MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

I keep almond flour, brown rice flour, cornflour and potato flour as staples in my kitchen.

I mainly make flatbreads from my flours. All my efforts at baking have ended in disaster and very heavy stodgy baked goods that could not be eaten.

I started taking three teaspoons of chia seeds in my cocoa drink to bolster my magnesium intake. I just stir the chia seeds in when I make the cocoa. It's an acquired taste, I only have it because I am determined to get better.

Fortunately, chia seeds don't seem to be an issue with me.

Much is written about Tumeric and its benefits so I have also taken a serious look at it for daily use.

After coming off my NSAID in September 2015 I was prepared to try just about anything. I believe the secret to success with Tumeric is in the preparation before eating. Tumeric must be heated in ...

I bought myself a few kilos of magnesium for my baths. On Saturday evening I had my first

Hello Alchemy.....

So sorry to hear you are having a bad time. I guess everyone has said it all.

Welcome Allie.........

I'm not officially diagnosed as having MC or intolernces purely because it appears the medical ...

Hi Vanessa.......

Hope you return to good health soon.
I believe we are all just one food item or meal away from a flare. Hope you find your culprit soon.

Welcome Lizabelle........

Wishing you well on your road to recovery.
I found turkey breast was a very satisfying source of protein in the early days.

Hi Renee,

food cautiously.

The first fruit I added to my diet were the berries - blue berries, strawberries and raspberries. I added a very small quantity of one type at a time and just ...

Gosh Tex.....

For the past thirty years, the first time was after surgery, I had my first laryngospasm. I am not sure if these episodes are related to allergies but they very well make have some connection.
