MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

I jus5 want to chime in that I also started zinc carnosine, psyllium fiber, s boulardi, and I am now able to have normal stools. I also started tiamine, vitamin b1. Now I can even take magnesium. I hope it lasts.

Tex, thank you for that detailed response. This is so interesting and helpful!

Hello all,

It has been a while since I posted. A short summary and update:

I was told I had MC in late spring of 2023. I found this site right away. I stopped gluten, dairy and soy. Just that alone caused the D to reduce from 16+ times a day to about 5 or 6. A small miracle. But I still needed to ...

Thank you Tex. I appreciate having a better understanding.

Hello all. Sorry if I am reposting this, I cannot find the original, so may have not done it correctly.

Anyway, I am curious what it is, (mostly), about Budesonide that causes it to work. Is it mostly anti inflammatory, or is it just mostly constipating (like opioids are constipating).

Another way ...

Thank you. My understanding is that soy sauce is made with wheat as the first ingredient. That’s why I order tamari sauce (made with soybeans) when I get sushi. So I am pretty sure the carne asada was made with soy sauce. I guess my question is…can such a small amount of wheat actually kick off such ...

I have been doing pretty well with just one Imodium at bedtime. Now things are off the rails again. The only possible gluten I may have gotten was from tacos at a restaurant. They assured me the corn tortillas were gluten free. I ordered them with carne asada which I thought was just pulled pork. I ...

Thanks Tex, John, and Gabes, that is all interesting to discuss.

Gabes - I have been a vitamin d advocate since 2007. I took a deep dive into the research. I have take about 4,000 units per day every day since then. I even did a trial of 10,000 units a day for 6 monts to fend off osteoporosis. My ...

Thanks for that explanation Tex. One other question…..

If we are in remission with no more flares….can the colon heal? Is it possible? Could a biopsy of the colon (after MC is in remission), actually be normal? No lymphocytes and no collagenous tissue?

Hi everyone. After so many months of research I am beginning to wonder about one cause of MC. Is it possible that MC is a result of having too much bile in the colon? Perhaps the bile changes the colon tissue? Inflames it. Thoughts?

Hi there.

I am really curious about the original poster asking about the effect of taking immodium if the problem is bile acid. He asked if it was wise since the bile would just still be in the colon but just slowed down by the immodium.

I ask because that is what I am doing. I have stopped wheat ...

Hi. Can anyone tell me what “ CR-3 Buzide ” is? From India ?

I got glutened and it was my own fault. I have followed the advice on this forum regarding gluten and dairy and soy. And….I got so much better for five weeks! Then, while traveling I had a subway sandwich on a regular bun because they did not have GF. I thought, what the heck, it will be an ...

Hi Tex,

Thank you. That helps a lot. I had seen "casien" talked about here. But forgot all about it when I read other gluten free sites. I need to stick on this site. I guess we all are just special people.

Hi all,

I did try to find this info first. Just diagnosed.

I am going gluten free and dairy free first. I did pretty well for a few days. Then I read about Lactose free milk. I tried that in coffee. That day the poops were ok. Then two nights ago I had some pesto on gluten free pasta. The pesto I ...
