Hello, I’ve been diagnosed with collagenous colitis, similar to MC. It’s a terrible to have, a lot more than diarrhea and cramping, body aches, weight loss and extreme fatigue. None of the conventional medications worked for me. I’m now on Entyvio infusions every 8 weeks and its brought my symptoms under control and I’m feeling better.
I know what you’re going through, gastro intestinal issues are the worst!!!!
Be persistent with your gastroenterologist until you find something that works for you.

I’ve was diagnosed with microscopic colitis in June 2025. I took a 90 day course of budesonide which controlled the symptoms.

I did not stay in remission. I’ve tried to stick to a gluten free, dairy free, low fiber diet to no avail.

I’m seeing my GI doctor today. I think we will talk about a biologic drug.

You seem to be doing well on Entyvio. Was there an adjustment period?

Thank you!
