MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Howdy, tex, Yes, your knowledge, experience, and caring are shining brightly, my friend, because that is precisely what is happening. And as I mentioned, it has happened with most of the new foods that I introduce. Currently, the same trend is occurring with my introduction of Greens (watercress, co...

Thanks so much, tex. I will keep an eye on things. Another question if I may: I've noticed that with some of the newly added foods I get a reaction (loose, thick stool, but not watery.) This lasts for maybe a day or two. But if I keep eating the new food, after three or four days my stool returns to...

I am deeply grateful to all of you for your help. When I joined one month ago, I immediately started the BRAT diet, and for the next two weeks, I had healthy BMs, except for one day when I tried celery Juice and lemon water. I stopped those and quickly bounced right back. Since that first two-week p...

Will do, thank you, Brandy!

Keep us posted on how you do and best wishes. Brandy, Thank you for your caring, giving, and suggestions. And thank you to all the others who do the same! Raw means: raw veggies, skins from fruits, unsoaked nuts, unsoaked seeds, salads, green salads, un cooked kale salads etc I shall refrain from v...

Oh, my word, thank you, Brandy! You have given me many things to try. I'm starting to settle into the framework of "many months." Yay, I have knowledge of the path to healing! One thing I am wondering about, you mentioned: A lot of problems with MC healing early on comes from raw foods. Av...

tex,
I made my seven days. See this post

I joined this board eight days ago, followed the advice to try BRAT, had one day of recovery, and I just finished seven days with only Pristine Poop - Nothing else!! I have had MC for four years and 99.99% of my BMs have been watery or loose, sometimes a dozen or more blasts per day. Here's how I di...

New research shows how our Western diet causes IBDs: Thank you for this, tex. I've been addicted to fat probably all of my life. If I go too long (just a few hours in the morning) without adequate amounts of fat my hands start shaking, and if I go way too long it feels like the insides of my body a...

tex wrote:"Remission" has various meanings for various people. Some regard stopping the diarrhea as remission

Splendid! Thank you, tex. Stopping the diarrhea is my remission goal. More specifically - seven solid days of solid - is my remission goal. I currently have two. I will keep you posted.

You are a kind and giving man, tex. I appreciate you and am learning tons from you. And the more I learn the more I realize that I am not getting the basics. The main point here is that we have to do whatever we need to do in order to bring MC to remission After reading your quote I realize that I d...

Greetings,

I am brand new to this forum and continually read that I need to ingest a small amount of fibre in the first stages of recovery. How many grams of fiber should I consume per day in the first stage? Should I keep track of soluble and insoluble?

Howdy, tex, So many thanks for your response. Here's what I think you are saying. If soy does not bring about my diarrhea then I could use tempeh, tofu, edamame, natto, etc instead of meat. I could then go through Step One and become compliant (I'm a tax resolution guy), then move on to Step Two. Do...

Greetings all you giving people, It is clear to me that this forum is housed with empathic and caring folks who know the walk and love to share and help. I need help. I am 71 years old, slender (no gut, 5' 11", 34" waist, 165 lbs.), take no medications, all vitals are in good shape, walk 2...
