MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Hi Julie!

There isn't a lot of science, yet, but lots of people are using microdosing to help with Long COVID and/or autoimmune diseases due to psychedelics' anti-inflammatory effects.

I still have flares sometimes if I eat the wrong thing or have other inflammation (in one right now due to a ...

Hi All,

I haven't been here in a while, but I wanted to share that between the Paleo diet (with some pseudo grains and potatoes) and microdosing mushrooms, I feel so much better.

I have gone through a lot of different medications and Low Dose Naltrexone was the one that worked best for me until I ...

That's awesome, Tex! You have helped countless people, including me. You are a such a blessing to so many! Glad your Dr was open and willing to be curious and experiment. It makes me so sad that Dr's don't get real nutrition training and even the nutrition degrees are predicated on the food pyramid ...

Hi Tex,

I get that all the time with doctors, they say you can just stop a med and it always ends up wreaking havoc with my system, which is why I was thinking the last 4 weeks. But, I think I'll take your suggestion and start tapering at 2 weeks.

I was really hesitant to try this med because the ...

Hey all,

Just a quick update: 5 days on Uceris and I slept through the night with no stomach pain! That doesn't happen very often even when I'm not in a flare! I am impressed. I'm not quite to "normal" as I'm still having some joint pain issues, but I feel those will resolve themselves soon, as ...

Hi Tex,

Did some more research on the forum and then on google and realized I have the European version of Uceris, Cortiment MMX. So I will take one tablet for up to 8 weeks and see how it goes. :)

I really want to thank you very, very much for all of your hard work on this forum and your book. I ...

Thanks, both!

I am going to try it (though it was quite hard to find--and expensive--here). Tex, they only have the 9mg extended release tablets here. Should I still take 3 per day?

Hopefully this gives me another 2 or so years of remission! :)

Thanks so much!

Hey Tex,

I'm pretty sure its available here without a prescription (most drugs are), but I've never used it. Fortunately, until now, I'd been able to get everything under control with diet changes, saccharomyces boulardii, and LDN. I've had some small flares, but nothing like this. Even the imodium ...

Hi all,

Haven't been on in a while; things got crazy over here. I'm moving from Jordan to China in 2 weeks and that whole journey started last August!

Since I last posted and Tex gave me great advice about VtiD and Mag I've been doing really well. Until Tuesday (it is 3:30am on Thursday July 18th ...

Thanks, Tex! This is great info. As a mental health professional, I was excited to see them link inflammation to depression, as well.

Too bad I can't get crickets, here.

Hi Alicia,

I had horrible neck/back/joint pain with my MC. And mine started in high school, years before any of the 'classic' MC symptoms. I, too, got into yoga and massages to help alleviate my pain (and got certified as a yoga teacher so I didn't have to take classes all the time!). It helped, a ...

Hi Thursdayschild,

I had many, if not all, of the same symptoms accompanying my GI symptoms of MC. Doctors now are starting to consider MC an autoimmune disease, so it would make sense that you would have global inflammation and symptoms associated with it.

My main symptoms (other than the D, the ...

Hi Barbieann,

My main symptom, and what started my whole journey, was stomach cramping just like you decide. I didn't actually have D, watery or otherwise, until 2 years into my symptoms. It came on slowly, cramping mostly on Tuesdays (when I ate the most gluten), then happening 2 nights a week ...

In the middle right now. It feels very similar, though I was lucky to get diagnosed Celiac and MC by the first GI I went to (thankfully). But she does still wave off my other symptoms like stomach cramps, joint pain, fatigue, and trouble loosing weight as not due to either of these conditions.

It's ...

I think Tex has this one, but there may be more:

It may also be good to check her blood sugar. This is exactly how I used to feel after a meal with too many carbs because it spiked my blood sugar and then my overactive pancreas pumped out a whole lot of insulin super fast and my blood sugar would ...
