MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Owl… My apologies for the late response to your post. Lots going on in my life these days. I don’t have time right now to give a detailed update but I will address your question on the success of Dr Fine’s protocol. Prior to starting Fine’s protocol, I had been experiencing D multiple times a day, e...

Delightful, Jan! Glad you're enjoying this simple, easy-to-make soup. BTW, you can add carrots to the mix if you want. I do that sometimes just for a change. Or you can substitute carrots for one of the other veggies if you want to give that a try. As you have discovered, you don't need onions for f...

You don’t need any onions to make a very tasty squash soup. Here’s my recipe for a soup that I've been eating every day for lunch for the past year. (And I still enjoy it! So does my hubby.) Ingredients: 3-4 lbs butternut squash, peeled, seeded, cut into chunks 3-4 lbs sweet potatoes, peeled, cut in...

Thanks for all the tips, Brandy and HockeyMom. Very much appreciated. If I continue to have solid stools over the next 3-4 days, I'll then try one of the veggies suggested. I thought cauliflower would be a good one to start with, but you say not. So I'll start with green beans. Good tip about combin...

Hi folks, It’s been a while since I posted. Just as I was about to do an update, I came down with an upper respiratory infection (not Covid) and I was miserable for almost two weeks. Back on my feet now and almost 100%. I’ve been plagued by this recurring infection for the past year. This was the fi...

The penguins are just a rough indication of the number of posts written by each member. If I recall correctly, one has to write 50 posts before they will receive their first penguin. Ground lamb is probably the best choice for getting started with lamb, so that you can gain some experience with it ...

In responding to Tex’s post, I was about to ask a stupid question on coloured potatoes. Wanted to know if he was referring to the flesh or the skin. However, before I submitted this post, I saw Brandy’s and so I have my answer. I’m going to try your suggestions with the red and gold skin ones. Didn’...

Tex – Thanks for the clarification. That may very well be the case with Dr Fine. Brandy – I did find a brand of coconut water, sans C, at a health food store. And it actually tastes better than the brand I had been buying. Day 4 on the new diet and I’m feeling challenged with what cuts of my allowab...

Janie, Hello fellow afibber! Congratulations on being in NSR for 9 years. I had an index ablation in August 2019 that went off the rails 2 days later. Second ablation in February this year and so far so good. Hope to stay in rhythm as long as you have and hopefully longer! But you never know with th...

Brandy – Thanks for the tips. I’ll try the rose hip tea. Never heard of it before. Not sure about yellow bell peppers right now. I think I’ll hold off and try them a little later down the road. Dark meat turkey is one of my favourites, so it’s good to know it’s a source of taurine. I don’t eat shell...

It looks great! Thanks so much, Tex. Appreciate your perseverance.

Well that bit of news really sucks! Had I known this before I started Dr Fine’s protocol, I doubt now that I would have done so. Now I have a dilemma. Do I stop or carry on? My knee-jerk reaction after reading your post this afternoon, Tex, was to stop immediately. I’m still considering that. But th...

This image is becoming too much trouble and not worth your spending any more time on it.

I'll email you another photo to try. Hopefully, it will be better suited for making an avatar. BTW, what constitutes a well-suited image for making an avatar?

Thanks for the additional info, Tex. Coffee is not a problem for most of us. Unless your decaf version has added ingredients, it should be OK, too. Pure teas should be OK, as long as they don't contain an artificial sweetener. Good to know decaf should be okay, even instant. I buy Mount Hagen Organi...

I'd like to see what the image looks like without a correction. If I think it's too dark, then I'll send you a different photo to use instead. Thanks, Tex!
