Best diet for those with Collagenous colitis

Hello, I’m new to this group. I was recently diagnosed with the same two issues, EPI and Collangeous Colitis. I’m on Budesonide and Lomotil for the CC and Creon 36,000 units for the EPI. I, too, am trying to figure out what to and not to eat with both of these conditions. My GI dr said no dairy or ibuprofen for the CC and minimal fat for the EPI. I’m lost and honestly the Budesonide doesn’t appear to be working. So I’m not sure what to do next. I’m eating toast, plain chicken, rice, jello, egg whites and low fat soups. Unfortunately I’m of little help.

Interestingly, I tried all of that as well but really didn’t see improvement until I gave up gluten for about six months. It was hard at first but I have found many excellent gluten-free foods that make me feel less deprived. Last stool test showed my EPI improved from severe to moderate and my intestinal inflammation from severe to normal. I still have to minimize raw veggies and I occasionally eat sourdough bread but really watch ingredients in commercially made products. I continue to take 3 mg Budesonide and 1 mg of Imodium daily and feel pretty decent most days. It’s not perfect, and is definitely a trial-and-error process to find what will work.
