I was just diagnosed with microscopic colitis. I had diarrhea all the time. Since taking budesonide I don’t have diarrhea anymore. It’s a really good drug. My stomach pains have subsided. It’s a temporary drug. I hope the diarrhea doesn’t come back once I finish the budesonide. Ask your doctor about this drug. I hope things work out for you. Good luck

Well, while I agree it's a great relief from diarrhea from micro. colitis.....for me
after years on it, it began to damage my adrenal glands which almost shocked my doctor; as it's not supposed to involve other organs. SO, my body had to fight very hard to combat this. Consequently I can not take long term again. SO, I am in line to begin Remicade infusion.
I beg you all please insist on regular monitoring if you'll be taking Budesonide, especially long term

I have the same diagnosis. I’m also taking the budisonide, though I wonder about the side effects. It has improved the stool, though certainly not normal yet. I’m tired, and my existing arthritis is worse, and not able to take any nsaids or meloxicam while using this. Well, nothings perfect right, at least the diarrhea is gone after 3 months of that😳.
