I am 55 yr. old. This condition came upon me overnight! The Entocort has worded wonderfully, I am now only taking 1 tab. a day and the inflammation and diarrhea is under control.

Hi, My son was diagnosed with Lymphocytic Colitis, which is related to Collagenous Colitis. There's not much research, no good information that pertains to our situation. Have you found any useful sites? Most of what I see is on UC or Crohn's, which is not the same thing. Also, can I ask how old you are? My son is 6 y.o., which is from what I hear unusual. My main concern is prognosis for the long run for him, which is not very clear to me. Thanks!

Sorry, meant to mention too that I only take 3 tab. every morning, no more worry about med. all day.

I was diagnosed about a yr. ago, but had been suffering with it for 6 mn. before confirmed. No, I have never tried Asocol. Tried everything else!! This is the first med. that has worked period. Within 48 hr., I saw a change. No more bloating, "growling noises", and diarrhea!! I feel like I have my life back :) It has been a week now and I only go once a day, normal stools.

I have been taking Asocol for about three years and it def. works but I am still having to take 6 pills/ day. I was curious if you tried Asocol ? How long have you had Collagenous Colitis?

I wanted to share a treatment that finally worked for my ongoing battle with diarrhea from the Collangonous Collitis. After trying 8 different meds with no reponse, my doctor tried me on Entocort last week. Within 48 hr., the diarrhea started slowing down. By day 3, stools started to form again and the swelling, bloating had gone down. It has only been 5 days on med and my stomach is almost what I would consider normal again. Just wanted anyone who is going through the night and day nightmare with diarrhea to see if you are a candidate for this med, it certainly worked for me!!
