Anybody diagnosed with microscopic colitis?

Kristi, I was diagnosed about 4 months ago with Lymphocytic colitis after weeks of discomfort. I was able to get it under control with probiotics, decreasing my caffeine intake and watching what I ate. Another doctor recently put me on antibiotics for another problem and now the colitis has flared up again. Like you, I am new to this, and would appreciate any help others have to offer.

I had a similar experience with an anti-biotic...it set off my worst symptoms again. I'm still trying to get it under control. I took budesonide for a long time, until the side effects became too bad, and when I went off it I found out how your symptoms come right back. I'm working with my GI doc to try some less invasive stuff, but if that doesn't work, I'll probably go to the Mayo Clinic when the weather gets better.
