MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

So good to hear from you Tex...thank you for your reply. I hope all is well with you.

I pop in from time to time to use the research tool or ask a question. INVALUABLE! The potty people played an important part in my not losing my mind after being diagnosed with MC.

Yes, I still reference your ...

I have been prescribed Cefdinir for bronchitis. After researching, I asked the doctor if he could prescribe Zithromax instead.
He said it would not work as well, but is sending in a script. After researching..."Dr. Internet" stated that the Z-pack is prescribed for bronchitis.

I have been doing ...

Well, Tex, I guess I will ride this out and pray for the best. I will definitely be more aware and firm about any antibiotics that are suggested for me to take in the future. Doctors can be so persuasive in their reasoning and I was feeling rushed to make a decision.

I thank you so VERY much for ...

Tex, I didn't have much time to make a decision, so I chose one (Keflex)...I will probably regret it, but didn't know what else to do at the time.

I am going to make a copy of your reply and place in my MC folder. Seems I can't find the info when I'm searching and it's just easier to keep a folder ...

Thank you for responding Jeanine.

I believe Zithromax might be one I remember others taking. I wasn't given that choice by my dentist who said we've got to get the infection down in order to do the root canal and it has to be done this week. So I feel as if I am between a rock and a hard place...I ...

Could anyone give me input on which of these antibiotics would be safest for MC.

I've been given three that the dentist asked that I choose from for what he's treating.

They are:
Amox 500 mg
Keflex 500 mg
Cleocin 300 mg

Thank you,
Terre

Everything I know, I learned here, so I should have just referred her to this site!

Thanks for your input Vanessa. I am using the ReMag product. I'll check it out.

Tex, I have a question regarding the Thorne Methyl-Guard Plus. If a person doesn't have methylation issues (or doesn't know), is it safe to take this product since it is more concentrated? I looked at the original Methyl-Guard, but it does not contain B-2.

Funny (but sad) story: I called customer ...

That's all I needed to hear Tex, I'm going to order some and give it a try.

Thanks for all of your help,
Terre

Erica, thanks for the info on Jarrows. I remember what a tough time you had last year and hope you sail through this year. We had a VERY mild winter, so no telling what we're in for in AR.

All the best,
Terre

Thanks Gabes!

Doing both of those. Maybe I need more fat? I'm afraid to take fish oil....matter of fact, I'm afraid to take anything new for fear I will go backwards.

Thanks,
Terre

Gabes, thanks so much for your input. I'm covering the main priorities (not sure if I am taking correct amounts), it's just that my hair is in terrible condition (worse than I can ever remember) and I was thinking that maybe a multi would help.

BTW, you're the bomb too! Just have no idea where I ...

Sorry to disagree, but I think I would!:lol:
