I googled collagenous colitis (CC) before responding just to learn a little more about it. CC, like wegs, has no known cause. Antibiotics don't work on wegs, so I wonder why your wegs doc wants you to stay on antibiotics. Some antibiotics cause diarrhea as a side effect, so you might get some relief by discontinuing the antibiotics.
Is it possible that you and your wegs doc and the pulmonologist can all talk together at the same time? It seems to me that they're working at cross purposes within their own respective specialties. The goal of this conversation should be to accurately diagnose your current conditions and provide you with a treatment plan that will work.
Good luck!!
