Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I recently was diagnosed with a form of colitis and was given a steroid. The diarrhea stopped for a few months. I was told that the steroid is usually only given once and it takes care of the problem. Unfortunately, the diarrhea is back. I have to take a lot of Imodium to stop it. What foods should I removed from my diet? Thank you
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You need to consult your doctor for complete clinical assessment as well as laboratory studies such as stool analysis. After that, he will prescribe the suitable treatment for you according to the findings.
However, you should avoid Fatty meals, Alcohol, Soda, Milk, cheese and food that cause gases.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
