MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

I have been reading the previous stage 1 recommendations. It left me with more questions since I have not made much progress. When I eat meat other than ground turkey and fish (cod from health food store) I have stomach pains and D that start up within a few hours. The pains go away but the D always...

Your results look exactly like mine so reading these replies has been very helpful. I have not been able to find ground turkey without added Rosemary. I am curious where people find it. Maybe it is ordered online?

Thanks for you help. Without this board and your book there would be nothing out there to help me on my journey. The diet information found on here is life saving for people with MC.

Hi, After carefully reading your post, here are my thoughts: If I read your post correctly, as long as you're careful with your diet, diarrhea is not a problem. So why would you need a medication for MC, from your doctor? If he does suggest one, it will probably be either Pepto-Bismol, or mesalamin...

Thanks for the advice. I don't want to be on any medication if I can get the itching under control. I had never thought of histamines being a problem for me, even after reading the book. I will eliminate bananas and see if that helps. Also I will get tested for pinworms. I am a teacher and actually ...

I have been on budesonide since Dec. 4th and it hasn't helped at all. Thanks to this forum I have found some foods I can tolerate and was able to get my weight up enough to get my menstrual cycle back. I am 5'3, 48 years old, now weigh 115 (was at 108 in Dec.) I am working with a nutritionist who ha...

Thanks! I can tolerate coconut milk so I will used the canned coconut milk in my smoothies for a higher calorie option. I will make the almond milk using the posted recipe and do half almond and half coconut milk for the next week or two for starters. I appreciate the advice. I am very thankful this...

I also have a Vitamix (which appears to be a better alternative than my soy milker) and I am finding the process on Youtube of how to make almond milk. I will start that right away.

Thanks for the advice. I have switched to turkey bone broth and ground turkey. I am going to make my own when I can get my hands on a turkey that is not injected with broth and flavoring. I live a rural area with one health food store that only carries turkey at Thanksgiving. Luckily I have fresh ve...

I meant to also mention after reading this forum I am using magnesium spray and vit d with an omega 3X daily.

I was diagnosed with MC a month ago after battling digestive health issues for the past five years. Each year I eliminated more foods from my diet yet my problem only got worse (diarrhea). I figured out five years ago gluten was a problem and have followed a very strict gf diet. I had a colonoscopy ...
