@mollygirl3179 I’ve had MC for 25 years now and I have always refused to take Budesonide. I’m surprised your gastro told you it was low risk. It isn’t after a certain age. While it’s not as bad as prednisone, it still greatly weakens your bones and causes the loss of bone density. I now have osteoporosis and I am constantly breaking bones. Also, in my teens and 20’s I was given far too much Prednisone.
