"I have been on this drug for 3 months. Went through a regimen and weaned off. Began to have diarrhea immediately. Went back on one budesonide 3 mg pill. I have no appetite, have weakness, and nausea. Going to get off this pill and see if I can get to feeling better. I don’t think you are supposed to stay on this steroid."

"I have also had very good results with Budesonide EC3 mg for IBS. Went off after 2 months seven months ago, now back using. Wondering if I will ever be able to live normally without it."

"I have found this drug to be highly effective against my symptoms of colitis. However, the side effects of raised blood pressure and sinus infections are making it not worth taking."

"Taken this 3 times over the course of 3 years, as well as Entocort and Prednisolone, each one for several months. I found this does work for the first week or two, but then gets less effective, and my symptoms come back with a vengeance after that time. Also noticed that on all 3, my levels continued to rise in stool tests, despite colonoscopy showing nothing visual, so I would say it can work but not in all cases. Side effects of the first two drugs were a weakened immune system, tiredness, and headaches in the later cycles."
