Repeat Collagenous Colitis "flare"

I was diagnosed with collagenous colitis 2008.
The GI I saw then prescribed Methotrexate injections weekly x4 weeks. It worked and it did not return.
However, i developed another autoimmune GI illness and ended up going to Mayo for it. Was on Budesonide on and off for years.
Eventually, I was treated with Imuran- it worked. However, that’s a very powerful drug that probably is not appropriate for collagenous colitis.
PeptoBismol has an anti inflammatory effect too.

@astaingegerdm - Thanks for your input regarding your experience regarding Collegenous Colitis. You said having Methotrexate injections weekly X 4 weeks worked...and it did not return. Did you just do the 4 weekly injections and have not had to take them again? Sounds great. Also was the Imuran not ever used for C. Colitis? Just the other GI autoimmune condition? Sounds like you incorporated the Pepto Bismol along the way. Did you have to use it very often or just until you were able to discontinue it once you were given Methotrexate. Again, thanks.
