Budesonide "I have been on it for 8 years. Have tried to wean off but always start to have Crohn’s symptoms again. I still have flares periodically on the medication, but they are minimal. Happy it works for me."

Budesonide "Been on it for 7 years. Works well for me, but I should find a better long-term solution. Almost no flare-ups. Minimal side effects since it's only a locally absorbed steroid."

"Of all the medications I've taken for my Crohn's disease, budesonide seems to have the least side effects for me. I take it three times a day in the time-release capsules."
