Discontinue dairy products, gluten, and both. Medications advised for treatment are: anti-diarrheal medications (loperamide or bismuth subsalicyclate), medications that block bile acids (Colestid, prevalite, cholestyramine), anti-inflammatory drugs (mesalamine to help control inflammation of the colon), TNF inhibitors (infliximab, adalimumab, they can reduce the inflammation by neutralizing the immune system protein, i.e., Tumor necrosis factor) Surgery – Surgery is rarely recommended for this disease.
