MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Thank you Tex. Also, sorry for the multiple posts!

Hello. I am about to order the tests from enterolab for A1 and C1 panels. I was wondering if anyone has over ordered any of the other tests that would show malabsorption/malnutrition and if it’s worth doing.

Ugh, that first response was for Sue. Stupid autocorrect!

Wow She, that's very interesting. I think I'd like to try that! Connie - I have also dealt with depression and anxiety for years. My husband has had mild anxiety for several years after a stroke, and all three of my kids have it too. Each of us takes something different. It can sometimes take a whil...

I'm so sorry to hear that, Mo. I hope at the very least your LC will get under control soon!

Hi Dorothy, I agree with you on the diet. My problem is the nausea. I thought about going back on the steroid since it helped my nausea, but I'm afraid it will cause constipation now. Therefore, I plan to stick to just the diet.

Hi Mo - I started with eliminating gluten, dairy and soy while adding the magnesium glycinate and Vitamin D.

Hope that helps

That's where I got mine done but no one said to avoid supplements.

Well I will cross my fingers and hope that's what is going on

Thank you Tex and Gabes. This sure is a tricky disease to figure out.

Is it fairly common to have a normal bm but not be in remission yet?

Ok, this is really weird, but I haven't been having a lot of bms and when I did they were diarrhea. Last night, however, I had a normal bm. I still feel horrible and my stomach is very rumbly, although the nausea doesn't seem as drastic. I am completely confused now. I don't want to go back on budes...

Hey, Tex - I'm going to respond to your post on the other thread that I was unintentionally taking over :oops: (sorry Brandy!) I have been taking the 2000iu of vitD and the 200mg of magnesium daily. I was afraid to take too much and have excessive amounts. I also started drinking a small amount of G...

Thanks, Tex. I was trying to fix things through diet alone, but if I can't eat or prepare the meat/bone broth I don't think I'm doing any good. You did tell me about those being the symptoms of magnesium deficiency which is why I had it tested. My pcp didn't know what the skin test for magnesium was...

Hi all, I could use some advice regarding treatment... I think I'm going to ask my pcp to put me on entocort again since my nausea is so bad I can't really eat much and don't feel like I'm doing my body any favors. When the GI put me on it it helped immediately with the diarrhea and nausea but my bl...

Hi Tex, I am not eating any vegetables except the occasional cooked carrots and I avoid the Sun. I don't seem to be having many bms at all, but when I do it's usually the explosive diarrhea. I'm eating very little due to nausea which is why I asked for the test in the first place. When I do eat, I t...
