MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Regarding your question "Do you get good relief, and good sleep... ". All I know is that I've tried to quit SSRI three times in my life, and always end up with insomnia. This time I started with the withdrawal in September 2022, after multiple reductions, with about 50% of the full dose (i...

Regarding magnesium I want to point that I have creatinine at 1.48 and GFR at 60. Values have been getting worse little by little. Is this related to magnesium? They used image testing to check the state of kidneys but they didn't find anything.

Thanks Tex..
but my sleep ocd is killing me, I didn't sleep this whole year and I have an important conflict with this.
I don't know what to do, regarding MC, what are my chances if I continue on SSRI? Is there some similar case?

Hi Tex and Gabes, I continue fighting anxiety and the withdrawal of SSRI. It's been a year and now I'm taking 40% of the pill. I'm using magnesium and folinic acid (mthfr) at small doses to improve wellbeing. I'm following the stage0 diet with no luck. At this point I've lost a lot of weight and I h...

Hi everyone!
As I continue taking cholestyramine, and it interferes with magnesium absoption (I take doctor best glycinate), Is it better to take it with food (and cholestyramine) or taking it on an empty stomach with plenty of water and no cholestyramine interference.

Thanks!

Hi hey ya'll.
How are you doing?
Is your digestive system improving?

wow, that sounds good, it encourages me. I'm glad you are improving. And despite being so soon you've already noticed digestive improve, that's awesome! I suspect that, in my case, antidepressant withdrawal has been so resistant (even I tried several times during this years) because of underlying ma...

Hi hey ya'll , how are you doing with the withdrawal? I'm very interested about the MC evolution for members on SSRI. By the way, Tex, why do you consider Wellbutrin the safest? I'm just curious about the working mechanisims of the immune system, not thinking about taking any drug. I wonder why PPI ...

Update:
after some weeks of my last ssri reduction, now at 50% of the full dose, I'm starting to feel better, I can sleep again.
I will take a couple of weeks or so to recover and get stronger, and I will continue with the withdrawal.

I have MTHFR, the c677T homozygous variant. I discovered it a week ago after testing with 23andme. As I said in another topic, I'm trying to figure out what is the connection with MC, Histamine issues and Depression/Anxiety (serotonin production). For me, this makes a lot of sense, because during my...

Sorry for the confusion Tex, I meant 5-Hydroxytryptophan (5htp). I want to know the difference between 5htp and SSRI regarding MC. And talking of Mthfr, my concerning about this is: how can I tell the difference between over or under methylation? I was reading your messages here and I'm confused: ht...

Thanks for your response Tex! Mthfr seems to be a very complex topic, and I want to keep things simple. Let's see if anyone could add some more info. Regarding magnesium, some weeks ago I read your Magtein experiment in the newsletter, Tex, and I've started to combine it with Doctor's Best. I contin...

Adding results by Promethease

Hi everyone, Just an update: I'm stucked with SSRI reduction. It's been 3 months, now at 50% of the full dose I'm struggling with strong Insomnia and anxiety. I cannot continue with the withdrawal this way... Also I've received 23andme results. I can see something wrong with MTHFR but I don't unders...

Everything you are telling to me is very useful Tex.
So many of us have mthrf genes? wow
Many times looked at 23andme because I've always had the feeling of being "different". Maybe I should try it, now it's at 50%
