Enterolab retesting - surprising results

Hello Tex and all you wonderful people on the Microscopic Colitis forum I'm writing because I got myself re-tested by Enterolab in March 2024, two years after my previous tests in April 2022. The big surprise was a huge leap in anti-gliadin levels. This was surprising for two reasons: 1. I am not on...

High magnesium -- how long?

Hello Tex, Gabes and fellow MCers I've been taking a high dosage of magnesium for over a year and would like some feedback on how long such a high dosage is necessary.

Re: Enterolab and biopsy results - help!

Dear Tex I haven't got any problems with arthritis and it is so reassuring for me to know I can eat white potatoes and other nightshades without any qualms. Thank you!

Re: Enterolab and biopsy results - help!

Hello Tex Thank you very much for your long and helpful answer. I am very happy you say that my MC is definitely not healed since that is also my opinion. It is clear to me that I need to continue watching my diet very carefully for a long time. I'm also happy that magnesium will help my constipatio...
