Update on my CC
I just wanted to update you all. My last budesonide pill was on June 9. I took it for 3 months with a gradual taper. Since then I've been as normal as I could hope to be. Even better than before my 8 month bout with Collagenous colitis. I have always been a pretty healthy eater but I'm a little more...

Thank you so much for your encouragement. I considered myself to be a pretty healthy eater and have never had any food issues/allergies that I have been aware of. I pretty much was able to eat most foods. I chose to stay away from very rich foods as they don't feel good on my stomach. I also have no...

Just diagnosed with CC
Hi, I've been reading this board and it has been helpful in gathering information. I was just diagnosed with CC after having watery D since August 2017. Back then I was prescribed an antibiotic for a UTI, then weeks later has looser stools. Since I was going on a trip, my dr. then prescribed Flagyl ...
