Zizzle,
Apparently there are some folks in the profession who are totally blind to the side effects of the drugs that they prescribe:
As you know, I have long claimed that PPIs are some of the most iatrogenic medications ever approved by the FDA, and IMO they should be illegal to prescribe except in the most extreme cases.
Thanks for the link.

If PPIs are the safest class of drugs that he's been "using" for 34 years, he must be writing prescriptions for some real humdingers, most of the time.Dr. David Johnson, chief of gastroenterology at Eastern Virginia Medical School, said patients shouldn't become alarmed about "the safest class of therapy I've used in the 34 years being a doctor."

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.

Hi,
Welcome to our Internet family. Yes, many of the drugs prescribed by physicians are the reason why some of us have this disease, so it's no wonder that doctors are not very good at treating the disease. They try to treat the symptoms with corticosteroids, but that only provides short-term relief, and soon after the treatment is ended, the symptoms return.
That's why we have learned that we have to change our diet in order to prevent the inflammation from being continually regenerated. If we change our diet early on, and use the budesonide longer than most doctors prefer, most of us are able to maintain remission simply by continuing the diet, after the budesonide treatment is completed. The budesonide is not necessary for healing (in fact, it actually slows down the healing process), but it helps to make life a lot more pleasant by masking the symptoms while the diet changes are allowing our intestines to heal.
It takes a while to perfect our diet, but dedication pays off, and it allows our gut to heal, so that we can get our life back.
Again, welcome aboard, and please feel free to ask anything.
