I have been experiencing a lot of lower abdominal pain and crampy diarrhea. I have had a colonoscopy and endoscopy as well as a capsule endoscopy. My physician thinks I might have microscopic colitis. I don't understand what that is. Will I get better?
Microscopic colitis is the term given...
I had been in remission from a flare for about 4 months and was doing well, so my doctor decided to switch me from my 3-pills 3-times-a-day dose of Asacol to a 3-pills once-a-day dose of Lialda. Two weeks later, I was back in my flare! My doctor said that there have been reports that the extended-release of Lialda has not worked for some people, and I guess I am one of them. So just be careful if you make the switch, and let your doctor know ASAP if you start to experience symptoms more frequently!
