I’m happy that you are back on the appropriate dose of Budesonide.
My collagenous colitis- years ago- was treated with weekly injections of methotrexate x 4 weeks, curing me for then. I was told that it could relapse.
A year or two later I developed other GI symptoms that also seemed to fall in the autoimmune category- I was seen at Mayo eventually. I did fairly well on Budesonide- best on short treatments with prednisone. I would feel totally well for a few days. However, prednisone can’t be taken for a long time.
Eventually, I was treated with Imuran for a few months. It worked well, but side effects of numerous infections.
I also relied on PeptoBismol, I still do when I get symptoms of SIBO.
I have recently restricted my diet- no beef and pork. My intestines are much happier. I do eat chicken, turkey and fish. I also have cut down the size of my portions. It’s always trial and error with GI diets.
