Hi Ares,
You can look at some of these ideas....and see if anything might be able to work for your circumstances....you do have certain things available to you that may or may not work.
Warmly,
Erica

I'm drinking water, water, lukewarm water, but I have dry skin but above all I don't have shiny skin, I don't have smooth and beautiful skin like fat or young people, my skin is waterless, it's not hydrated, and if you allow me faeces are the dehydrated ones of the 2nd type according to the scale of feces,? why doesn't my body want to accumulate water ?? why don't I have the classic microscopic colitis diarrhea? not that it is a beautiful thing but I have no more diarrhea :(, I discovered that the magnesium I take is glycinate and a part of magnesium oxide, I do not know magnesium malate I hope it is not as strong as citrate, the thing that scares me is that even eating fruit and vegetables does not change much except the increase in gas, surely I eat things that are not going well, one time I only ate meat and vegetables and I was constipated worse. :( I made the broth one day and I had the reflux, and something that is not making me live anymore and the burning in my mouth, I don't want to take ppt, can I take betaine hcl by trying it myself?

Hi Ares,
You may need the Betaine HCL (yes you can purchase this on your own with no prescription :-)

You may need fats in your diet and this is why you’re stools are drier and why you don’t feel your stools are wet enough, hence why constipation is an issue for you right now. Since fiber is rough on us that is why I’m not suggesting it at this time.

Fruit sugars are giving you gas, they don’t break down well without proper HCL in the stomach along with good bacteria. A way to help the good bacteria is to take S Boulardii at breakfast time for a couple weeks, take a week off and do it again until you feel your bacteria population make changes that your food is digesting better. I had to do this for a few months to get on track better.

thank Erica P-G
but I have a burning sensation in my mouth all day long including night must be gerd reflux but if I take Betaine Hcl I do not risk having a worse effect for the burning of the mouth, I do not know what fat to eat because the coconut oil makes me ache head, and the extra virgin olive oil burns in my throat, in fact I take only the olive oil, I'm trying to take apple cider vinegar with water but I don't know if it really does me good, last night I took magnesium after dinner and it made me sick of head, in more I have read that the apple vinegar is a fermented product therefore it enters between the foods with high histamine (and in the foods that have or that they create a high value of histamine they cause me a headache)

hello, but S. boulardii is not a yeast anyway? and the yeasts like that of pizza swell and create gas, I remember having taken them so many years ago and as I took them I swelled, maybe I was wrong in how and how much to take them ???

Hi Ares,

If Saccharomyces boulardii is not a yeast, I'm a monkey's uncle. :monkey: It's distinctly different from other stains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (brewer's yeast), but it's definitely classified as a strain of yeast.

The reason why you developed gas when you took brewer's yeast is because most of us produce antibodies to brewer's yeast when our MC is active, so we have to avoid it.

thank you, but I took the S boulardii is I had gas (not brewer's yeast) and if I have to be honest the times I took s boulardii I had a headache (I thought it was yeast effect candida effect not knowing yet to have MC)? also L. Reuteri and I had the same gas! with the magnesium Malate I go to the bathroom safe?
I try again to take S.Boulardii

Note that I didn't say that I recommend taking yeast of any type. Many of us (maybe most of us) cannot tolerate probiotic products before we are in remission.
