I have collagenous gastritis. I was first diagnosed 10 years ago. Prednisone about did me in. I am on my 3rd flare up in 10 years. I was treated with budesonide and placed on a feeding tube. The first two times I completely healed after 4-5 months. This third time I got a little better and was able to go back to work but now it is flaring up again. I was referred to Mayo and have an appointment in 6 weeks. My current doctor had me open up the budesonide and put it in apple sauce to better treat the stomach since it is designed to treat your intestines. I am frustrated and worried. Hoping to find some answers. There is a local ketamine office where I live and occasionally get iv infusions with vitamins and minerals. It makes me feel better right away but doesn't last and is expensive.
