LYMPHOCYTIC COLITIS
04/01/2012: Star from Austin, Tx: "Any thoughts about a natural cure for Lymphocytic Colitis? Right now I'm on three prescription drugs for it and would like to learn about a more natural cure.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Star"

My Dr. placed me on one Priolsec daily for stomach ulcerations and the 8 Pepto Bismol tablets throughout the day. After two days on them I've slowed down and feel in more control. However, when I feel pressure I still need to be close enough to a restroom even though the Diahrrea has stopped. He wants me on it for 6-8 weeks, then we'll see. But I'm all for natural if possible. My test also seemed to show Diverticuloisis not Diverticulitis."

Also a very good probiotic once a day (for the rest of your life.The p.b. should work in two or three days and you may taper off when the diarhea either stops or really slows down"
EC: Ahh, Pepto Bismol pills. We thought for a moment there you were referring to pyridostigmine bromide pills (aka PB pills), which have been linked to Gulf War Syndrome!

08/09/2010: Lucy from Louisville, Ky replies: "I was diagnosed with collagenous colitis 6/12/10. Have tried Entocort and Azacol with no success. Then three weeks of Prednizone which almost killed me. Changed to new Dr. who prescribed Pepto Bismol 2 tablets;8/day. Hasn't helped yet. Dr. Said it might take up to 8 weeks; how long has this treatment taken others?"
10/28/2010: Zizzy from Washington, Dc replies: "Collagenous and Lymphocitic Colitis are greatly improved by first dealing with food intolerances. Most sufferers must follow a gluten-free/dairy-free diet. Sometimes soy and yeast-free too. Hundreds of people have gotten help from a group known as The Potty People. Most members go drug-free after they eliminate their food intolerances. MC is often found in celiac disease, so you should request testing.
Stool and gene testing from is extremely helpful, especially if celiac blood antibodies are inconclusive. During flares, Pepto Bismol tablets and Immodium (lactose-free varieties) are helpful."
