MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Hi Fredi Thanks for your input! yes im genrally in remission the last year and a half, have had the odd bad day or 2 but nothing too concerning fingers crossed. Im still finding the right balance though and it can be hard. Charcoal is something ive taken a few times and doesnt seem to aid in much fo...

Hi Tex thanks for your advice.. Ive looked at what ive eaten etc and its generally the same as what ive always eaten... the only thing i can pinpoint is the fat.. after a fatty stew for instance . I dont know why, Ive not had any serious flares the last year so would have thought that i was slowly h...

Hi hope all is well! I havnt posted on here for a while as ive generally been ok .. ive had ups and downs buts mainly ups. Recently things hsve changed though and it feels as though ive regressed. one day im good the next im bad and so on... i cant seem to find the reason.. Ive got a few questions y...

Hi Tex hope your welll The last few weeks ive been having altered strange bowel /stool .. Without being too graphic when i go to the loo i have gernerally formed stool followed by unformed .. almost like half and half.. not watery but loose. The colours are also different . This is durign one BM btw...

I dont have most of those symptoms so would hope im on the good side of magnesium . i very rarely get spasms or twitches but usually thats when im stressed. I suppose ive been taking magnesium glycinate for 2-3 years now so would probably know if it didnt suit me! Does the glycine have any affect if...

Not confusing at all. Very helpful in fact and makes a lot of sense. Im hoping im not insulin resistant.. i havnt consumed sugary foods for years and have also been taking 3-400mg magnesium for last 2 years since developing MC. There must be something to do with quality too. Stupid question, but is ...

Hi gabes! Thanks for you insight . I will have a look at dave aspreys podcasts and see how i go. Ive started breathing exercises which help lower my blood pressure and generally help with sleep. I also invested in theanine . im nt sure if it helps yet but its interesting stuff. I wanted to ask you g...

Thats what i thought. Im not going to take them. I want to avoid all drugs if possible !

Thnk you.

Thanks Tex received ! V interesting. Have you any knowledge on small dose beta blockers( propranonol 10mg )a day affecting the gut? I can imagine a high dose isnt too great but a small dose is probably similar to amitryptline .. thats my thought anyway. My GP said to try them for sleep/adrenals... T...

Thanks Tex that sounds great!

How right you are! I think it is stress, im in the middle of possibly moving to another part of the country etc! the uncertainty is most likely my stress. i think if i had histamine trouble i would have at least one other symptom too but i may try a low diet. i read somehwere else on here before tha...

Thats really interesting. Im a little unsure if its causing the sleep problems though as ive been eating practically the same diet all year and this has only come on recently . i shall keep it in mind though. Obviously there are many things that can affect sleep and ive got a lot n my mind recently ...

interesting! even though i have no other symptoms of histamine reaction? i pressume if i do have a problem i would sleep better if i try a anti histamine before bed?
Thanks for your insight. obviously there is a mental /anxiety aspect to sleep too. ill try a anti histamine tonight.
