MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Thank you Tex.
I sort of felt there would not be a clear answer. This disease process is confounding
But I thank you for your help

Good morning everyone
I have a question about collagen supplements. Most of them seem to be “bovine” based. If i showed sensitivity to beef, is this type of collagen off limits?
Thanks for your help

Thank you Brandy for a very comprehensive answer. I understand that this is a very difficult disease process, it’s so easy to get irritated, frustrated, depressed. But your answer is telling me - pretty clearly- do NOT rush the process. My “movements “ are still mushy. Ugh! So i will maintain the do...

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. I am free of gluten, dairy, soy, grains. I have eggs rarely but when I do they are duck eggs. My diet has consisted of bananas, sunflower butter, turkey (and recently lamb) sweet potatoes, butternut squash, green beans (roasted beyond recognition), applesauc...

Good morning all...i am looking for help on how slow to wean from Budesonide. I began 9mg daily on 9/21/20. Decreased to 6mg daily on 11/25/20. Attempted 3mg 1/06/21 but some symptoms reappeared so back up to 6. I started 3mg on 2/15 and so far so good. When can I decrease to every other day? And th...

Thank you again for your support Harmony. You know first hand how difficult this disease process can be. And it would be impossible to manage without this site.

Thank you Harmony...hope springs eternal and then reality sets in. I will take the veggie broth off my [incredibly limited] menu

Thank you very much Laine...i did see that i can order lamb bones on line. Absolutely not cheap. However i am moving to a new state and will order (or purchase directly i hope) once i get there. But in meantime was looking for a YAY or NAY on vegetable broth for stage one diet. Thank you again for t...

Hello all...i have a question about broths. I am limited to lamb bone broth (sensitive to beef, chicken and pork) and now my butcher just told me his lamb supplier is MIA. I know vegetable broth is not closely related to the benefits of bone broth but i am a little desperate for something warm to dr...

Thank you Tex for your quick response. I will eliminate the yogurt and hope it is the solution

Hello everyone - i have a question about weaning off the Budesonide. I began 9mg daily in September. I reduced it to 6 mg the end of November. I attempted to go to 3mg early January. Unfortunately about 10 days later became symptomatic again w some diarrhea and upped the dosage back to 6 mg. At this...

It is what i thought. Thank you very much Tex for the confirmation
I am learning that, at the very least, patience will get me through.

Good morning all - i have a new question: Do i need to be off the budesonide before i start adding in new foods? I ask this because my understanding is that the medication masks symptoms. So if i am still taking it, how will i know if i am reacting to foods or not? I have been taking budesonide for ...

Again, thank you Laine and Tex. Such quick responses are great! Especially as I am trying to understand this disease and put some forward motion into gear.

Thank you thank you!!!

Good evening- Tex I have some more questions: - Is the paleo diet one that I could follow, keeping in mind to avoid my certain food sensitivities (as reported by EnteroLab? - Is cassava and/or coconut flour something that I could safely use? - Bone broth (it seems) is typically made from chicken or ...
