MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Thanks Tex, yes I figure I'm just inflamed. I'm glad to know that's typical for MC. I will be checking my reports though just in case I missed something.

Thanks again for all your help so far!!

Hi Tex, I had never considered diverticulitis or a stenosis. How would these conditions be diagnosed? My last colonoscopy was over a year ago, but my report does not mention anything like that. I feel like my bowels do not empty completely, ever. But perhaps I am just inflamed all the time and that ...

Thank you so much Tex!! I am very concerned about the thyroid issues and may have to get a second opinion, as I feel like I am getting some resistance from my endocrinologist. She feels that since my TSH is fine now(with the minimum dose of Synthroid), the borderline low T3 and T4 don't really matte...

Hi all, This is difficult for me to write, as the last time I posted on this forum I felt like I was feeling a lot more positive about my situation. I’ve been on a strict elimination diet for 4 weeks now...it was going well at first, but now my bloating has returned with a vengeance. I finally got r...

Excellent, thanks for the feedback Tex! I'm feeling really good and satisfied with all the coconut and fat, so I'll keep at it :)

Good morning! Diet is going well so far, can’t believe I’ve had solid BMs all week! I am eating only: yellow potato, sweet potato, turkey, pork tenderloin, coconut oil, canned coconut milk, and a bit of Silk unsweetened almond milk. I am able to have a daily half cup of coffee, diluted with coconut ...

Thanks so much for your thorough answer Tex! I suppose I have some mindset work to do as well, and learning to think of food as medicine. Thanks again :)

Okay thanks Tex...I better take it easy then. Slow and steady :) Thanks for the suggestions! Do you mind if I ask what your one safe veggie is? Do people in this group stick to mostly meat? I’m feeling like there’s not much to eat!

Hi again Tex, Any suggestions on good veggie options for me, considering a potential histamine sensitivity? So far I’m limited to sweet potato, mashed potato, canned pumpkin and sometimes rutabaga. Maybe some kind of squash or puréed green beans? I feel like I need another colour. Thanks again! Amanda

Thanks so much Tex!! Very helpful information :) Will make those changes and fingers crossed the bloating will subside!

Thanks so much for your speedy response Tex! The rice cereal is fortified with iron, so I'm wondering if that may be the culprit. I will also hold off on the vitamin C for now! I will try to switch over to more pork and less of the other proteins for now. Would turkey be a better substitute for chic...

I’m having such a hard time identifying safe foods. I thought I was doing well for a few weeks. I started a strict elimination diet on Dec 26. Since then, BMs have solidified, but now I’m back to bloating :( I have been eating cream of rice cereal, canned pumpkin, coconut oil, and a bit of coconut m...
