MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

A while back I bought some One A Day multivitamins, which now seem to come in many formulas, Womens, Mens, Seniors, etc etc. I bought the one labeled Cholesterol Plus. It contains policosinol. I am not big on herbs, etc. at all. Didn't expect anything special to happen. Within a couple of days, amaz...

Hi Tex, yes I do have concerns about meat and cholesterol. My total number is 240 but my HDL is very high, LDL not so great and triglycerides not too great. Still, the ratio is good....and I have tried Lipitor with muscle pain so couldn't take it. I scanned over some literature on Paleo, and had ham...

Hello, all...haven't been on this site for a very long time because things have been going pretty good. But then.....after being GF for 4.5 yrs because I thought I had Celiac, I was dx's with LC. Also, told to eat gluten, by my gastro. Tried it....nothing but heartburn, so gave up gluten. Now, latel...

I have a new e-mail address and don't know how to change my profile. I tried to change it and it defaulted back to my old address.??? Thanks

Shirley, I had a torn meniscus in my knee a couple years ago, and had arthroscopic surgery. It wasn't that bad, and afterward the recovery involved some physical therapy, and it seems good as new now. Took about a year to get as good as new. I tore mine in a fall. I was trying to dig a hole in hard ...

Thanks, Tex for the suggestion about giving up soy for a while. Many years ago I had tested for reactions to various foods (blood test) don't know what the test was called...it came back with high numbers against bananas, eggs, clams and tea. I have been using soy milk for calcium and also to put on...

I wish you luck with your diet. I am also trying to figure out what works and what does not. All very confusing as what works for one does not for the other. I am once again GF and CF and wondering if I should also give up lectins.??

Hi Joanna, I live in Wadena, MN which is between Aitkin and Fergus Falls. So far, I have never met anyone who had these unique health problems, except on the internet. In addition to staying GF, I am going to try an elimination diet, of sorts. This website is sooo helpful, and I am feeling like I wa...

I am happy to read the recent postings regarding diagnosing folks with CD symptoms who after having small intestine biopsies, don't get a definitive diagnosis of CD due to findings of "only" mild irritative response with normal architectural structure. I just had endoscopy with biopsies an...

I just discovered gluten-free foods on Amazon.com in their grocery section. I had been paying an arm and a leg for Mesa Sunrise cereal, including big shipping, and here I find the same product for much much less, plus no shipping! Also Gluten-Free Pantry foods and many others. Such a deal!

I missed that show on The View where wheat affecting people's health was discussed. Elizabeth Hasselbeck, one of the hosts, has Celiac Disease and knows too well how wheat can be a poison to some of us.

Today I started back on the GF diet and because I get so miserable from dairy, bloated, D, rapid pulse after drinking milk, I am wondering if I am also casein sensitive. What would be some good food sources of calcium to get the 1500 mg per day, other than pills? Any suggestions? Thanks.

I am enjoying this site, but kinda wonder wazzup with the penguins??

Thanks for all your warm welcomes. The years that I was GF I remember not having the constant heartburn. Actually, when I wasn't GF, I had it so bad I sat up in bed to sleep! It only took a couple days of GF to make a big difference. When I mentioned going GF again, the other half looked like grim d...

I am a newbie to this site. For the past five years I have followed the GF diet because it practically eliminated the Big D which attacked me in 2001. Nothing else helped. I did this without any doctor recommending it. I did have blood tests for Celiac which were normal, except for IGG? of 78 which ...
