Another side effect is weight gain. In addition to bruising and very thin skin on my hands (which seems to always be ripping off and bleeding) I gained 20 pounds in a matter of 4-6 weeks. I don’t know what else to do though, if I quit taking the budesonide 3mg then I can’t leave the house (bathroom) and that’s not good either.

@redill - I’m surprised to hear about the weight gain. Budesonide should only act within the intestinal walls, right?

I know what you’re saying about being a prisoner in your house, me too without the steroids.
I have just the opposite problem, I continue to lose weight, everything I eat goes through me. The doctor checks my blood readings often to make sure I’m not suffering from malnourish. I feel your pain.
