No side effects of which I am aware. Kept the 'trots' at bay. I am MUCH better on the med than off.

Was in remission for 2 years. I went to see a doctor in a clinic for a sore throat. I told him all the meds I was on for Crohn's. He gave me antibiotics to fight a common cold, which he shouldn't have. Little did I know how it would affect me. 2 days after taking the antibiotics, it stripped the lining of my colon of all bacteria. His mistake caused a major flare up that left me bed ridden for 6 months with absolutely no control over my bowels. Entocort saved me.

I have been on this before and I guess it helps. I have been on full dose since mid Dec. 08 and now starting to taper off. I now am taking 2doses each AM and hope to be off it by late March.

I used this while starting a new med called Remicaid.

Not currently on it but have always chosen to use Budesonide over Prednisone. My Dr. calls it Prednisone light...lol
