Your experience is very similar to mine - I was diagnosed in October 2023 also and have had great results with Budesonide. If I eat too much, or too much of things that are hard for me to digest, I get some diarrhea but otherwise I'm doing well. I also track my bms with the Bristol Stool scale which my GI appreciates when I see her and can report exactly how I have been doing. I'm 70 and very active and intend to remain so for as long as possible!

Hi Deb
Thank you for your reply to my first letter. It is good to know that someone else has had a good response to Budesonide. You are the first person to say they are using the Bristol Stool chart. I find it very helpful, and so does my GI Doc. How much Budesonide to you take daily? I take 3 mg. daily and have never taken more than that. Keep up the good active life! I am 85 and just led a kayak trip 2 days ago - so much fun and good exercise!
