Hyaluronic Acid
I'm wondering about hyaluronic acid (in a serum for my face) and colitis. I found an article here https://www.hindawi.com/journals/ijcb/2015/481301/ but it's too technical for me. Does anyone have thoughts on whether this serum used on my face could be causing more inflammation than benefit? Should I discontinue it? Thanks!

Hi Karis,
I'm not aware of any research data specific to the effects of hyaluronic acid on the inflammation associated with MC, but there are research data showing that mice which have been subjected to chemically-induced colitis can be healed with treatment by hyaluronic acid.
Hyaluronic acid as a rescue therapy for trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid-induced colitis through Cox-2 and PGE2 in a Toll-like receptor 4-dependent way
Based on that evidence, I would conclude that there is a good chance that a skin treatment with a product containing hyaluric acid should not negatively affect your MC, unless some other ingredient is problematic. However, note that there is a significant difference in our individual tolerance levels of various commercial products when we are in stable remission, in contrast with when we are in recovery.
I hope this helps.

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.
