Thanks Tex. Don't know if it was the sweetener or too much caffeine, or maybe both. I do miss my diet cokes, but I know what could happen if I go back to them.

The entocort also made my insides burn. When I was in the hospital for 4 days they had to put cold packs on me I was so hot. No fever, but I felt like I was on fire, and I am one who is always cold.

Examples would be balance issues, headaches, vertigo, tremors, blurred vision, tunnel vision, brain fog, disorientation, fatigue, etc. Obviously, not everyone has all those symptoms, but all have been reported by various members.

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.

Sorry, I don't remember the dosage of the Asacol-like drug I took. It was called Apriso which is the same only slow release so you don't have to remember to take it 4 times as day. I did take 4 in the morning with 9mg of Entocort which I am still on.
