Question:
What are the differences between lymphocytic colitis and Crohn’s or Ulcerative colitis? – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – In August 1997 I was diagnosed with lymphocytic colitus as well. I have had a very difficult time finding info. on this. My Dr. said it is very rare and hard to treat. I was on steroids for a few months which helped some but we were nervous about being on it for so long. Right now I am just trying to control this with diet but am still have many problems. Please let me know what you find helps and any information you have. Thank you!
Response:
I was recentely diagnosed with lymphocytic colitis after 9 months of continuous diareha. A colonoscopy with several biopsies taken during the procedure was the only way to diagnose this. This is a relatively rare condition and has only been recognized since the early eighties. Ask your doctor if he is familiar with it, if not, he may not be the right doctor for you. Asacol and all the other medications youv’e had did no good at all in my case. I have had to resort to prednisone. Hopefully not for long. Good Luck, Donna White
