I agree that drugs to heal you can also kill you. My first colitis treatment was methotrexate. Had taken that poison already when I was getting chemo for breast cancer.
Some years later I took Imuran for 7 months. Remission. However, had several bad infections.
Do you ever drink pedialyte or other hydration fluid with diarrhea? Helps electrolyte balance.

No, I usually stick to my all meat, super soft veggies, no soy, no gluten and fruit diet. I am a Type 1 diabetic who runs low on the blood sugar scale, so I indulge in diabetic pumpkin pie for breakfast and snacks. Everythinhg has to be soft. I cheated and had pecans not soaked and potato chips, and I suffered. Watery diarrhea which is the forefront of Microscopic Colitis. I need lots of protein for healing my gut. Right now, my gut feels like an ocean in a rough storm. Gurgle Gurgle Gurgle. I'll do anything not to get sick and heal. I would have to check the ingredients with Pedialyte for hydration. I mostly drink pear juice for hydration because it's not a citric acid that irritates my gut. Orange juice makes my gut hurt. NO CITRUS! I don't trust most food manufacturers. They pay billions for protection. Not to be trusted. "Breaking the Vicious Cycle" gives you the legal and illegal foods to consume. This is written by a world famous PhD who wanted to help her sick daughter back in the 1950s or 1960s. She's the guru of Celiac Disease and other inflammatory diseases. Hope this helps.I drink pear juice, water or tea for hydration. No artificial anything. No dyes! Check and double check the ingredients and if you don't know em, trash the item and get simple ingredients you know. Dorothy
