MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

I am not diabetic. (Thankfully, and knock on wood!)

How much of the ReMag do you suggest I take? I have had a hard time with topical magnesium as even after washing it off, my skin reacts.

I drink loads of water, but am frequently thirsty.

I don't drink coffee, and have peppermint tea about once a month.

I've been doing the ReMag for about 5 months now.

I had blood tests done about 2 months ago and everything was in the "normal" range except for my protein levels were slightly ...

I've done a search in an effort to see if anyone else has broached this topic, and while I see some mention of MC flares right before menstruation, I don't see much more. So here goes the full disclosure.

A bit of background - 49 year old female (duh), diagnosed upon colonoscopy about 3-4 years ...

I have found Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides to be an amazing protein powder source. I too cannot use any of the other protein sources such as pea or whey, and while this is not marketed as a protein powder, that is indeed what it is. It only contains grass-fed pasture-raised cow hides And packs ...

Thank you all for your responses.

I had never considered that gluten was the cause of my joint pain. I'm interested to see what my blood test results show on Monday as a baseline for inflammation. I'll take all this info with me to my incredible PCP who was the one who immediately got to the ...

Hi Tex,

"Primarily gluten-free" is definitely not 100% gluten-free. I do on occasion enjoy avocado toast or vegan pizza (or the above mentioned cookie downfall). So I consume gluten at most a handful of times a month.

Wouldn't I have WD after consuming gluten like I do with dairy if gluten was an ...

Thanks Gabe,

I do do frequent bath soaks with Ancient Minerals flakes, but am looking for a way to quantify and guarantee the amount of Magnesium I am getting with something oral. I don't think what I'm doing is adequate.

I have ordered ReMag, but it will be awhile before it arrives in Canada.

As ...

Thanks for responding Gabe.

I don't eat much meat at all. Maybe once or twice a month. In fact the list I posted is pretty much all I eat every day.

I've tried making my own Magnesium lotion (big fail), and haven't found an easy supplier for oral Magnesium here in Canada yet. Any suggestions?

Thanks Brandy,

I should have said I am completely dairy free, as I do know that it is the casein that is the issue for me.

Is the enterolab testing different than the blood panel my PCP would have done where he was specifically looking for base line inflammation markers? I get those results next ...

Hi All,

I've had CC for as long as I can remember (my nickname as a toddler was the Kaopectate Kid) and I'm now 48. Was only diagnosed a couple years ago when it finally dawned on me that what I was experiencing was not normal and sought medical help!

I had been diagnosed as "allergic" to milk ...
