Good morning. Curious how the ClearDose is working for you after a month of taking it. My wife has MC too. Thank you

@mrgriz09 it seems to be working but I also take antibiotics and prescription Cholestyamine 2 or more hours before or after taking antibiotics. Cholestyamine is a powder, so I mix it with some Gatorade to replenish the electrolytes I may have lost. The dose is 2 per day, but I take one with every meal, so a total of 3. It took a couple of weeks to kick in. I am sorry she has MC. It's life altering for MC patients, including our spouse and family. Budesonide is the go-to but it's a strong steroid and can sometimes be life threatening to wean off if someone has been on it a long time. I will never use it again after being on it a solid 15 years. Most MC patients also need to go gluten-free and dairy free to help control the symptoms. It's hard, but we eventually get used to it with so many GF products available. And milk is almond, rice or oat milk. I wish your wife much luck! Buy the book Microscopic Colitis by Wayne Persky for her. He also wrote a diet book.
