Background:
Diagnosed in 2016 & followed SCD diet. Since Jan, 2019 on Paleo diet.
Have been on Entocort since July 2017 but only on 3 mg/day for last year. Have never had any remission that lasted more than a few days. Did blood test for IgA antibodies per recommendation & tested OK to do Enterolab test.
Now plan to go egg free & try to figure out contamination sources for rest. Have some good idea from reading Wayne Persky's book.
-what is a safe diet going forward so I can get enough protein? Do I have to just eat pork, potato & cashew milk til I get into remission? The interpretation indicated not to cut out all... but how to proceed?
-does reacting to tuna include all fish?
-would love to taper off entocort. IYO would it be better to start now or wait and see if I can get into remission with diet?
Also is there a link to a page on how to use this forum?

That's basically what I did. Meat contains all the amino acids essential for good health. Humans do not need carbs in their diet — only protein and fat. So eat fatty meat.

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.
