I tried Budesonide and it didn’t help too much but try sticking to a strict gluten free diet and test for celiac. My gastroenterologist told me they often come together and maybe it would ease some symptoms. Smelling peppermint oil and using pressure points for nausea is helpful for me.
I'm in the United States and was diagnosed with Collagenous Colitis this past October. My Gastroenterologist prescribed Budesonide to address the inflammation. Budesonide is a steroid that is colon-specific and does not have the side effects that come with other steroids like Prednisone. I'd suggest that your fiancee follow-up with the doctor who diagnosed her and discuss Budesonide as a treatment.
