Collagenous Colitis Relapse

I too am recently diagnosed and just finishing 28 days at 9 mg. Next up is 28 days at 6 mg, followed by 28 days at 3 mg. I've been scouring the posts for ideas about diet choices, as my GP just said to eat normally. That is causing all sorts of cramps and gas, plus very soft stools. My question is, could eggs be a food trigger? I eat them daily and have not read in any post that eggs could be a problem. Still losing weight and I just plain need the protein! Second question is, if I'm limiting dairy, are hard cheeses a problem? Many thanks for any and all advice on these 2 questions.

Everyone has different triggers so eggs might be yours. The only way to tell is to go off them and see if you get any improvement. If nothing changes you’ll know it’s not eggs. If that’s the case, I’d suggest going gluten-free for a couple of weeks. I have read that this is a trigger for a lot of people with microscopic colitis.

I was thinking about your post - do you eat raw vegetables, beans, or a lot of broccoli or other cruciferous veggies? I have found that raw vegetables can be a problem and beans for me are a definite no unless I cook dried beans after a 24 hour soak.
Just something else to consider
