Just diagnosed with colitis...given Budesonide $$$$

This was my regiment
9 mg/day for 8 weeks and then
6 mg for 2 weeks then
3 mg for 2 weeks then
off the medication

But you have to eat normally and drink fluids - I’m concerned that your stools are rock hard if you are ingesting normal diet and plenty of liquids. You should call Your GI doc in my Opinion. I had relief from incessant and sometimes incontinent diarrhea within days of starting. After that miraculous milestone, I stuck close to home for a week or so and then took the risk of picking up groceries instead of having them delivered. So I have no experience like yours.

Going to ducolax is something I would have run by my Gastro doc. Good luck.

Did you make any dietary changes? I did basically the same Budesonide regimen you were on but after a week at 3 mg I relapsed this past Saturday. Doctor put me back on 9 mg a day for a month and I have a follow-up in 3 weeks. I have struggled to identify my trigger foods, with the exception that I know I can't eat raw vegetables or beans. Since I've relapsed I'm wondering what else might be triggering me.
