@colleenyoung really greasy food sends me to the bathroom fast! I bought a beautiful 1/2 decorated sheet cake from Costco, to celebrate my kindergarten children's end of year and my birthday, and it is a quick bathroom trip after one small piece with icing.Also any amount of fruit juice. Even a fig neuton bar is a laxative. I seem to be having more issues than I was 4 months ago and am wondering if I need to contact my gastroenterologist at Mayo about another round of Budesonide. With having 3 immediate family members pass from pancreatic cancer I get scared with any changes to my bathroom routine.

I have the same reactions to these foods with flour, gluten in them. Are u sure u do not have a gluten intolerance?

I was on budesonide for a couple of years until my skin got so think that it started to peel off in pieces if I did so much as brush against a piece of furniture. Getting off it after such a long time can be difficult, as your worst symptoms can come back. I weaned myself gradually from it by going on Colestipol plus perhaps 1 budesonide when needed, and now am doing pretty well. Colestipol does help, but it ties me to my kitchen timer several times a day.
