@margaretamelia Thank you for replying to my message. I have not had any bad side effects from the Budesonide- at least not yet. I am trying to cut back on it. I developed colitis after using an ointment (mupirocin) to get rid of MRSA before a surgery many years ago. I kept trying to get rid of it, and the ointment, putting it just inside the edge of my nose kept giving me diarrhea. The pharm. told me to stop using it - and to read the little paper that came with the ointment, as it says this med can cause colitis! About 6 months later I had microscopic colitis! I wish you well in handling all this.

@margaretamelia Thanks. I too am getting off of Escitalopram after many years. Hoping that that will do the trick. doing Lactaid, sourdough bread, limiting coffee and Liquor. The hard one is avoiding onions and garlic. who cooks without these ingredients!
