MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

I've been eating that as well as naturally fermented pickles. :)

I saw someone here on the forum had good results with saccharomyces Boulardii so I added that today. Should I try just that and nothing else?

Thanks, Tex! I had loose stools on the antibiotic, about 3 a day but it wasn't anything like this right now. They did a bunch of different bacteria type tests and they were all negative. The first c-diff they messed up and I had to take another one in. Then it took a week to get back and it was nega...

I'm a HUGE fan of laser! I'm going to get an appt with my chiro today to get one. They have saved me from a 2nd knee replacement for about 4 years now as well as provided pain relief from a couple of broken ankles over the past 4 years as well. I didn't think about using them for this flare. I have ...

Oh and I also started LDN 2 nights ago. I'd been on it once and had some pills here so decided to try it. I jumped straight into 4.5 mg because I was desperate enough to deal with any side effects for a bit!

You all were a tremendous help 3 years ago when I was diagnosed with MC. Tex told me turmeric was often an underlying factor and 3 days after I stopped it the massive diarrhea stopped and never returned. Until 2 weeks ago. I'd had 4 UTIs over a 4 month period (usually took Macrobid since it is less ...

That makes me really hopeful!!

Thanks so much for the terrific advice, Gabes! I brought all kinds of food with me this week for the trip to AZ and it was easy. My bowel has gotten better and better the longer I am off turmeric.Is it likely to be that simple--that turmeric was the underlying cause of the inflammation? Or is it jus...

Aye, aye, captain! All the time until I get things under control. Both times I broke my ankle I was wearing flip flops on gravel in AZ. I have since sworn off flip flops. LOL I'm a klutz and always have been. NO diarrhea since morning. that's some kind of a record. Things are sort of rumbling so I t...

I tried the AIP diet for 2 months and then started the Low FODMAPS a couple of weeks ago with no real help. I just found the forum 2 days ago, but the dietary suggestions make sense and I'm trying them now.

Thanks so much, guys! I do eat out, and just before the test I'd had a period of quite a bit of eating out. I'm a novelist and travel for research as well as book signings and I speak a lot. I don't have a totally gluten free kitchen since hubby is not gluten free, and I do all the cooking so I cook...

thanks, Tex. Yes massive diarrhea is still present. That's how I found your site last night. I'm so encouraged after reading things here. I realize I was doing everything wrong. LOL

I just ordered the Kindle version and am eager to read it. Thanks for sharing it here where we can find it!

Well this isn't good about turmeric! I had a knee replacement in Feb and take it instead of Tylenol. It helps my knee a great deal. :( But if it's contributing to my LC, I'll have to cut it out. I take the Meriva type.

I'm so so happy to have found you! I'm like a drowning person grasping for straws and found a lifeboat! I've had MC for probably about 5 years but just diagnosed 3 months ago after a colonoscopy biopsy. I happened to stumble on this site last night after doing a search for microscopic colitis carniv...
