I was diagnosed in Dec. 2024. I thought I had the flu, it was really bad. I got my bowels under control by having liquids only then slowly introduced some foods back and things got better and fairly normal, but my PCP said I should have a Colonoscopy anyway and glad I did bc that was when the MC was discovered, I am on Budenesodine as a taper medication. I will be on it for 4 months. I have an 3 autoimmune conditions that my doctor feels is the cause, but I guess we will never know really what caused it. I take omeprazole for GERD currently. My Gastro. Said that couldn’t cause the condition because I haven’t been on it very long and I only take 20mg daily. I am doing well and find Dairy to be a trigger but only certain dairy products. I see my Gastro, for follow up at the end of June. Not sure if I have to be on this all the time or if once your done do you stop altogether and see or is this drug forever?
