hear you are getting the shakes and hope it gets under control soon. I actually have been experiencing similar symptoms of lightheaded sort of dizziness. Hard to explain but feels almost like a very subtle electric shock in the head. I thought this was due a side effect of tapering off an S...

Thank you! I had found this recipe when I first was went to the site but could not it since. I am not sure I have fully figured out the best way to search for topics in the archives. https://nuunlife.com/products/nuun-active/ I looked at nuun's website above. TI used the active tabs for working out ...

Does anyone else have issues with maintaining energy levels for exercising? I play tennis and took a break while MC conditions were particularly bad over the winter. I just tried playing again and found my energy level to be very low. I know I was struggling with getting used to the new Stage 1 diet...

Thanks so much for all the very helpful replies. I hadn't even thought about minute rice, so I went out and got some to experiment with to see if the hot water strategy would work on the plane or later in the hotels. Does anyone have a recommended salmon in the pouch that doesn't contain soy? I've l...

Hi Everyone, This is officially my first post to the discussion board. I am so glad and thankful to have found this group! I have been diligently reading and quietly following along, searching the archives for hours and trying to better educate myself about MC. I have been following following Stage ...
