What Is Microscopic Colitis?
Microscopic colitis is a chronic inflammatory bowel condition marked by persistent, watery, non-bloody diarrhea, abdominal cramping, and urgency. It can significantly impair quality of life, disrupt sleep, and limit everyday activities. With the right treatment and support, most people with microscopic colitis can achieve remission and return to a normal routine.

Is Online Microscopic Colitis Treatment Right for You?
Doctronic can evaluate adults experiencing symptoms consistent with microscopic colitis, including chronic watery diarrhea, abdominal cramping, and bowel urgency. Our physicians can review your history, discuss prior diagnostic findings, and recommend appropriate prescription therapy.
Because microscopic colitis involves the gastrointestinal tract and is sometimes linked to medications or autoimmune conditions, our licensed physicians will ask about your medication history, bowel habits, and any prior colonoscopy or biopsy results to ensure the safest and most effective care.

Medications We Prescribe for Microscopic Colitis
Entocort
Budesonide
An oral corticosteroid considered first-line therapy for microscopic colitis. It works locally in the gut to reduce inflammation with lower systemic side effects than traditional steroids.
Pepto-Bismol
Bismuth Subsalicylate
Used as an initial, non-prescription-level agent for mild microscopic colitis. It can reduce stool frequency and inflammation in some patients.
Imodium
Loperamide
An antidiarrheal agent that slows gut motility to reduce stool frequency and urgency. Often used for symptom control in mild cases or as adjunctive therapy.
Questran
Cholestyramine
A bile acid sequestrant that can help manage bile acid-related diarrhea, which may contribute to symptoms in some microscopic colitis patients.

Frequently asked questions
Microscopic colitis is a chronic inflammatory condition of the large intestine that causes persistent, watery, non-bloody diarrhea. The colon appears normal on colonoscopy, so diagnosis requires a biopsy that is examined under a microscope. There are two subtypes: collagenous colitis and lymphocytic colitis.
Common triggers include certain medications such as NSAIDs, proton pump inhibitors, and SSRIs, as well as smoking, autoimmune conditions, and sometimes celiac disease. Identifying and removing a triggering medication is an important first step in management.
No. While all three are inflammatory bowel conditions, microscopic colitis is distinct. It does not cause visible ulcers or damage seen during colonoscopy, and it rarely leads to complications like bowel obstruction or colorectal cancer. It is managed differently from Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis.
Budesonide (Entocort) is the most effective and widely recommended first-line prescription treatment. Bismuth subsalicylate and antidiarrheals like loperamide may help in milder cases. Bile acid sequestrants such as cholestyramine are sometimes used when bile acid malabsorption is a contributing factor.
In some patients, symptoms do improve spontaneously, especially if a triggering medication is discontinued. However, many people experience chronic or relapsing symptoms that require ongoing medical treatment to achieve and maintain remission.
Many patients benefit from avoiding caffeine, alcohol, high-fat foods, and artificial sweeteners, which can worsen diarrhea. Because microscopic colitis is associated with celiac disease in a subset of patients, a gluten-free trial may be worthwhile. A physician can provide individualized dietary guidance.
