I am looking for others diagnosed with microscopic colitis

I feel for you, I suffered with this as well.
STEROIDS- ask your doctor, steroids for me were a lower dose which is tapered over many weeks. May not impact you as much as it will benefit you.
ANTI-DIARRHEA - loperamide/Imodium along with eating a “BRAT” diet during exacerbation: banana, white rice, plain unsweetened applesauce, plain white toast worked for me
Stress does not help so any anti stress measures are good.
Not sure what my amalyse & lipase were.
QUESTION: are you on omeprazole? That was my cause.

I can relate to this! I was diagnosed with microscopic colitis 15-20 years ago and Prednisone was the ONLY thing that helped. 5 years later I went on a Gluten Free diet and it cleared up!
Now I have major digestive issues: Hiatal Hernia surgery last February (my stomach was literally in diaphram) diagnosed with gastroparesis in May which required another stomach surgery in October. Began to get really sick afterwards and at first they diagnosed dumping syndrome, and 5 months later I finally requested a stool sample and I had C-Diffe all the while...since then I still have problems recurrent diarrhea but now it is getting worse and seems different than before. I mentioned Microscopic colitis and they almost laughed at me (the NP was very rude about it). Seeing a new GI doc soon! Wish me luck!
