MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Hello All,

I recently discovered this start up, created by a team of people with multiple food allergies. Like us, their actual allergies and intolerances are each different from each other. Even the free version is helpful with grocery shopping.

Hope this helps!

Congratulations on your new baby Sonia!

Hello Sonja, The numbness in your fingertips could be a sign of Raynauds. I’ve had it for years, as have my siblings. It is usually an annoying, but not dangerous vascular overreaction to cold temperatures. It is more common in people with other autoimmune conditions. Here is a description: https://...

I have found a Gastroenterologist in a small town in central California who actually believes that diet can help control Microcsopic Colitis: Dr Igor Nastaskin Santa Maria Gastroenterology http://gisantamaria.com He suggests: Strictly Gluten free Avoiding processed foods as many of the minor ingredi...

Hello All, I am finally back to normal…. Well, MC normal anyway. I still monitor my food, and don’t eat out, but I can leave the house without much worry. No miracles, but I do have my life back. I thank all of you in this forum as I read it every day for tips and knowledge. I have learned so much f...

Thank you Tex, Good point, it is very logical that my symptoms would be more consistent if it were due to an infection. I’ll continue to slowly manage this flare with minimal diet choices. As to your question about remission, I choose to believe that I have been in remission for three years. That do...

I am confused. The two days just before I decided to “share the flare” with our forum last week had been awful. Then, the next four days after posting were so good I thought I’d solved it with diet changes and that I had finally figured out the new intolerance. Then I had two days of terrible GI pai...

Hello again, No new symptoms beyond WD after every meal instead of mornings about an hour after the first meal of the day. I just tried eliminating almond butter/almond flour, and had a better day today, so fingers crossed that could be the new intolerance. Thank you for your support Tex. You are ve...

Thanks for your support Tex, I have removed suspected foods, one by one, hoping I could figure out what food that used to be safe ove the past three years is now triggering a reaction. For the past two days, everything I eat causes a reaction, even after Imodium (so I could leave the house.) If I do...

Hello All, I have been back in a full flare for about a month, with increasing symptoms for about two months. Thanks to all of you, I know exactly what to do! Except it is not working this time. For history, I was diagnosed in December of 2018 and went into remission with Budesonide and diet changes...

A history of asthma or food allergies may actually help prevent covid? Comforting or confusing?

Sorry to hear you had a reaction Sonia! I remember morning sickness. Nausea plus “D” sounds miserable! Yes, a reaction can happen that quickly. Even within an hour. I wonder if it was the sesame seeds—either the food itself or perhaps just too much fiber? Nuts and seeds can be too much in early days...

Hello again,

Have you tried banana chips? I was able to eat a few even before I could tolerate a fresh banana. Can you tolerate any nut butters? Your Enterolab results indicated that walnut butter might work for you,

Hello Sonia, Congratulations on your pregnancy! I remember morning sickness and am so sorry you have to deal with that on top of MC. I don’t have many ideas on what to eat as it is so early in your MC journey. Can you stand any simple protein at all? Have you tried other vegetable chips such as the ...

Disneyland is one of the best places to find food in spite of intolerances. They take food allergies VERY seriously as they serve so many people. Disney has an entire section about food allergies on their website and there are also several helpful blogs about dining at Disney by parents of children ...
