MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Hi Everyone, I can need some insight. I've had CC for 4 years and in all those years I have never had diarrhea this bad, the stool is different too. I was in remission, doing great, no drugs involved for about 2 months, it was absolutely AMAZING! Remission is possible! Then out of nowhere, I got a n...

I've just started cholestyramine...I'm giving it a try. I'm into day two and notice mucus in my stool. Anyone else have this? I'm not excited about the stories I've heard that it damages teeth and thins hair... Anyway, my question is, does this product help heal the intestine or does it just help wi...

I All, in a bit of a flare. I've had CC since January 2016. I've tried diet changes, budesonide, Zyrtec, and Pepto. Petpt has so far been the best, however my labs have recently indicated my kidney's aren't functioning as well and my Igg has dropped. Tried reducing Pepto to 1 pill a day and now have...

Thanks for the insight Tex and the quick reply! Much appreciated!! I'm going try to prevent high-histamine situations from developing via diet before I try DAO. You helped. Thank you.

Tex, your book is great! I am learning SO much!! In fact, I think I might have found the root cause of my health issues... before MC...which seems to point at histamine. Makes total sense with my experiences. So we'll see. THANK YOU!! I have two questions: 1- I was wondering what your thoughts were ...

I am SO grateful for this forum! Thank you for your help in all this. Step by step.

Hi Gabes, thanks for your quick response. Yes, I'm taking 6000 mg of D3 with 100 mg of magnesium (Doctor's Best)...maybe I need more D and magnesium? I didn't want to overdo it with magnesium, but my calves cramp every now and then when I'm sleeping. Ideas? As for B vitamins, I just got some blood w...

Hello MC family. I have a question for you "CC'ers". I was diagnosed July 2017. At first I refused to go on a steroid so I 'managed' my symptoms with diet changes (no gluten, no dairy, no soy, no eggs, no oats, no corn, no almonds, no tuna, reduced sugar) and with Pepto occasionally. Did o...

Thank you Tex! This forum has seriously helped me. I thank God for it. You're the best. And thank you for your insight!!

3 weeks ago I had a run in with gluten. Thought the grilled chicken at Culvers was gluten free….not so. Woke up at 3:00 am, extremely dizzy, thought I was going to throw-up. Sweated like crazy, got chills. Awful. After a few BMs the next day I felt better, but very tired… Weird thing is that after t...

Thank you everyone, I learned things I didn't know. This is very encouraging. You all gave me a dose of hope, which is all I really need to push forward. Thanks again.

Hi All, was wondering if anyone knew how the antibodies affect our healing? I was diagnosed with CC this past August. Had Entero Lab work. Gluten was 86 units. All others were 13 or below. I have eliminated gluten and have been gluten free since August. I'm still having symptoms...not as bad but I s...

Thank you Tex, much appreciated.

Thanks Tex. Yes it does help. Can you recommend a vitamin or the vitamins we need? Right now I'm taking B12, 4000 mg D3, Garden of Life Raw One for Women.

Hi all, I was diagnosed with Collagenous Colitis back in June 2017, had symptoms for 2 years but not severe, gastro thought it was IBS. Finally got a colonoscopy...MC. Long story short, I'm trying to heal my gut without steroids...there are reasons. I did complete the Pepto Bismol treatment in Sept....
