MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Hi Tex, I think the translator messed up again. I wasn't referring to the medication dosage, but rather whether it also needs to be taken away from meals (4-6 hours before or 1-2 hours after). I assume it does, since it’s still a bile acid sequestrant. I’ve tried searching through previous threads, ...

Hello again, I'm here with an update on my condition and I have a question for you. I'm feeling somewhat better, although I'm still not in control of the diarrhea, but I have more energy. I assume that adjusting my thyroid medication has helped. The mushroom capsules I've been taking have changed th...

Hello Unabigpill, My experience is quite similar to yours. There's that constant, dull pain that never really goes away—it can be more or less intense depending on the day. I wake up and go to bed with it. And then there’s this other pain that you described, which comes when I move around. I can be ...

What wonderful news, Audrey!!

I’m so, so happy for you!!!

It’s truly inspiring to read stories like yours. Thank you so much for sharing it.

I hope that soon I’ll also be able to share my own success story. For now, I’ll keep fighting to find the right path.

A big hug,
Marta

Hello, two weeks ago I spoke with Dr. Fine. He told me that the tests are only operational for samples sent from the USA. That is what he is licensed for. For those of us in the EU at the moment we still can't send them because he doesn't have the license. Anyway I will contact him again and I will ...

That's great, Tex!!!! I'm so glad you think it's a good plan. It's very important to me.

I'll give you a break for a month hehehe and update you on how I'm doing. I hope I can come back with good news. it's about time!!!!!

Thank you so much

A big hug

Hello again, Yesterday I had my appointment with the endocrinologist. She fully agrees that thyroid levels influence the colon and vice versa. She says it’s like a fish that eats its own tail. We have adjusted the medication and she has added some mushroom capsules that she says are used to lower an...

Thank you very much for your extensive response Tex. I understand perfectly what you are explaining to me. This Monday I will talk to the doctor to see what we can do. I will let you know. As for the Budesonide, I did try it many years ago when I was diagnosed. But it didn't work well for me, so the...

Thank you so much, Tex. I’ll read the link you shared. Regarding what you mentioned about hypothyroidism, do you think it’s out of control even though my TSH, T4, T3, and reverse T3 levels are normal? I’ve always had high antibodies, sometimes more, sometimes less, but the other values have been cor...

Hello again, everyone, I've been thinking for a few days now that I need to write to you because things are not working. The last time I wrote, I explained that I bought a precision scale and was taking 1g of cholestyramine a day, which I tolerated quite well. I did this for fifteen days. My stools ...

Hi again, I’m here to update you on my experience with Cholestyramine. After the first day with such good results, I decided to continue with two doses on the second day. If the first day already caused me discomfort when taking them, the second day was a total disaster. I had severe nausea, burping...

From all the emails I have exchanged with him, it is my understanding that they are not relocating, but are opening a branch office to service people in Europe. He suggested that I look for a lab in Barcelona that would be interested in doing their testing. Of those I consulted through my nutritioni...

Hello!!! Following the message I read here where someone had sent a sample to Greece and had issues with the transport, I wrote again to Dr. Fine to ask for an update on the Greek laboratory and if it was operational yet. This was his response: "Only about 1% of shipments have had challenges wi...

Hello,
My nutritionist also prescribed D-Mannose combined with a few drops of Bearberry (Uva-ursi) extract. And drinking a lot of water.
It worked very well for me.

A big Hug

Gracias, Tex. No me rendiré. Si tengo una virtud, es ser persistente y disciplinado. Además, hoy es un buen día. Esta mañana, mis heces ya habían cambiado de textura. ¡No me lo podía creer! ¡¡¡Con sólo dos dosis!!! No quiero celebrarlo antes de tiempo, pero me ha dado un empujón de esperanza y ánimo...
