A member asked:
I was diagnosed with lymphocytic colitis 4 years ago and given entocort ec for treatment. will it ever go away for good or is it a lifelong illness?

Impossible to say...: The likelihood of "cure" of your microscopic colitis depends in part on your medication compliance, clarifying the diagnosis, and avoiding use of nsaid's (like aleve, (naproxen) advil, motrin, etc.). Talk with your doctor about alternative medications to entocort for long-term use, if needed.

Unclear: The long term prognosis is not known in this rare condition. My hunch would be that yes, you will likely be on some form of treatment for the long run. But only your GI doctor can answer that question fully. Ask him or her on your next visit.
