IntroductionMicroscopic colitis is a condition that causes chronic diarrhea, predominantly affecting middle-aged and older adults. Typically, it presents with endoscopic findings that are normal or nonspecific in nature (1). The underlying mechanism of diarrhea is believed to be mucosal inflammation, which leads to epithelial damage such as flattening (1, 2). Initial treatment for patients with active microscopic colitis typically involves budesonide and loperamide (3).
