Antacid that does not trigger LC?
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) | Last Active: 4 days ago | Replies (5)Comment receiving replies
I have collageneous colitis. When I was diagnosed with celiac 16 years ago I had to go gluten free, and my GERD disappeared within a few months. So many meds are bad for CC and LC. If you haven't, some of the rather irksome steps to minimize GERD may help, such as sleeping on left side, raising head of bed, and dietary changes. It is useful to keep a food journal, just to see if there are any triggers for you CC or GERD. My CC is triggered by gluten, legumes, and NSAIDS and other meds.

@kayabbott Thank you for your advice and information. I am doing everything I can to NOT go gluten-free because my Dr. has confirmed that I do not have celiac. I do know that NSAIDS are a trigger and quit them a few years ago. Foods do not seem to be a trigger (fried foods have always caused issues, including GERD, so I try to avoid them as much as possible.) I also have such severe diverticulosis, so all the good fiber I'm supposed to eat is also avoided. My Dr. shakes his head because all 3 issues tend to fight each other in treatment options. I was not aware of the "sleeping on left side" step to help GERD. I will surely try this!
