MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

I have not posted here in over a year so I must have been doing better than I currently feel like I am. I decided to "see" one of the popular online Functional Medicine MDs via video conference. After completing the quite extensive questionnaire I was scheduled with a "health practitioner" who under ...

I have the ReMag but have only tried it once and it gave me D again. I do plan to get the more tolerated one mentioned on this site. I visited with my FM doctor today via skype and she is starting me on B12 injections again. She feel that the BMS is neurological and due to my inability to ...

Ok thank you for the interpretation. I am semi relieved that my burning mouth/tongue are unrelated to salicylate intolerance. I meet today with my Functional Medicine MD. Thanks again Tex

Tex,

I read the older thread RE: burning mouth syndrome and also reread the Mast Cell info from one of my previous questions. I noticed in the MCAD info there is mention of Salicylate sensitivity. In your opinion, do you think that could be an issue for me and if so, is there a "test" for that ...

Erica P G why did you switch from Allegra to Zyrtec?

Tex has your next book discussing "that mast cells are the primary engine driving the inflammation associated with MC and all other autoimmune issues"been published yet?

Thanks Tex I should have been more clear about the antihistamines, I have only stopped taking Allegra for a couple of weeks and the burning mouth actually first appeared while I was still taking Allegra. I however notice that I am so sensitive to chemicals such as fertilizers or bug sprays and my ...

I have always found so much help in this forum and I am hopeful that this time will not be different. I have finally gotten off of the antihistamines that I used to taper off of budesonide and was going along well until this showed up 6 weeks ago. My mouth and tongue are "on fire" also with ...

Regarding Spinach...I have been afraid to reintroduce it. Do most of you tolerate it only cooked or will I "someday" be able to tolerate raw in my smoothies?

Tex

I just assumed all of the antihistamines were "created equal" I will try Allegra. Thanks so much for the suggestion!

Thanks Gabe and Tex

No I'm definitely not getting 400mg of Magnesium. I've ordered the supplement that you recommended. I will look at the post that you recommended, Gabe

And Tex, I have stopped the probiotic for a month or more at a time and a couple of times...no difference noted.

Thank you all ...

Hi Gabe thanks so very much for replying!

Absolutely NO exposure to Gluten (I am also a registered Dietitian my household is GF 3 of us have Celiac) I follow a Paleo diet so I am eating very clean and nothing from a box or premade. I am currently avoiding eggs ( for probably 1 month now) and ...

UPDATE:

Seven months now since tapering completely off Busdesonide by taking antihistimines (Claritin and occasionally Benydrl @ bedtime). Mostly having soft but formed BM every morning but I would say that 1 out of every 2 days my second BM of the day is D. So, am I better...yes but, what is with ...

Tex or Gabe

Also am I to assume that because the D has stopped since beginning the antihistamines that I DO have mast cell activation issues?

The reason that I'm asking is rereading the symptoms of Mast Cell issues I don't detect any problems after eating high histamine foods (except for a stuffy ...

TEX and GABE thank you both so much I will read/do all that you have suggested! I can't thank you both enough for the help you have given me!! I will post another follow up in 8 weeks off of Budesonide
