MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Thanks so much for all the great suggestions Brandy! I was already considering starting to cook with cast-iron, I will have to go shopping this weekend! I try to include shrimp in my diet as much as possible, it's one shellfish I seem to tolerate well. I may even considering giving liver a try - it ...

Thanks Tex. I think I'm going to attempt it. I asked my doctor to do an IgA deficiency test and he said there was no need for it and no need for Enterolab testing. Rather than fight the fight, I think because my body is still reacting to something there should be enough of a response to at least ...

Tex - yes, I have been on birth control since about 14. I've read a lot about the downfalls of being on it with MC, but unfortunately I need it to regulate my endometriosis or I will be in even worse shape!

for the Almond milk, I have been using Almond breeze w/coconut. It's a new one out ...

I couldn't agree more about what I'm learning helping her! Naturally I am concerned about the possibility of her developing this awful disease, so I have already tried to start exposing her to more of my "safe" foods, and having her try different things I have baked or new things I have tried. The ...

I don't believe I've seen a discussion about this before, but I could have missed it.... Have any of you had success with Vitamin B injections? I am currently taking a pill form Vitamin B complex, which my doctor and Pharmacist both believe is "safe" for my tummy. But I have recently been given the ...

I believe mine was caused by a mixture of things - excessive long-term stress, use of PPI for gerd (Nexium), prior AI disease (endometriosis), lack of vitamin D, and possibly genetic (my mother, sister, and grandmother have had both endometriosis and bowel issues as far back as I can remember). It ...

I have tried to eat smaller amounts throughout the day as I find it helps to deal with the nausea. Bigger meals lead to trouble - bloating, nausea, and sometimes D. I will continue to work on eating more throughout the day. Thanks for the suggestions on the muffins! I usually bring a GF banana ...

Also forgot to mention - have been tested for thyroid, normal results. I have noticed I bruise very easily though and cuts and scrapes take a very long time to heal - I'm guessing due to inflammation? I also tore some ligaments in my ankle about 2 months ago and am still experiencing quite a bit of ...

Thanks for the quick reply Gabes.....

I initially didn't take out eggs, but thought they might be an issue early on. Well, I was right! When testing boiled eggs, I reacted within 1/2 hour with cramps and WD. I seem to do ok if they are baked in my homemade muffins or baked rice, but definitely not ...

Like many others, I have been reading through this forum for quite some time before actually getting to a point where it was time to post! So, hello to all of you, who I already feel I know, and thank you so much for all your help on this journey!

A bit about me - I'm a 34 year old female, I was ...
