Best diet for those with Collagenous colitis

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.

Unfortunately I went gluten free for about 7 months, it didn’t make a difference. These diseases, especially the CC has been debilitating, it’s making my life miserable. I just had a year ago a tumor the size of a grapefruit removed from my head, non cancerous, thank goodness but it’s been a long road to recovery and now I’m dealing with this, yep, I’m frustrated. Oh and very little information from my GI doctor. I’m thrilled to hear that you’re doing better, that’s great news
