microscopic (lymphocytic) colitis
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) | Last Active: 1 day ago | Replies (14)Comment receiving replies
I’ve had EPI for several years and managed it well with Vital Pancreatic Enzymes ordered from Amazon. Recently I’ve been diagnosed with lymphocytic ulcerative colitis and am taking Budesonide for 10 weeks. (BTW, I’m convinced this all started because I had my gall bladder removed. Before that I never had any problem and never gave a thought to what I ate.) With Winter coming up, I’m thinking about flu, Covid, and illness in general. My question is what medicines/antibiotics will not interfere with or further aggravate my stomach issues?

Good morning.
I had my gallbladder out and then developed EPI and took Creon for years. Then they found a gallstone in my bile duct. After a month I quit the creon.
Have them do an ultrasound to make sure you don't have a stone stuck in the bile duct.
I got the microscopic colitis after my gallbladder also. I had been good for 3 years and now back in trouble. Just took 6 weeks of Budnesoide but did not help as much as in the past.
Watching your fat intake definitely helps but not completely. Also taking Pepto Bismol does settle the area.
Hope this helps you.

Hi @jlmp - I wanted to let you know I moved your post here so you could chat with members talking about lymphocytic colitis and related issues such as @anniegk @andersj @ferguson23 and others. Hoping they will have some thoughts for you on what antibiotics or other medications for colds and flu this winter will not interfere with or further aggravate your stomach issues.
How is the budesonide working for you so far? Are you having any side effects?
