MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Hi Marcia, I had the chewable tablets but broke them in half and swallowed with water….. it’s definitely gotten worse the last week after stopping the pepto.

Permanent was something I was hoping to avoid but if it is I hope I too can get used to it…. Thanks Tex, I hope you’re doing well.

Hi all, I did about a month of the Pepto protocol, stopped because I was noticing a grey tinge to my tongue and, more concerning a mild ringing in one ear. Now three weeks later the ringing in that ear is worse. Can anyone hazard a guess if this will be permanent, or maybe (hopefully) fade with time...

Thanks Laine! Safe trip!!

Thanks, Tex. I really didn’t think I could possibly get a definitive answer but I always appreciate your knowledge and perspective. I was diagnosed two + years ago and although things are somewhat better, I wouldn’t call it stable or remission. 🙁 My hormones were already out of whack (menopause), my...

I’ll have to look for that!

I want to give collagen a try to help my gut but I see most are made from beef or pork. I have a sensitivity to both (Tex suggested having one or the other no more often than every third day).

Is it safe to assume that I should avoid collagen that is made from beef or pork?

Thanks Kari!! I'm so hopeful!

I was pleasantly surprised when I showed the pharmacist the GoodRX coupon code she just wrote the numbers down, ran it through and off I went! Yippee!

Good luck!

Hey y’all! Just wanted to let you know I got my script ( BUDESONIDE EC 3MG CAPSULE) today.... I hope that’s the right stuff!

I went through GoodRX and the cost was $70 for 90 pills.

Hahaha, I don't know Tex, you seem pretty snappy and quick to me! :grin: Oh, I so need the reminders! Thank you! I actually stopped taking both to see if it would have any beneficial effect on my getting into remission. No change and I forgot to start taking them again! (I have a spray Magnesium tha...

You're up early, Tex!

Good news then as my Primary was worried about me taking a steroid during COVID19 and the additional risks while flying. So my system should hold strong until after I'm done traveling, whew!

Thanks!!

Follow-up: My primary came through with the script for Budesonide! She does want me to follow up with a GI though, which I'm not thrilled about. Either go to the old GI, who's practice I don't care for but they have my information, or go to a new GI who will probably want to run all their own tests....

Kari, that's great that you have a new lease on life!! I'm hoping for the same. I've tried and if not for this upcoming trip would continue on my present path. But, I confess, I'm looking forward to feeling 'more normal' in the Norman sense of the word.

Tex, I made a donation to the foundation. It's not much but a token of my appreciation for all of your help. <3
Thank you!

Tex, you are a Godsend! (as always) I wish I could take you to my Dr's appt with me. :smile: :wink: The PA's eyes got very wide at the thought of someone being on a steroid for 6 months, I bet you could have explained it all to her. I feel like Dr's are placating (an inwardly rolling their eyes) whe...
