Vitamin D3 capsules that don't contain olive oil
Hello. Does anyone take D3 that doesn't contain olive oil? I tried Dr.'s Best but it gave me an all over weird feeling which I think was caused by the olive oil. Thanks!

I've had good luck with a brand called Pure Encapsulations. You typically find them on Amazon and here's the direct link to their website: https://www.pureencapsulations.com/
Hope that helps!

I don't; I'm sorry! I swear by essential oils topically and by diffusion, but I just don't take them internally. I use Young Living and diffuse Thieves all the time in my office at work and have stayed very healthy.

Karen,
Please be aware that despite the fact that a lot of people seem to think that peppermint is soothing for their digestion, it's actually one of the most common triggers for heartburn and reflux (GERD). And GERD is a very common problem for MC patients. Peppermint can increase your chances of developing GERD because it relaxes the lower esophageal sphincter (the muscle that separates the stomach from the esophagus). This allows stomach acids to flow back into the esophagus. It doesn't always happen to everyone, of course, but peppermint significantly increases the risk.

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.
Most of us have a problem with citric acid (in significant amounts) while we are recovering, but a single drop shouldn't change the acidity level enough to cause any problems.

Tex,
Good to know. I hope all my questions are not too much, but I have a few more. :-)
I saw in another post (about the origin of the penguins) you said that the forum used to be much more active. What changed? Surely the incidence of MC hasn't decreased, where is everyone? I personally am thrilled to have found this forum!
Bacon and ham in Stage 1?
And, since I started Stage 1 5 days ago my D has been consistently very yellow (as it periodically was before starting the elimination diet), does this indicate anything?
Thanks!

Hi Karen,
In the beginning we were a very close knit group, and we all knew each other well (some of us even met in person). We came from another message board that was falling apart due to lack of administration and moderation. Budesonide was not yet available. Everyone didn't spend too much of their time on Facebook trying to impress others (or sell something). We chatted constantly. There were usually over a hundred posts each day, back then even though we had a relatively small number of members. Our standard valediction (in US English, complementary close in UK English) was love, followed by our name. But as the years went by, lives changed, and most people got tired of answering the same questions over and over again when newbies joined. And as soon as most new members were able to achieve remission of their symptoms, they rode off into the sunset, to resume their lives where they had left off when MC interrupted them.
It seems to be a different world now. Back in those days the internet was still relatively young, and it was an innocent, rather safe place to get together. Today it's exploited by huge companies collecting all the personal information that they can get their claws on, spammers, blackmailers, trolls, and plenty of people all over the world who don't what else to do with their lives except to hang around on the internet looking for some way to pretend to have a life, or maybe to strike it rich. Whatever, it's a different world, and everyone seems to have a different attitude now, compared with back then. Most new members never post. And when this website was hacked a month or so ago, and I had to shut it down while we went through all the files to make sure that we didn't miss any malware, I was amazed at the number of people who wrote me to ask about the forum, who weren't even members, but who read the posts daily. So for whatever reason, people just don't post as much these days. Most people seem to be much busier these days, than they used to be.
Back in 2005, almost 100 % of the members posted regularly. Today, I'm guessing that only about 10–15 % of new members ever post, and it's pretty rare for a new member to post even occasionally for more than a year or two. It's a faster world today, and our lives are more complicated. Most of us have way too many irons in the fire, so we tend to move on to the next venture in our lives at a faster pace, as time goes on. But I can only guess.
It's certainly possible that you might not react to processed (cured) meats, but it's safer to avoid them while following a recovery diet, in order to maximize the chances of success. The problem is that if you overlook one major food sensitivity, that might frustrate any hopes of gaining remission. Overlooking a minor food sensitivity is not as bad, but it will certainly delay healing. That said, if you feel that pork is safe for you, uncured bacon is available. Some members use that while recovering.
Yellow stool is usually a sign of shorter than normal turnaround times in the digestive tract. Bilirubin normally turns the red blood cells in stool brown. If not enough time is allowed, the process won't be completed and the stool can be yellow or even green. Bright yellow stool can be a sign of Giardiasis, but pale yellow color can even be due to abnormally low levels of bile in the stool. Since gallbladder issues are associated with MC, this is also probably due to active MC. In virtually every situation where MC is involved, stool color will return to normal when the inflammation (and the clinical symptoms) are brought under control.
I hope this helps.
