Possible reaction to Align prebiotic + Probiotic

I have been through a similar experience and have lots of questions…
1. Are you eating a bland BRAT diet, no alcohol, no caffeine, no coffee, no greasy or spicy foods, no dairy, no greens, etc.
2. Taking omeprazole?
3. Have GERD?
4. Menopausal?
5. Diagnosis of microscopic colitis from colonoscopy biopsy?
So many things can play into this.

And I had a very similar experience stage and unmasked on the mask singer after following a very careful diet and taking the budesonide, tapered, with a diagnosis of microscopic colitis.

Check with your doctor about the risk versus benefit of budesonide, for me the risk was well worth it.

All of the questions above play directly into successfully treating microscopic colitis. Good luck! 😊

Hi mjzd. Thanks for your response. To answer your questions: I had to check to see what a BRAT diet is so my response is yes, I go to some of those things that are more gentle on my gut during "episodes." On normal days I have 1 cup caffeinated coffee and later one 8 oz caffeinated soda as I have a snack--otherwise just water. I am post menopausal and have GERD. I do take Pantoprazole. I was diagnosed with microscopic colitis by biopsy during colonoscopy. Because I have three autoimmune conditions I contacted my pulmonary doc to get his OK before taking budesonide. He is comfortable with me taking it. In reading about this condition it says it can come back. Have you had it more than once and how long did the period of time last when you had no issues. Look forward to your response. Faye
