Collagenous and Lymphocytic Colitis by Eric Goosenberg MD
"Many case reports describe patients with preexisting presumed autoimmune conditions, such as celiac sprue and rheumatoid arthritis, who subsequently are diagnosed with LC. Patients diagnosed with LC also have had uveitis, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, juvenile diabetes mellitus, pernicious anemia, autoimmune thyroid disease, and idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura. The coincidence of celiac sprue and LC raises the possibility of a luminal agent being responsible for the colitis; however, removal of gluten from the diet is ineffective in treating the colitis."

Obviously, it never dawned on Dr. Goosenberg that other food intolerances might be present. He's probably used to treating simple, "well-behaved" diseases.

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.
