MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

I've had MC for 10 years, quite under control with GF and SF diet. My son, 44, has had a colonoscopy that revealed UC, asymptomatic for now. He's on Mesalamine. He did the Enterolab test, which returned rather disheartening results: Anti-gliadin=48. Anti-casein=33. Anti-ovalbumin=54. Anti-soy=28. Me...

Definitely Facebook is an excellent idea, for all relevant pages (celiac, etc.). The same is true of celiac and related forums/blogs. And I'm sure it could be arranged to put some sort of announcement on the Entero site as well. If you decide to do the Kickstarter, all links could be directed there....

Not at all, Tex. First, Kickstarter takes of 15% or so if you reach your goal. (BTW, if you don't - and you set your goal and your time frame - you get nothing.) But if you set a goal of, say, raising $5K in 2 months and you get that amount in pledges, KS take off their 15% and give you the rest. Yo...

More and more people are financing artistic and intellectual projects through the Web. Pop artists and gamesters raise tens of thousands, and sometimes millions on the Web for future projects, giving subscribers early access and various types of credit, depending on the amount invested. If Celiac is...

Tex, I'm sure we can raise the money for publication on this forum, when it is ready. And if that doesn't feel right (though I don't see why it shouldn't), it could be done by advance subscription. This is how books were being sold originally, after all. There is no doubt in my mind that everyone on...

I'd like to suggest a title for your book if you don't already have one:
"From Bread and Circus to Gluten and Gladiators"

Well, all we can say is please keep your nose to the grindstone and save often.

Oh, thanks. I didn't realize we made it to prime time...

Thank you all for your powerful support. I hope I didn't gloat. I don't think I'm anywhere near a cure or anything of the sort. I have simply learned to live with yet one more limitation that age imposes on us. And I'm always amazed at how many musicians are out there. Music plays such an important ...

Dear Wayne,
Thank you for your comment. Your posts and answers to my questions and to those of others are among the most useful tools in the daily management of this disease, and have been all along. I'm sure a lot of us here agree with this assessment. I am forever grateful to you.

Hi Al, The desensitization program was conducted by the Allergy Department of a hospital in Tel-Aviv. They began by administering a very small amount of salicylate (in my case they used PB because that was my target medication), and watched the sings of allergy, measured lung capacity, etc. As the s...

Thanks for your kind comment, Cynthia. Yes, Ariel is something else, but also a handful. And unfortunately I haven't been able to accompany him on his trips because I cannot travel with MC.

Two-year summary I have been lurking around this forum for nearly two years, asking few questions because I manage to find most of what I need by searching the posts, and saying little because I didn’t think I could contribute much that hasn’t already been said in one form or another. But it has now...

I just checked the enzyme I'm taking and also noticed that it contains lactose. Thanks for pointing this out. I have another question regarding the enzymes: they are taken with each meal in order to help digest the specific meal with which they are taken. Does this apply to *every* meal one eats, or...

Thanks for the clarification and the links, Tex. An amazing amount of knowledge and valuable information.
