MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Thank you Tex. I appreciate having a better understanding.

Hello all. Sorry if I am reposting this, I cannot find the original, so may have not done it correctly. Anyway, I am curious what it is, (mostly), about Budesonide that causes it to work. Is it mostly anti inflammatory, or is it just mostly constipating (like opioids are constipating). Another way t...

Thank you. My understanding is that soy sauce is made with wheat as the first ingredient. That’s why I order tamari sauce (made with soybeans) when I get sushi. So I am pretty sure the carne asada was made with soy sauce. I guess my question is…can such a small amount of wheat actually kick off such...

I have been doing pretty well with just one Imodium at bedtime. Now things are off the rails again. The only possible gluten I may have gotten was from tacos at a restaurant. They assured me the corn tortillas were gluten free. I ordered them with carne asada which I thought was just pulled pork. I ...

Thanks Tex, John, and Gabes, that is all interesting to discuss. Gabes - I have been a vitamin d advocate since 2007. I took a deep dive into the research. I have take about 4,000 units per day every day since then. I even did a trial of 10,000 units a day for 6 monts to fend off osteoporosis. My do...

Thanks for that explanation Tex. One other question…..

If we are in remission with no more flares….can the colon heal? Is it possible? Could a biopsy of the colon (after MC is in remission), actually be normal? No lymphocytes and no collagenous tissue?

Hi everyone. After so many months of research I am beginning to wonder about one cause of MC. Is it possible that MC is a result of having too much bile in the colon? Perhaps the bile changes the colon tissue? Inflames it. Thoughts?

Hi there. I am really curious about the original poster asking about the effect of taking immodium if the problem is bile acid. He asked if it was wise since the bile would just still be in the colon but just slowed down by the immodium. I ask because that is what I am doing. I have stopped wheat, s...

Hi. Can anyone tell me what “ CR-3 Buzide ” is? From India ?

I got glutened and it was my own fault. I have followed the advice on this forum regarding gluten and dairy and soy. And….I got so much better for five weeks! Then, while traveling I had a subway sandwich on a regular bun because they did not have GF. I thought, what the heck, it will be an experime...

Hi Tex,

Thank you. That helps a lot. I had seen "casien" talked about here. But forgot all about it when I read other gluten free sites. I need to stick on this site. I guess we all are just special people.

Hi all, I did try to find this info first. Just diagnosed. I am going gluten free and dairy free first. I did pretty well for a few days. Then I read about Lactose free milk. I tried that in coffee. That day the poops were ok. Then two nights ago I had some pesto on gluten free pasta. The pesto I no...

Hi Tex and Jennifer, I have just learned about the Enterolab tests. I went to the website. A bit confusing. But I will read up on it. I will order the mag lotion. Yes, I have wondered about eggs….when things got out of control last fall I had been eating almond flour pancakes made with just almond f...

Hello Jennifer. I tried to figure out how to message you last night because of something you said about mag quite some time ago. And now there you are! Anyway… when I tried to reintroduce mag into my life in early 2020, I tried a mag oil. I tried it at least 10 times and it was like my legs were on ...

Hello Tex. Thank you for your well-reasoned and informative reply. I have been on 6 tablets per day of Pepto . It is like a miracle drug for me. No nocturnal D, and only 1-2 bm for 2 days now. I guess I will stay on it for two weeks. I also started eating bland since two days ago. Turkey and rice lu...
