MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Terri, you are a warrior yourself! So I was on Prozac and Ami for a long long time (other SSRIs before that chronically) and I was starting to wake up with night sweats, like soaking wet and having to shower and wash my sheets in the am bad…so that coupled with the fact I kept hearing SSRIs could be...

Terri, I was on amitriptyline for a long time for sleep. It helped a lot but I decided to ween myself off bc it is a very strong medicine with lots of side effects and I wanted to go a more natural route. Plus the QT prolongation you mentioned scared me, it also causes urinary retention..I just want...

How did this go for you? Where did you find Jini Patel’s version of the elemental diet and did you ever do it and what was your results? I am having flares here and there and I’m not sure what to attribute it to. Thinking of doing a shake diet bc it makes the most sense, as you said, for when inflam...

Thanks for your reply! I do still have my gallbladder. I added the enzymes after I kept finding undigested food in my stool. I did not notice a difference taking just the enzymes but bought betaine and starting taking that and it made a huge difference. But then realized that it only works really fo...

This is interesting. I have had irregular periods now since having COVID. Did you periods ever return back to normal? How did the hormone pills affect your colitis and mood?

How long did you do this for? I have seen good results while taking the enzymes and betaine although sometimes I have diarrhea sporadically.

As far as I know I have been avoiding all the root causes of inflammation. Gluten, dairy, eggs, soy. I just started a probiotic and I was taking digestive enzymes but those didn’t seem to help. I’m still having undigested food in my stool which makes it apparent to me I’m having digestive issues. I ...

Thanks for y’all’s replies. I truly appreciate it. I’m still so bloated. I’ve lost about +15 lbs since January from going paleo and getting off of the steroids. Still, I have diarrhea. Although it’s not as frequent as it was, I’m still having active state MC with >3/ watery stools per day. I just wi...

Does anyone take betaine and also digestive enzymes? How do you suggest I take these together?

Will do. I have stopped taking any and all supplements with soy in them. Stopped using spray oils with soy in them. I’ve reconstructed my entire kitchen pantry to implement a GF, DF, SF diet. I will continue just eating the same simple foods without much variety and seeing where it goes from there. ...

How often do you suggest drinking the bone broth to promote healing?

Thank you Gabes for your reply. I am 30 years old, so my hormone issues are very real. Although since getting COVID, my periods are very off. Some months I haven’t even had a period. And although stress could have played a role during the last semester of nursing school, it still persists even thoug...

What are your thoughts on the almond flour muffins? And the plantain chips? Also, let’s say I’m sensitive to chicke , can I still cook the bones down in a bone broth and sip on that for the collagen and minerals in order to heal my gut? If not what other bones might you suggest for this? Please also...

Tex, thank you so much for your in-depth reply. You are correct in that I get too discouraged too soon. I have fought many other things such as depression and such so I guess I’m just tired. Even at the age of 30. I just want a normal life, as I know y’all of all people can truly relate. Not many pe...

I’ve posted here before and I thank Tex for his quick replies and always encouraging posts. I am really at a loss. I started seeing a new naturopathic person and she recommended a paleo diet. I only eat organic , grass fed meats. No grains at all. Low sugar. Haven’t been eating fruit except for bana...
