Tenho colite colagenosa e não sei mais o que fazer. Fui diagnosticada em 2025.
Eu tratava de outro diagnóstico: síndrome do intestino irritável .

Thank you all for your comments. They help so much. I am going to try some of the suggestions as I have been dealing with collagenous colitis for a couple years now and do not want to take the steroids

I got microscopic colitis after several years of over the counter meds like Prilosec and the a doctor prescribed a medication for heartburn. Too late I read microscopic colitis would cause the colitis. I was on steroids which helped but the doctor wanted me to stay on the steroids for many more months so I weaned myself off. My life for years depended on not eating much and no longer walking far because I got such severe diarrhea.
I have several other issues and I am 73. After more extensive reading I have been drinking a slice of fresh ginger in hot water 3 – 4 times a week and apple cider vinegar…….,a TBS. in water and then another glass of just water to wash down….i do this 3 to 4 times a week…..preferably before eating in the am. I also drink fresh lime juice 1 -2 TBS in water and wash down with more water for my kidney issue. I was reading this site and realized I have QUIT CONSTANTLY COUGHING UP BILE, MY GASTROINTESTINAL issues are almost totally gone an my poop is well formed and a better color without lots of undigested food like it has been for years. Mmmmmmmmm. I do also drink a 1/3 cup of wither a good quality keifer or kombucha at least every other day. I am sure my gut is still healing as I have had this condition for at least 12 years. Food and water is the answer not medication. Dr. Gundry TOTAL RESTORE ….I would take 2 – 3 tablets before we would go out to eat. It works great. I quit using it because of the cost. I read up on Budesonide….the doctor prescribed….WOW just going to create way way worse health issues. No thank you……most meds will ruin your liver, kidneys, heart…..NO THANK YOU.

Budesonide has been a god-send for me. I have been on long tapers 4 or 5 times since my colitis started 3 years ago. I can live like a normal human! But I know it’s not intended for long-term use. Every time I go off, symptoms start again in 2-3 weeks. I tried the Fodmap diet for almost a year (and gave up eating some of my favorite, HEALTHY foods) but didn’t get the improvement I’d hoped for. Still trying to find a reasonable, lasting solution other than just “managing” it with anti-diarahheal meds.

Budesonide made me gain 8 pounds of fat that I can’t get rid of. It is like iron around my formerly flat tummy. My colitis started after my first Covid shot. I got mildly better and then I got my second shot and it hasn’t gone away since then. I am convinced that the Covid shots caused my collagenous colitis.
