I wish I could offer some good advice. The budesodine as soon as I was done taking it I was back to water but have never had a normal BM. I have a combo of things. Lymphocytic colitis, lupus, I had a nissen fundoplication December of 22 and got cdiff from that and that is really where my issues began. Found the lupus and colitis issues after the surgery. I have also tried dietary changes with no success and I take all the meds they suggest.
