MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Hello everyone,

yes I'm still here, working on my recovery.
It has been a while since my last post. Since then a lot and at the same time not so much has happened.
In March my new GI discovered that my Elastase levels were down at 5 (if you're healthy it should be above 200). I wasn't really that ...

Hello everyone,

I hope each of you had a wonderful Christmas with lots of healthy food. :wink:
Tex, thank you for always taking the time to reply to my posts. It means a lot to me. I have started reading your book since your last post. It's very helpful and gives me a far more complete ...

Hello everyone,

I'm still here. :) During the last weeks I did as you told me, I tried to be patient.
I monitored my food. Precisely, like Sherlock Holmes. So far I have found out that I can't eat gluten (of course you all knew that already ;) ), I can't have lactose, yeast or histamine. So far ...

Dear readers,

I hope you're all doing fine and that your stomachs are doing well.
@Tex, thank you for your advice regarding low blood sugar and Enterolab. Unfortunately I can't afford Enterolab at this point. I will try and safe some money over time. Those tests could definitely make my life easier ...

Thank you all so much for your kind words. It really helps! Also reading some success stories gave me some more hope. I just really need to be more patient.

I have a quick question. Since I started this diet I have trouble with low blood sugar at least once a day. I start to feel nauseous and get ...

Hello everyone,

@Kilt: Thanks for your ideas about gluten free products. It seems to be quite similar to what we have in our gluten free sections here in Germany.
@tex: Thanks for understanding and you sure are right about the extra stress, no need for that. :lol:
@brandy: Thank you so much for ...

I just discovered the journal section. It's very interesting there. Lots of stories and good ideas. But sadly there hasn't been an update since 2016? This is in fact unfortunate. Maybe my journal may stay in the Main Message Board since I really hope to find some readers who can share their ideas ...

Dear brandy and tex,

thank you for your replies.
I see that the weaning will indeed take a long time. It does make sense to me to take it very slowly. Right now I'm taking 3 mg of Budesonide each day. I had to reduce my dosis from 9 mg daily pretty quickly because I had caught a bad cold. So far ...

Hi everyone,

you may find my introduction here, if you are interested: https://perskyfarms.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=24316&highlight=
I was diagnosed with LC this July but I had symptoms for about 10 years. I don't suffer from watery D but changing stool consistencies (mostly loose), frequencies ...

Dear Tex,

thanks again for your reply. ;)

So if I understand correctly, watery D isn't a must when it comes to LC?
Yes, I have already figured that I will need to somehow check my Magnesium and Vitamine D3 Levels. Do you have any recommendations on supplements that work best for people with MC?
I ...

Dear Tex, dear Kilt,

thank you for your reply.

@Tex: Thank you for your compliment about my English. I do my best, it varies depending on the time of day. ;)
We do have Ciprofloxacin in Germany but it's not first choice and only considered in severe cases. Also, interesting side note ...

Hello everyone,

I'm new to this site and I'd like to introduce myself.
I'm very happy that I have found a message board like this. So far I have been alone with my problems, doctors unfortunately weren't any big help. So I'm going to share my story in some quick sentences.
I hope to find some ...

Hello everyone,

I haven't gotten around to properly introducing myself but I already have a rather urgent question. I hope to find some answers from you since my doctors haven't been of great help so far. I will go and introduce myself in another post later. Promise.

I'm not an English native ...
