MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Hello! My mom and I both have MC. She has been more willing than me to accept her symptoms and has not done much to try to improve. But yesterday she called to tell me that, just because she enjoys them, she has been eating tons of pickled vegetables (carrots,cauliflower, celery, peppers, cucumbers,...

Tex and Gabes, Thank you both for sharing your thoughts. Yes, I am taking Vitamin D now and have increased it from 13 to now 70! I've been using a magnesium spray for months and recently starting taking the Doctor's Best Magnesium capsules and they seem to be settling okay. I'm taking 100mg twice pe...

Thank you Tex and Gabes for your quick and helpful responses! My eGFR has been low for about five years! I'm 46 years old and I'm told I have the eGFR of someone much older. About a month ago it was 55 with a creatinine of 1.23. I think that's the lowest it's been. Before that it is has regularly be...

Well, here I am again humbly coming before this wonderful forum with questions. I will try to make them concise. I have been following a Phase 1 diet since February to the best of my ability and am better (usually one D per day that is not WD) but still stomach burning and discomfort and not full re...

Hi Laura,

Did you try the Boswellia Serrata protocol? If so, has it helped you? I sure hope so!

Ahhhh, interesting. Thank you, as always, for explaining!

Thank you, Tex, that is helpful. I have not yet reached remission but was following the Stage 1 diet to the best of my ability and was doing better. But this week has been a big setback with lots more D and more stomach burning/discomfort than before. So much so that I started back on Budesonide thi...

Hi! I see here that I_zwem is eating foods that are lower on the list as far as reactivity, but not "no reaction" like beef, tuna, and rice. My Enterlab results also showed no foods with no reactivity, but I have wondered about adding rice, beef, and tuna to my diet since they are the leas...

Thank you, Tex, for sharing your story and your thoughts on these things. I'm sorry that happened to you! Your observation about the medical community treating problems after they happen seems spot on to me. I'm more in favor of prevention myself. I saw my PC doctor today and will have some addition...

Hi friends! I hope you are all doing well! I have been having heart palpitations and A-fib (as identified by my Apple watch) and am wondering if ya'll have thoughts on the cause. I started a Stage 1 ticket seven weeks ago. Five weeks into the diet (with no real stomach improvement) I talked with my ...

I knew you would have an explanation, Tex, thank you so much!

Hi Tex,

One thing I don't understand - why is turkey safe when chicken is not for me? I have been eating both my whole life and they seem to be such similar animals/meats. I know there must be an explanation that I'm missing.

Thank you as always for any answers you are willing to provide.

Hi! I am officially fully off Lexapro, with no alternative medication! I slowly weaned over three months and would have 1 or 2 rough days at each decrease and then go back to feeling pretty normal. And I feel pretty good now emotionally and don't feel like I need to find an alternative. I have conti...

Tex, Gabes, and Andy, Thank you, thank you!!! You are all so kind and generous with your time and knowledge, and your responses are so helpful. I'm heading to Whole Foods now with a reasonable game plan. The million dollar question is: When will I know if the new diet is helping? Or if I need to adj...

Hello my friends! I appreciate you all and hope you are well! Well, after a long 4-5 months taper, I successfully got off Lexapro and feel pretty well emotionally! And better digestive wise too. The D has decreased to once or twice per day, but I'm still not healthy and normal. These are the Enterol...
