MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Hi all,

I've been following the Linus Pauling Institute at Oregon State University for a few years and just saw their most recent newsletter that discusses the work they are doing on a hop-based extract called xanthohumol that appears to benefit the gut. This is the first micro nutrient or ...

Hi all,

Quick recap. I've had MC for about 4 years. I've had major heartburn for many years and was on Nexium and Omeprazole. Both of these are proton pump inhibitors and are very powerful. Combined with liberal use of NSAIDs and perhaps Lipitor, I damaged my own gut. I'm a male, age 63, in ...

Hi Tex,

Thank you so much for that, I've changed my user name and I'm good. I ordered your book this week and am looking forward to getting smarter about how to manage or minimize my MC pain. I was diagnosed almost 3 years ago with collagenous MC. When I look back on what started this, it seems ...

Hi,
New to the site and am trying to learn as much as possible about MC - collagenous version. first, how do i change my user name to maintain some privacy. Tried to PM Tex but apparently I need to post 4 more times after this to change it. User name is locked in the profile page.
