MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

yeah, i know. im afraid im never gonna have a good diagnose.
If they find notting; they gonna say IBS. with my positive calprotectin tests and nightly sweats and cramps.. IBS isnt a criteria at all.
I think its non-characterised chronic inflammation. thats the thing im suspecting thats a real ...

Jimbo... did ur MRI show inflammation itself?
A side of the biopsy i mean. did the MRI himself show the microscopic inflammation in your small intestine?

ps: how did they do the jejunum biopsy? they are gonna do a duodenum biopsy for me and a pill camera. but they cant reach the jejunum.
did u ask ...

Jimbo1968..... I got simular case then u !!!
I got positive calprotectins (277 and 141), and no CRP in blood.
I also have some stings and the pain is mostly in jejunum for me. its just a finger under belly button at left side. but generally, it moves trough my small intestine.
I think we have a ...

Thx guys

Thx Tex! thats a whole lot to read and explaination.
So basicly we can conclude that rice is the safest one for most of us.
How can I know for sure it doesnt trigger?
Should I eat chicken and vegetables for 3 days straight only and see?

I know gluten and grains triggers inflammation but why potato and rice not? Rice is a grain wich also have lectin in it.
I have read an article why rice also could trigger inflammation.
Tex and other, what do u think??

Cooking destroys some of the lectins but not all.

Yeah, true.
But i was already on the mc diet for 2 years. And food poisoning gave me this disease anyway.
So diet or not. It is triggered.
Or does my body needs another year now to down regulate the confused inflammation?

My calprotectin was 277, a week later 48, two weeks later 141.
I got stiff ...

Hi tex

Yeah, ppi is pure evil, i know. But it helped my gastritis big time.
But like u say, it wont do the gi tract any good on other sides.

Im cold turkey off ppi now. Severe rebound yes like i knew.
But im taking baking soda all day in between meals.
Hopefully i can hold it off. The reflux isnt ...

Thx tex.
But i dont really feel this inflammation is caused by ppi at all.

2 years ago food poisoning gave me sibo.

Now i had again food poisoning and burning intestine cramps and pain comes.

So, the only thing that changed was the poisoning wich triggerd for sure the inflammation.
But like u say ...

Thx Gabes en Tex

Gabes:
why do u think that vit d + magnesium glycinate would eliminate gastritis?
its actually a too thin mucosal layer in my stomach. I have interstitial cystitis too: also a too thin mucosal layer wich gives burning because the walls are irritated.
I have tried like 1000 things ...

Thx!!

Thx guys

No, i had ibs for two years.. Only bloating.
That was ok.

But since a month ago i had food poisoning and cramps and burning and pain is there also now.

I only drink water.
Maybe its the ppi that i take for gastritis.
I will try to skip that for a few days and ...
