MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Hi Tex, I am grateful for your 'lengthy' answer, for often it's in the fine details that we find answers. So thankyou muchly. There is certainly alot of self experimentation trial and error in this process, and its so helpful to see how others have solved their triggers to inflammation. The inner wo...

Hi Tex,
I am interested to know how long after being diagnosed with mc before you reached remission?
I too have an 18 hour fasting window and eat 2 meals a day, and am greatly encouraged to see that you at 83 years young do the same. It obviously has done you good.
Thanks Claire

Thankyou for keeping this site running Tex, I often return to it to read what others have written. As you say there are more readers than posters and with you and others answering questions it's a goldmine of information.
many thanks Claire

Hi Tex, I haven't posted in a while because I've been so well. But suddenly after 18 months of feeling so well and normal (still doing the carnivore diet) I have had a really bad flare up-with all the works and drama. It's now been four days. I am trying to figure what may have triggered it. Just la...

Just a few points to note regarding my vote of 'no' to your poll about catching Covid and getting a flare, I am one year into my healing on a full elimination diet and take no medications. On day two of covid and with a terrible headache I was reluctant to take any pain killer either. Thanks for doi...

Hi Tex,
yes, this is long-haul healing. Thankyou for reminding me, sometimes I feel so well I forget. As I keep a diary I will take note the next time I try something like Salmon to see if there is a four day interval. For now, I will stick to my lamb, beef and chicken. I hope you are well...

Hi Gabes and Tex, 6 months in and feeling great, almost regular bm every 2nd day. But today had a flare and am wondering what triggered it. The only thing I can think of is I ate a piece of salmon for the first time since beginning my all meat diet, but that was 4 days ago and I have been fine up ti...

Thanks Gabes,
I'll give some of those a go.....
Claire

Hi Tex,
oh, that makes complete sense as I only go every 8-10 days. Is it best to just be patient and wait for full healing to resolve the regularity, as you have wisely advised before, or do you think I would be better to take something to improve regularity?
Thankyou
Claire

Hi Tex, I'm pleased to say I am actually feeling better, a weird feeling like 'stronger'. Fatigue is lifting and when going for a short walks my limbs no longer feel heavy. The meat only diet is helping for sure. I've read some old posts about some people having black stools, and it was suggested th...

Thanks Tex,
yes that helps alot. ( I'd added 1 + 1 and made 5.) Understanding this condition is important to me and others, as you know.
Lots to learn.

Many thanks
Claire

Hi Tex, I would like to understand what is happening when clear mucous is passed, and think you are the best person to ask. I understand it's from inflammation in the intestine but is it the collagenous or lymphocytic gel type mucous coming loose? If it is collagen, is it collecting in the intestine...

Thankyou Tex, I really appreciate the helpful, knowledgeable answers I get on this forum from you and Gabes. Helps so much to just be able to converse with people who know and are pioneers in the discovery of what works to assist healing.

Hi Tex, yes, for sure, the medical profession does not have all the answers, one only has to think back to the Thalidomide disaster to realise sometimes they are just plain wrong. However when all else fails I will seek their help, and am thankful we do have doctors to go to for many other reasons. ...

Hi Gabes, thanks for your recommendations. Today is the first day I actually feel like chicken broth, so I will try some and see how I go. I will try and add it as a base to some meals when winter comes if I tolerate it well. Can you recommend a spray magnesium for my sister who struggles with const...
