In December, I was diagnosed with microscopic colitis. (I thought it was CC, but I had a follow-up appt. with my G.I. Doc on 3/26 & he explained that it is LC)
For the 1st 6 weeks, I took 3, 3 mg. capsules of Budesonide.
I saw no improvement.
My G.I. Doc reduced the Budesonide to 2, 3 mg. capsules, and added 3, 1.2GM Lialda tablets.
I've been following Mayo Clinic's recommendation of low fat/low fiber diet, no dairy.
(I did learn that the casein in dairy is a definite trigger for me.)
At my follow-up appt. on 3/26, my G.I. Doc told me that it is going to take a very long time to put the LC into remission, because it went undiagnosed for so long.
I saw my MS Specialist on 2/27, she ordered the usual tests, and once again my Vit. D is low, so I am back on another 12 weeks of 50,000 IU D2, 1 day a week, and then, re-test.
Yesterday, her assistant called and added 5,000 mcg. Vit B12. And is sending me orders for more tests in 4 weeks.
I 'think' my Rebif injections might be contributing to my D. I discontinued the injections for 4 weeks, re-started them this past Monday, and after the 2nd injection on Wednesday eve. the D has worsened.
Does anyone else here have MS and use a DMD?
The Rebif is not worth it to me, if it is contributing to my D.
