Unexpected trigger for flare of microscopic colitis

I have found the same benefits to giving up gluten and nightshades and going vegan with no oil. I have tried Budesonide several times. But nothing seems to help the urgency issues which can lead to anxiety when venturing out if there isn't a bathroom close by. Has anything worked for anyone with bowel urgency issues which often leads to incontinence?

I have tried EVERYTHING. heres my guaranteed method if I have appointments or God forbid something fun like the play i went to see yesterday. .
I had two events - one was a 10:00 Church service and the second was a 3 hour play plus an hour of total travel time.
I start Prep the day before
By taking 2 liquid filled Pepto Bismol capsules at 8:30pm and another 2 at 9:30. I had a baked sweet potato for dinner.
My son picks me up at 9:45 Sunday morning so I repeat the 2 capsules at 8:30, have a piece of dry toasted white bread and the second two pepto capsules at 9:30.
I got home at 11:15. I have a cup of boiled white rice with no butter and at 12:00 I take two pepto capsules, 2 Gas-X, and leave for the theatre.
I was home by 5 and had seared tuna with steamed veggies and rice at 6.
I left this lengthy to emphasize how I have to plan and execute for a couple of simple outings. It was a LOT of pepto Bismol but within guidance. I had bad dreams about not being able to get to the end of the row of seats To get to the ladies room and pooping over someone. I was terrified.
By 3:00 i was confident I would make it. No twinges at all _ and the 3 People between me and the end of the row didn't show up - so I took a breath and relaxed.
Most days it isn't worth it. Yesterday it was.

I am so sorry. Like I said, I had 7 months of house arrest - much as I’m in now- and in 4 days after starting 9mg of Budesonide a day, I began to get relief. I did also simultaneously stop the known causes (all four drugs) plus sugar and caffeine. I did add all back over time, other than NSAIDs, but in much reduced frequency and amount. All in all, that took about 6 months. But i had a very good result from budesonide and i feel badly that you did not.
