MCR, I too am a success story. I check in with the Forum every month or so to learn and see if I can offer any help. My life has essentially returned to normal with the exception that I avoid all gluten and limit dairy. I have been accidentally "poisoned" 3 times in the last 6 months. Each...

Ok. You have convinced me. I will stay away from gluten.
And I can't believe I am saying this: I can't wait for my next colonoscopy! (that's just sick!!)

(and I never thought I would ever be able to say that again.) Here's the synopsis: - Symptoms started end of March/beginning of April 2017. - Diagnosed w...

Tex, You certainly know your stuff. I am impressed! I have been taking a D2 supplement for a few years in conjunction with synthroid for hypothyroid condition. So it looks like my vitamin D levels are OK with my current supplement, but I need more magnesium. I will start the ReMag! My doctor also to...

Selective IGA deficiency, vitamin D and magnesium results

Hello again, My GI doctor was not at all helpful in getting the lab tests done. the message I received from the doctor's office was (and this is a direct quote from the email) "Tell her to go see her PCP. I won't treat her for that." My primary care physician was wonderful! She even did so...

Gabes, I will certainly post in the member success section, but it has only been a month and I am not so sure I am out of the woods yet! Give me another month or two of continued success and I will tell my story. I am still in shock that I was able to go from sickness, cramps, nausea, lack of appeti...

Thank you Brandy. No WD or ribbon stool anymore. Maybe I will try a bit here and there if I am not slowing the healing down.

The only fresh fruits/veggies I eat are bananas and avocados. My insurance company wouldn't pay for the...

Tex, Thank you for your response. I will ask my doctor to order the blood test. I just googled selective IgA deficiency. I will confess that I am having a hard time understanding it all! What are the implications of selective IgA deficiency and diet? Are you suggesting that the EnteroLabs test resul...
