MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Sammy, I am writing to you primarily to welcome you to this amazing forum! And remember, that even though we here are all full of, well, poop and we tell each other about it, there are many amazing people here that could very well help you! Where else can you do that??? I'm not familiar with many of...

Thank you for you honest opinion, Tex. I will review "Understanding Microscopic Colitis", as you advised. I'll be checking back soon, primarily to catch up on different topics and to see how people are managing their individual MC. Also I'd like to see if others are having similar problems...

Many, many thanks, Tex! I know that magnesium is a very important part of the body's needs, and now you shed even more light on its importance! I've recently taken a complete blood "panel" test, whatever that is, but I have no clue about the inclusion of magnesium in that test. I won't get...

Hi, it's been awhile since I've been on this forum. So, I'm a semi-newbie because I've probably missed a lot. I've been recently diagnosed with hypertension/AKA high blood pressure. I'm taking Lisinopril, 5 MG. I've never had to be on blood pressure medicine. The side effect I've experienced so far ...

Thank you Gabes! My favorite line is "what do doctors know?" They basically don't take the time to learn what really goes on in real life!
Ok. I will search "bile". As for the D3 test, what would they be looking for?
Be back soon!
Anna

Hello fellow sufferers and all the supporters! I'm still a bit new here, but already I learned more than I ever knew before. It can be overwhelming, but as Gabes told me, take a deep breath and just start a little at a time. I previously complained that I often have constipation and diarrhea on the ...

You and Tex are a blessing! Thank you with all my heart! I've learned more in 2 days than I have since I was diagnosed well over a year ago!!! I even sent this website to the T.Colin Campbell Foundation because they are a plant based diet website. T. Colin Campbell wrote the unbelievable book called...

I was just going to ask about wine..I enjoy a glass, about 4 oz. or 2 with dinner or one without or after dinner. I'm not quite sure if it has an inflammation effect or not since I'm new to this amazing forum. I'm still exploring what to eat and what not to eat. The available help on this forum is u...

Thanks, Gabes! I never knew this disease was so complicated to cure or even put in remission. I know I've definitely not eaten right at all! And I repeat, doctors are no help! My gastroenterologist never offered a diet plan, I had to ask, and I think it's the one mentioned in many posts..can't recal...

Thank you for your reply Gabes-apg, I am a bit overwhelmed, but I guess it's best to start in simple steps. I already take vitamin D, 50,000 units 1x per week, as prescribed. Last blood test said I was ok. I don't know how much magnesium to take, so should I ask the pharmacist? The doctor never ment...

Just started this forum today. Very complex, though interesting. Being a newbie, I started by looking at what helps relieve symptoms, foods to eat and avoid. I don't like using meats for protein. I was hoping I could eat a mostly plant proteins and grain, and vegetables, etc. I can't afford Budesoni...
