MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Tex, Thanks again. I did eat a hamburger tonight thanks to you!! And I do have a neighbor who has offered to give me some venison. I sure am looking forward to that “getting my life back” thing. Even at age 71!! I have your book (one of them) and need to go read it again. I tend not to retain inform...

Tex, Thank you ever so much for responding to all my questions! :grin: I think one of the hardest things for me is the feeling of isolation. Also the temptation to go off my diet, when others around me are eating the things I would like to eat but can’t. One of the reasons I FINALLY got the Enterola...

Tex, Thanks!!

Hi All, It has been some time since I’ve posted (maybe March I think). After I was diagnosed with LC, I did not go back to the gastroenterologist since she wanted to put me on Budesonide (sp.?) and I was more interested in treating my colitis with diet. I have cataracts and that was one reason I did...

Gabes, I have read many of your posts while browsing on the forum, and I am definitely grateful for all the information and inspiration you provide! Thanks for being your wonderful self!! Judi

Tex, Thank you for putting my mind at ease about the supplements, and the link about traveling with MC. You are a treasure!

Thanks Tex and Erica for your input. I am interested in doing the topical magnesium....the Life Flo sounds good as I think I read another post that said it gets more into your system than the Ancient Minerals. I am so confused regarding the issues of having to have the right ratios of mag, d3 and ca...

I have stopped taking oral supplements since I understand that they are basically not doing anything for me while my microscopic colitis is active. I have been reading here that you can get the magnesium from oils or lotions, but what brand (is Ancient Minerals a good one) and how much do you spray ...

Hi Tex, Thanks for the links, I will read those. I am definitely going to be strict with my diet as soon as I can get some ideas on what to eat. I am making bone broth tonight. Your point about the stress level is something that I am struggling to get under control. I have to say that being part of ...

Hi Tex, Thanks so much for your reply. I have much to learn about what is in different foods, like the casein in butter that you mentioned. Is the elimination diet on the forum somewhere? I will enter that in the search. I think I read somewhere that soy is in many things. Is it under a sneaky name?...

Hi all, I’m not sure this is where I should post, but here goes: First of all, I am relieved to find this board. I have been reading posts and I have the book on MC. I was recently diagnosed with lymphocytic colitis following a colonoscopy. I am 70. Looking back, I think I may have had problems with...
