MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Hello all, I received the results from the GI on some testing and it turns out I tested positive for C. Diff. Started Vancocin on Friday.

Hello all, I have been experiencing a pain on my left side since Friday, on and off on the weekend and steady ever since. It is on the left side about belly button hip bone level. I thought maybe it is musculoskeletal, but I can't really tell where the pain is coming from exactly. I went the FNP yes...

Hello group, Anyone had issues with low blood pressure? I have been feeling really dizzy and light headed past week or so. Called the gastro see if it was a side effect of the budesonide, the gastro said it should not be caused by the budesonide. I am at 3mg every day unless I have C then I skip a d...

Hello Gabes, I was also "a foodie, drank wine while preparing meals and was a bit of a dance on the tables party girl!!!," along with my entire family. It has been quite the lifestyle change simmering all that down. I have had to work hard and change my thinking to be ok with parting with ...

I am sure I have been low on magnesium for years, just didn't know it. After all this, I expect to be super healthy with all the lifestyle changes, which are certainly for the better anyway.

That morning I had not taken anything, but the day before had taken my supplements as usual.

Thanks Tex for all your input!! Shockingly, I did get the Magnesium, RBC test with my levels being 2.1 mmol/L the conversion would be 5.103 mg/dL. (I went to a functional nurse pract to help me out some, since the GI just wants me to stay on budesonide for a year and not change anything else, insert...

Hello All, Just have a few questions for you all. I have had bags and dark circles since all this. Is that from the budesonide or just the CC or am I just getting old? LOL I also have a to get a tooth capped, is there any issues with getting that done? I am so worried something is going to set me ba...

Hi Tex,

Yes I read that somewhere on here. I am currently taking 400 mg, started that a few weeks ago.

I started on my on my recovery from all this mess back in late October, it is probably from the chronic gastritis. I started GF about a month ago and sending off for EnteroLab next week so hoping that will give me more answers on what to avoid! I have made major improvements from where I started, st...

Hello Connie, For my breakfast smoothies I use one banana, dark chocolate collagen peptides, almond or walnut milk, spoonful of almond butter, sometimes a flax oil, and a little ice. This is easy for me to make and head off to work! I also remain pretty nauseated all the time and the smoothie seems ...
