MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Thank you all for your answers. I think the pepto protocol is doing it’s job I had the most normal but not perfect poops I’ve had since this whole thing started!
I hope once week 8 rolls by I can be in remission as well

Hi guys!! I went to go see a naturopath who put me on different supplements like SBI protect, Boswellia akba, l glutamine, vitamin d3 etc... Apart from all this she suggested I try the pepto protocol and stop Cholestyramine. I followed her instructions and currently on day 6 with no luck. I had yell...

I forgot to mention again... I had a colonoscopy in 2019 because I was experiencing bloating, flatulence and mucus. Biopsies where taken during that time which came back negative. No watery or explosive diarrhea until Jan 2021 In your last post it sounds as though BAM might be the main problem, but ...

My dr never prescribed Cholestyramine back in 2009. Two years after surgery Another dr said I might have celiac sprue and suggested I try a GF diet. A week later Diarrhea completely stopped, energy levels where amazing, no more rashes on my face and the list goes on. Then come 2021 and BOOM 💥 first ...

Also, I forgot to say this. When my gallbladder was removed in 2009 I had explosive diarrhea that didn’t go away until I removed gluten. I was completely fine without any diarrhea until Jan 2021. I think MC brought in the BAM. If that’s the case, would lowering inflammation resolve the BAM or is tha...

Hi Tex, I’m taking Claritin AM and Benadryl PM. I ordered the DOA supplements and waiting on those. I was just wondering if I should eventually try to taper off Cholestyramine and how long I should be on antihistamines before I attempted to do that. Also, would you recommend doing enterolab? I just ...

Hi! Thank you for your help. I’m still figuring this out. I was taking Cholestyramine 2-3 times daily and on a very strict diet. My naturopathic dr put me on the SIBO antihistamine protocol and currently eating very limited. I was still waking up every morning with cramps and very lose stools and go...

Tex, Thank you so much for taking the time to reply back to me. I just wanted to say that I’ve been off dairy, soy and eggs since my symptoms started and was seeing improvement with pepto bismol then my dr put me on carafate and after diagnosis he put me on Cholestyramine and Budesonide which did no...

First of all I want to say thank you for making this forum. I bought the microscopic colitis book by Wayne Persky and it has been incredibly helpful. I was diagnosed this past February and first started showing symptoms late December. My dr. Started me on budesonide but I lasted 3 weeks. It did noth...

Hi, Welcome to the board. I'll try to answer your questions. I have been feeling so tired/fatigued lately, very overwhelmed, not sleeping well, heart is always racing and I just need to relax but don’t know how. Those are typical symptoms. It helps to adopt a one or more relaxation techniques. Ther...

Tex, I cannot thank you enough for taking the time to answer all of my questions. You are a wonderful person! My diet was already gluten free but maybe traces where sneaking in from the toaster that I share with my family. I have never been diagnosed for celiac or gluten sensitivity and my gluten bl...

Hello! I’m a 35 yo Puertorican gal with two beautiful kiddos. I just got diagnosed this week and so glad this group exists 🙏🏼 My symptoms started late Nov with just mucus and constipation then by Jan 1 I had full blown watery D all day, everyday 😩. My dr put me on pepto and that worked ok (2-5 potty...
