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?
I was diagnosed 2 years with a biopsy during my colonoscopy,I’ve had 3 rounds of Budesimide,I’m now on the third round of one a day.when I go off of it ,I don’t do very good,go,see my GI doc in 2 weeks,to see if there’s any new treatment,I sure have to avoid a lot of things,coleslaw,high fiber foods,etc.if anyone has any good advice ,pass it along.Mine all started after two rounds of ATBs when I had tooth surgery.
I should follow up to say that like many collagenous colitis patients who successfully completed a course of budesonide from 9mg to none, i have relapsed a second time. So I am now on permanent maintenance of 3mg/day. The thinking has evolved as they observed the relapse rate. I’m doing ok. Not happy to be on a maintenance drug not of my choosing. But que sera.
It’s a plant and the leaf is crushed and used as a sweetener. Many other sweeteners are artificially made ie aspartame, Splenda & Sacharrin, Mannitol, Erythritol, Xyilitol, These are known to cause certain cancers. Stevia has been considered safe if used moderately not habitually.

What is the deal about Stevia leaf extract?
Each course was 3 months.

What is ATB and could have been a coincidence that it happened after your tooth surgery, what would make you say that?
