I was diagnosed with lymphcytic colitis about a year ago. I refused anything with steroids in it because of my age (72) and my osteoporosis. It comes and goes. I have no pain just immediate diarrhea. I have tried Pepto Bismol in the past and after a few days I was constipated. Now I am trying it for 3 months taking 2 pills 3X a day. So far today, it hasn't worked. I am down to 107lbs. My lipase is a little elevated at 154 but it was 215 a weeks ago. My amylase was 91 a few weeks ago. I have had it higher and see a gastroenterologist with Mayo. Soon to be referred to the Pancreatic Department in May to continue to follow up. I honestly don't know what is causing this colitis or how I got it or why it comes and goes! I work out twice a week with a Wellness coach. I'm even considering antidepressants because of the amount of stress I've been under. Any ideas would be helpful?
