Hi guys!
Checking in to tell you about real improvement, for the first time in years!
I have been taking mega doses of mag and vit C, and now am on lactulose 10-15 mL 2x a day, and have had spontaneous BMs for the past 4 days. Not quite N, but very little mucous, and not too muddy. No floaties. What an improvement.
I have split my LDN dose to am and pm. Much, much better!
I've been waiting to see that update for a long time.

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
Not longer than me! As Gabes keeps reminding me - it's progress, not perfection, I am not pain free, I am still tired a lot of the time, but between LDN and these remedies things are so very much better.
Brilliant, Lesley, that is a huge struggle you've had.
I am so grateful my LC was diagnosed after only 2 months of D, and that I found this website with so much knowledge, support and compassion.

Congratulations, Lesley - finally taking steps in the right direction. It has been TOO long. I've been waiting to hear this news from you.
Wishing you continued improvement!

May I ask you, since I'm new and we live in different countries with different cultures (also medically I think)... why do you take Lactulose? Is that a way for you to tolerate lactose?
Hope my question is not far out
Best regards,
