"I have celiac and monitor my diet very closely. I've had bouts of severe diarrhea lasting 30 to 100 days. Started when I was 20 (45 years ago!) and usually resurfaces 2 or 3 times a year. Condition became intolerable 10 years ago when very occasional fecal incontinence started. Welchol helped sometimes, reducing alcohol, caffeine, NSAIDs helped sometimes - but symptoms would still return 2 or 3 times a year with a duration of 10 - 60 days. About 3 years ago I was finally diagnosed with MC (lympho.) and prescribed EC budesonide. I take 9 mg generic in the morning and continue for 2 weeks after symptoms are resolved. My symptoms resolve in 2-3 days. This med is extremely effective but understand my condition is chronic. It's not a cure for me but I will rely on it when I have flare-ups. I keep boatloads of Pepto-Bismol and Imodium on hand - and will probably always rely on them for fecal control when an episode starts."

For Crohn's Disease "I have been on this medication for about 4 weeks now. I take 3 capsules of 3mg a day. I started feeling a little better after about a week and a half. I have not had any side effects, which is great! It has only helped very little though. I have a little less inflammation and no colon spasms, but I am still in pain. I will take it for one more month and see how it goes."

For Crohn's Disease "I've been taking 3 budesonide capsules a day since April 2022 for a month or so, after that I am still taking the meds, but 2 capsules a day now. It decreases the amount of the thing that could be found in my stool (not sure what is is actually called !) Pretty sure the normal maximum amount would be 49? And before the pills, it was over 200 for me. After budesonide, it decreased to ~45 over a month or so. At the latest analysis check, It was 90, but I think that's because I didn't follow a proper diet. I personally did not have any side effects. That might be because I have a mild stage of Crohn's. I got diagnosed when I was 15."

For Eosinophilic Esophagitis "My son (age 12) was on budesonide for 7 months. His eosinophils reduced slightly, but his stomach pain never improved, and he completely stopped gaining weight. He has fallen to about -15% on the growth chart."

Entocort EC (budesonide) for Crohn's Disease "I've had Crohn's disease for 47 years. Entocort works great for calming acute symptoms in just a few days. I'm able to live a normal, pain free life with it. I just wish it wasn't so expensive."

Entocort EC (budesonide) for Crohn's Disease "Entocort is used as a bridge therapy to settle severe flares. It brings almost complete relief within 2-3 days but it's just temporary as you can't stay on this drug for long periods of time."

Entocort EC (budesonide) for Crohn's Disease, Maintenance "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."

Pulmicort Turbuhaler (budesonide) for Asthma, Maintenance "Works well for asthma treatment but it's not really easy to wash your mouth after each time of use. Also causes ease of bruises and lowering the defence of immune system."
