MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Dear Tex,

No it's 2 units !!

Dear Tex,

Here's an update about my very good Enterolab test (see upper in the post).
I made the tests to be sure I had no igA defficiency. It seems I have not.

As a reminder here are my Enterolab results ( I was not taking Entocort when I did my test 8 weeks ago ) :

Comprehensive Gluten ...

Hi Guys,

I will soon do a test to check if I'm not igA deficient - I have the prescription from my Doc. It will help me to know if Enterolab results were ok as far as they are really good.
@Tex : I think it's better to wait for this check before you put my results online, but of course I agree to ...

Dear all,

As promised here are my results from Enterolab :

Comprehensive Gluten/Antigenic Food Sensitivity Stool Panel

Fecal Anti-gliadin IgA 11 Units (Normal Range is less than 10 Units)

Fecal Anti-casein (cow’s milk) IgA 4 Units (Normal Range is less than 10 Units)

Fecal Anti-ovalbumin ...

Dear both,

Thanks a lot for your answers :)

@Tex : Is there any difference concerning the efficacity btw Budenofalk & Entocort ? What is strange is that Entocort is only prescribed for little to moderate Crohn when Budenofalk (Mikicort for me) is also prescribed for Collagenous colitis. Do you ...

Hi guys,

I'm still fighting against LC...
A new GI asked me to try MIKICORT (french equivalent of Budenofalk for you in the US) vs Entocort this time for 12 weeks at 9 mg then 8 weeks at 6 mg and 1 month at 3).

My question is simple : I've started it 8 days ago and I'm still having severe diarrhea ...

Dear all,

I've just gone off entocort 2 weeks ago. Is it ok for me to ask for a test from Enterolab or is it too soon ? I don't want to receive false negative as far as It will be very costly for me to do this test (especially sending from France) :(

Thanks :)

Max

Dear all,

thx again for all those who have answered and gave me advices.
I still don't understand what is happening to me. It seems that I have a big flare since I've stopped the 2 pills of entocort vs 1 pill or maybe something else happened. I had no such bad symptoms since a long time. I took 2 ...

Dear all,

Erratum : in my post I said I was 25nmol/l but actually I'm 25ng/l for D vitamin which is really higher...
Still, is it enough ? What's a right level for our condition ?

@Gabes : thanks a lot for your advices :) I still have to investigate ln soy!

Cheers

Max

Dear Tex & Nancy,

Thx a lot for your answers :grin:

I will take much more d vitamin. Do you have a brand to advise ? Qualitative & not too expansive ? I'm still in my last month of 1 pill entocort & I feel a bit sad to understand that only now...

Do you think it is kind of risky to restart ...

Dear all,

Since I've written the post you can see here : http://www.perskyfarms.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=19844 , I had a new treatment with Entocort (8 weeks three pills, 6 weeks two pills, 4 weeks a pill). I've been gluten free for more than a year now (only with some gluten accident sometimes ...

Dear Tex & Brandy,

Thx a lot for your quick answer. I need to investigate more about this.

I have another question. Which enterolab test you'd advice me to order ? It seems to me that the most important is to start with A1 panel ? With that one I will know if I have a problem with caseine & soy ...

Dear all,

I'm under entocort since 3 weeks now (@9mg) with "up & down" improvements.

I've already had this treatment (4 weeks 9mgs / 4 weeks 6mg /4 weeks 3 mg) in late 2013.

Now I'm trying 8 weeks at 9mg then 6 weeks at 6mg and I will finish 4 weeks at 3mg.

As far as I'm living in France, it's ...

Dear Tex,

Thanks for your answer.

For sure by now it's not easy to admit that I will have to deal with it all my life. I have to & I need to. Hope new medecines will pop up one day...

I totaly understand what you mean saying IBS "doesn't exist" as far as this is what has been told to me by the ...

First, I'd like to thank you so much for all your answers : Linda, Tex, Suze, Gabes :)

I did read a lot about Mast Cells now and I've understood much more about it, thx to Tex links - i've also read a very interesting article from a GI specialized french association that, if you can read french, is ...
