Also, I forgot… No artificial sweeteners. You also may want to try Metamucil (sp?) or a similar product with/without a probiotic. If you try one of these fiber supplements, make sure you drink plenty of water as they can have a constipating effect if there is not enough fluid intake.

Let me know how you make out, all of these things work for me, I hope they work for you!

Thanks again! On another post you asked about diagnosis. Biopsies during colonoscopy; Budesonide was tapered. It’s very helpful to share info! I’m interested as to how you arrived at your information?

I was diagnosed with Collagenous colitis which is microscopic colitis and have been in remission for at least 6 months. Was told to get on steroid Butesonide which I refused and went on metamucil and probiotic which sent my body into serious hives and allergies which was a nightmare experience. Nobody ever heard of being allergic to probiotic but I called company and they sent me my money back which affirmed my belief that it is probiotic. But it took a very long time to get it out of my system. It took my entire summer of welts, itching, redness and misery. It was Natures Bounty and I firmly believe that it was just me because the company was in way unaccountable. And I appreciate their honesty.
Good luck to you.
