MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Hi - I'd again like to request thoughts from the experts on this forum. I just got an email from Enterolab suggesting that I also have a fat malabsorption test done now (at a reduced fee since I've already given my sample), and since my gluten results are above the normal range. I do not have fatty ...

I'm taking Country Life - Chelated Magnesium, 250 mg capsules - 2 per day, so 500 mg total per day. The bottle says: Magnesium (as magnesium oxide, magnesium amino acid chelate, rice flour base). Is this right? recommendations appreciated!

Thanks Gabes, I started taking 250 mg. magnesium AM and PM after reading on this forum. I'm currently taking Metagenics Wellness Essentials Healthy Balance with targeted blood sugar support - it's a packet of several pills, recommended by my integrative health physician. I think it is helping, along...

Thanks so much Tex and Gabes for your insights. Yes, I plan to be completely gluten free indefinitely. Per your suggestions, I will stay away from dairy for a few more weeks in hopes that I get more substantial stools. If things remain "less than substantial" for long, I'll remove the raw ...

Hi all, In recap, I was diagnosed with LC (sudden onset) about 7 weeks ago. No prior symptoms or intestinal issues before, but my 3-4 weeks of D was very intense. The doctor told me that the colonoscopy results showed that I had a "mild case" (sure didn't feel like it at the time - D 20-30...

Hi again - I've been on Budesonide for 2 weeks (3 tablets per day). The prescription goes for 30 days. My next follow up appointment with my GI doctor is set for a week after my 30 day course of Budesonide ends. I called his office asking if I am supposed to taper down the dosage (due to what I've r...

Hi all - I've ordered your book Tex, and am looking forward to reading it. I've started magnesium and upped my D intake. I've cut out gluten and casein (still working on figuring out how to identify these ingredients in everything)! I'm 2 weeks on Budesonide and feel great, but I do get a few hints ...

Jean and Tex - thanks so much for the comments. I realize that I am in partial shock because of how sudden this has happened, but I am a realist, so I can quickly get over my shock! What if I go gluten and casein free immediately, and once I go off the meds, keep that up and see how I feel? I can de...

Hi everyone - I just re-read this post, and I apologize in advance for being so wordy. But it is nice to get this all out... I was diagnosed about 10 days ago with Microscopic Lymphocytic Colitis. I have been reading here on the forum and also on the Foundation Website. I must be in the "denial...
