Microscopic Colitis: How to you keep it under control?

As I mentioned a while back I was diagnosed with collagenous colitis some years ago- microscopic colitis have same characteristics.
I was diagnosed with biopsy and treated with weekly injections of methotrexate x 4. Being in remission was wonderful after spending several weeks unable to leave home. I was taking Imodium, Pepto, Gatorade and Pedialyte. I was told it could return and that I could then take oral methotrexate- I didn’t have to do that. I think it’s important to go to experienced gastroenterologists at a major hospital center.
How were you diagnosed and what made you go to get help?

I was also diagnosed with a biopsy and it was just an add on to EPI and sucrose intolerance.

Hi, sorry to hear that. I hope you feel better in future...
I have been diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, I have no knowledge about this disease and I am worried.
It's been over 7 months since I have diagnosed and I am taking mesalazine.
The diagnosed procedure was colonoscophy by gastroenterologies.
Symptoms: blood in stool.
I don't know the cause though but I have a long history of stomach problems such in 2014 stomach ache and loose motion. At that time they said it is hp bacteria.
So when did I realised what am I going through? Whenever I had spicy food I has been buring, had hard time I toilet and constant constipation.
Then I contacted doctors and unfortunately when you are unlucky like me then you will find stupid doctors they will operate on you without any investigations and they think it is hemorrhoids. So yes It was a wrong operation which they did on me. But please go direct to a gastroenterology instead of physician or surgeon.
So let back to today, I am having hard time find the right diet and lifestyle. Anyone that could help here...
