Deb,
You're right. I've noticed that a high percentage of my references are from 2011. I keep adding them to various chapters, whenever they turn up.
When I get this edition finished, I may need to begin a second edition, a few months later. LOL. MC diagnoses and research are definitely on the upswing.

This May Turn Out To Be An Important Discovery

Hi Gloria,
FYI, in case these other options might work better, phloretin is also found in apple juice and cider. It's also found in pears and strawberries, so I would assume that it's available in their juices as well.

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
I'm having very good results on "an apple a day." I had kind of sporadically eaten an apple prior to Tex's post but not consistently. I bought a bag of Gala organic apples (contains about 12 small apples) from Publix and I've eaten one a day since this post. I havn't had any other dramatic changes in diet since I started with the apples other than I've also added in the raw organic shortcut carrots that Zizzle talks about. I have 1 apple left so I believe it has been about 10 days. Today was the first time I've ever had 1 bm for the day and fairly close to a norman! I've been eating apple-- skin and all --and the apples that I got are on the smaller size, i.e. I think marketed to Mom's of grade school kids. This is obviously not for someone in a flare but for someone who has been in healing mode for awhile. I'm also one of the few posters regularly eating lettuce. For the Ga, AL and FL readers the apples tasted good too!
Brandy,
You may be on the right track. There is evidence that most of the flavonoids in apples, (at least in the apple variety in the report at the link blow), are in the skin/peel:
