I was officially diagnosed with collagenous colitis, 15 years ago. But I have had it for 35 years. I did entocort and budesonide in the past. At the current time, I am trying to treat it naturally. What is helping me in pumpkin seed oil-2 tbs in the AM and bee pollen-3 teaspoons in the AM.

Digestive Enzymes for Microscopic Colitis Caused Pink Urine

Ted, I read a post in which you talked about stomach acid getting to the kidney and causing problems. I am battling microscopic colitis so I did a Diet to heal "leaky gut". I took digestive enzymes to give my gut a chance to heal. After a few day, I noticed my urine was slightly pink. I stopped taking the enzymes but have noticed my urine a slightly yellow and a little cloudy, the first thing in the morning. Do you think the digestive engymes caused the pink urine and is still causing the yellow and sometimes cloudy urine. I am not taking the digestive enzymes at this time. Also, I take a 2:1 ratio of sodium bicarbonate and potassium bicarbonate before going to bed at night for alkalization.

Wild Yam Root Helps Collagenous Colitis

For my collagenous colitis, I have been given Entocort CR 3mg. It has helped tremendously!! I've been on it for 15yrs. w/no problems. I started taking Mexican (wild) Yam Root for my menopause (hot flashes/night sweats) and to my amazement it also helps with the inflammation of my colon (as long as I don't run out). I buy it at Swanson's cuz it's cheaper & I know it worx for me. The meds are so expensive!! I ran out of yam & suffered tremendously. After spending over $800 for 2 months work of meds I also got back on track w/Wild Yam Root and am feeling sooo much better. No meds after 2 months but will NEVER run outta yam again. I also suffer from Celiac Disease but diet takes care of that. I can even eat oatmeal cookies w/o any effects. Don't know if it's the yam or not but just nice to know I can have a little once in a while! Hope this helps someone else!

Juicing, Remedies and Dietary Changes Help Collagenous Colitis

Diagnosed with collagenous colitis after an allergic reaction. Found that juicing veggies and adding a psyllium (bulking agent), slippery elm, probiotics, cats claw, turmeric to the mix....drinking it once a day first thing in the morning really helped me to reduce medications. Eating only starchy foods like potatoes and rice with fish for dinner.

Some recent research suggests that this autoimmune disease can be cured with stem cell transplant. Some other experimental research into the "repoopulate" pill.

Coconut Oil for Lymphocytic Colitis

I was recently diagnosed with LYMPHOCYTIC COLITIS. Pepto Bismol worked fairly well, but I've read its effectiveness lessens with time. I have received much relief from coconut and virgin coconut oil. I buy unsweetened coconut chips and the oil and eat about two or three tablespoons coconut each day, use the oil on oatmeal and other foods. It relieves cramping, stomach pain and watery diarrhea.

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!
