MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Marcus, I'm sorry that I don't have the specifics of that testing information for you and my doctor does not have a paper published on this particular treatment. I had tons of testing done and it was all a very complicated, long process. If you can tell me where you live I could find out if there is...

Monique, My doctor is a regular MD but practices more holistic treatment methods. He will use certain drugs if needed but prefers more natural ways. Jon, the Amino Acid injections were given in the butt cheek :shock: They were pretty uncomfortable as they are a thick liquid that have to be injected ...

Jon,

Doctor did lots of testing, blood and stool. Unfortunately I did not understand all of the testing so can't comment on the results. The injections went into the muscle.

Joan, My doctor is in Indianapolis. Injections are about $300 each......a chunk of change for treatment but so worth it to feel normal again:) Good luck with the research as I have never been able to find much info online about this particular therapy. Here is one article that I found online, this d...

Hi Friends, I have not posted in a very long time but feel that I need to share my wonderful news in hopes that it will help someone else. I would be happy to answer any questions about this treatment that anyone may have. I have been seeing a doctor for a little over two years now and have had grea...

Hi Nancy! Martha mentioned about the sisters in Missouri who make the gluten free hosts (they actually have a teenie tiny bit of gluten). I order my hosts from them and take my host in a pix to Mass with me. Our parish allows me to put the pix on the tray with the chalice before Mass begins then it ...

Wow Nancy.....this looks amazing!! I will definitely try this!

Kimberly

Gloria- I will definitely take the time to read your thread! Thanks for bringing that to my attention. I am so sorry for all you have been thru and your list of food sensitivities.......that must be soo difficult! You seem to have a great outlook though and will figure it all out! This disease sure ...

What is kombucha? Could you share your recipe??

Thanks!
Kimberly

Hi Zizzle! The lab my doctor used for the testing is Doctors Data. The test was a yeast susceptibility test. The test he did also tested for overall health of the intestines......IOW the ratio of benificial flora to bad. I sure was surprised to see how out of whack my system was! Doctor believes it ...

Hi Gloria! Wow...... Entocort remains in your system for 12 weeks??! UUGGHH!!! I am soo sorry your symptoms returned...what a disappointment having to go back on the Entocort after 20 weeks. I was on 1 pill every other day for 1 month. I just started 1 pill every 3rd day and will do that for a while...

Hi Friends! I have asked many questions on this site and haven't offered much advice. I have felt pretty lost this past year and half with this disease. I have had some recent success that I'd like to share in hopes it may help some of you who continue to struggle with no success as I did for so lon...

Hi Friends! I have a question for those of you who have successfully tapered completely off Entocort. It seems that clearing up a nasty candida infection in my gut has helped to heal my MC. I am down to 1 Entocort (3mg) every other day and doing very well. Should I go to 1 every third day now?? At w...

Hi Sara and everyone interested in Paleo, Our family has been eating this way for a little while now.....probably not too strictly but a semi-loose version. I love the Weston A. Price Foundation....lots of great info. on that website! Also have you heard of Everyday Paleo?? She has a great website a...

I hear ya Sharaine! I was amazed to find out that Chic-Fil-A has gluten in every one of their chicken dishes as well!! I think the first year is the hardest when it comes to figuring out what you can and can't eat and what to eat when you're out and about. Good Luck to you and hang in there!! Kimber...
