Best diet for those with Collagenous colitis

I too have collagenous colitis. I have not been given a specific diet by my gastroenterologist but certain foods do not agree with me, raw vegetables and raw fruit, oatmeal, any product with bran in it and popcorn.

Yup. I can't eat anything with fiber in it or I get pain and bloating and constant watery stools. (Very difficult for this former vegan.) Luckily, I'm not gluten or lactose intolerant and ice cream doesn't cause problems. My drug of choice. "-}

I’m now on Entyvio infusions, every 8 weeks, and I’m doing much better, symptoms under control. I just can’t seem to gain any weight, don’t know if it’s because of the infusions or my gastric condition.

Does Mayo Clinic have a suggested comprehensive diet (what to eat/drink and what not to eat/drink) for those of us who suffer with Collagenous Colitis?

I was diagnosed in October and am currently on a course of Budesonide, which helps. I also have Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency, so Creon is also on my menu. Lost 15 pounds in two months but now appear to be holding steady. My triggers so far are beans and raw veggies. I used to eat salads for lunch almost every day, but no more. Tried chili last night and the beans set me off, so they are off my menu for good 🙁 I have been all over the internet looking for a recommended diet for collagenous colitis but so far no luck. It would be great if the Mayo Clinic could provide something!

It's crucial to work closely with your healthcare team to find what suits you best. Some general suggestions might include a low-fiber diet, avoiding certain trigger foods like caffeine or spicy foods, and opting for smaller, more frequent meals. However, personalized advice is key, so consider discussing your specific situation with a healthcare professional for tailored recommendations. Wishing you the best on your journey to managing collagenous colitis!
