corgikary Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Today is my first day of Whole30. I have collagenous colitis. The medication Entocort which is a steroid, helped for sure. I was on it for 11 weeks. One of the possible reasons for getting this type of colitis could be from the medication Paxil. I don't want to be on medications where one causes a problem that requires the other. I have been curious if what I am eating can change things around. So here I go. Anyone else out there that was able to stop taking an antidepressant due to a diet change ? Looking forward to discovering what foods will improve my health.

Please make sure that you are speaking with your care team about potentially going off medication - not only do some meds have a withdrawal concern but your doctor and health care providers should be checking in regularly with you to make sure that you're doing well and adjust/add meds back if needed. If you can't go off the meds, can you look at switching to something different? Paxil is an SSRI and there are quite a few options in that category to potentially try.
