MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Hello! I saw this topic and am jumping on it because I have a related question. My Enterolab kit will be arriving shortly. I have been following the restricted recovery diet for about 5 weeks. Will the test pick up all those potentially risky foods that I stopped eating? Sorry if this is repetative,...

Hoooray!!!!!!

Best regards, Lisa

Good Morning Tex - and thank you for your reply. So, I checked my food journal and the last spec of gluten that I consumed was hemp protein powder on 11/29. I live alone and so its easy for me to control going forward. And since that day I also have religiously been following the recovery diet outli...

Thank you Tex - in your experience can the abdominal discomfort be part of Budesonide side effects? Lisa B

Ooops - forgot to mention thinning hair and tenderness/bloating in lower abdomen. Lisa B

Good Morning Friends - I am completely perplexed and hope someone can shed some light. My first course of Bud immediately stopped D, I continued eating normally for me while taking i (90% GF and Dairy free, super low suger), otherwise normal unrestricted, with cup of coffee and occasional wine (ok p...

Hi Tex - Just an update - I did call the lab and speak to Dr. Fine, he said not to worry about the Budesonide, it would not impact test results.

Hi Tex - thank you for your response, I very much appreciate it. But what is confusing to me is that I have never, to my knowledge, ever had a reaction to any food at all, until now. And since I am on Budesonide now any reactions would be masked. As I understand it, the recovery diet is intended to ...

Greeting!! I am seeking to faithfully adhere to the recovery diet - but have questions on the difference between a list I copied from Tex and from the Guidelines for Recovery listed by Gabes - and I think my confusion may be based on geographical differences on names of food or availability, and so ...

Thank you Gabes, for this reassuring and supporting message. I am just starting this journey and I REALLY needed to hear this!

Hi Tex - I greatly appreciate your super helpful and super fast response. I am waiting for your books to arrive, another wealth of information from your years of experience that you are sharing! Can you help me with the timing of the Enterolab testing given the Budosonide. Three months from April-Ju...

Hello again! I have just read the page on the Recovery Diet, Phase One, which answered my questions about bread, and substitute dairy butter and feta. Thank you Gabs-Apg!!!

Greetings! I have been scrolling through and trying to absorb as much wisdom as possible from this amazing group - the accumulated knowledge and willingness to help is beyond remarkable. I hope you can direct me in moving forward with my newly diagnosed MC. A little background - I am 64, active (wel...
