Maybe, if you're still having symptoms after carefully following the diet for a long time (such as a year or more).

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.

Re: Testing for MTHFR mutations?
I did the test for the two main MTHFR mutations 1298 and 677
I had neither.
Methylation is a majority complex cycle in our body and is way more than just those 2 sap's. There is a section of the forum with discussions and information
When I did full genetic testing about 10 years ago, I was able to get a methylation profile for the 25 snp's that are key to methylation cycle
that is where my issues were one of which was related to Vit D3
I know for USA residents there are privacy and data issues/risks with doing genetic testing etc etc.
For me the $250 for the full testing and subsequent reports were one of the key things that helped me resolve multiple auto immune issues
I still have the reports, and have used the info in them with multiple functional practitioners over the past 10 years and it has helped us at varying stages of my healing journey.
Even now as I deal with Breast Cancer and other oxidative stress reactions going on in my body some of the info in these reports are helping us to fine tune supplements and areas of the methylation cycle where there is currently imbalance
It was researching the Vit D snp and reading about vitamin D receptor in the cell that got me into the information about how important Magnesium is for utilisation of Vit D in the body. this was a major breakthrough for many people in this group.
