Collagenous Gastritis: What treatment(s) work for you?

@fdixon63 - I was diagnosed with collagenous colitis 13 years ago. I was initially treated with Methotrexate injections that stopped the non- stop diarrhea. Budesonide should also work.
It is an autoimmune condition- - a trigger, such as a medicine, was never found.
The autoimmune intestinal condition returned, but without the continuous diarrhea. I was later treated with more immunosuppressive medication.
In your case, I would try the Budesonide. It is safer than Prednisone because it’s not absorbed by the body

Morning. Thanks so much for your experience with this type colitis. Let me understand what you're saying. Is it somewhat a temporary fix and symptoms return? I did not know it was an autoimmune condition. I also have lichen planus and have been able to detect certain triggers with it but a "surprise" sometimes will pop up. Guess that is also the case with colitis. Gut issues can be quite a mystery to diagnosis and treat. I've been on the medication for 7 days and so it is a little early to determine any results. Again, thanks. Hope some others will give some input. Take care.
