Angy, Please Check With Your Doctor About Your Symptoms
It sounds like you're having an adverse reaction to the mesalazine. The symptoms that you described in your post in the thread about the chat, are not common side effects, and the manufacturer advises that you should always tell your doctor about them, if you have any of them, (feeling unusually tired or weak, feeling agitated or anxious, having a skin rash, etc.). I'm sure that your doctor will tell you to discontinue taking the pills immediately, if the mesalazine is the source of your symptoms.

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.

Tex...meds are starting to make me feel better...dont seem to be experiencing any bad symptoms and my gut doesnt seem to have that ongoing gnawing pain. The other thing is I havent had D for like 2 weeks..even before taking the meds and my BM seem to be a normal colour...Im wondering when the D will strike...
Angy ;)
Angy,
Well that's certainly good news. Maybe the GF diet is already working, and your gut is beginning to heal. Isn't Asacol, (mesalamine), the only med you're taking, (for the MC)?

Angy,
Is the rash gone? Are you aware that one of the listed possible side effects of cimitidine is skin rash?
