Does Birth Control Cause Microscopy Colitis?

Is it possible my birth control (vestura) can cause microscopy colitis? I had my son 6 months ago and I started taking vestura 2 months after. About 2 weeks later I started having diarrhea every time I went to the bathroom. Colonoscopy showed microscopic colitis. I am currently taking my birth control and lialda 1.2gm(4x s a day). Everything is still the same, the extremely expensive medicine is not working. Any advise is greatly appreciated!
