Hi RB15,

I've been taking budesonide (Entocort) for 8 years, mostly 2x3 mg a day. It soothed inflammation, but did not resolve symptoms.

Now my main treatment is antibiotics (Cipro & Flagyl) for more than 2 years. I started with monthly intervals of about 5 days and a regular dosis of 500 mg Cipro + 400 mg Flagyl with breakfast and dinner.

During the last 8 months I had chronic daily antibiotics use with a reduced dosage after the initial phase. I take them at late evening, some hours after dinner.

I feel hardly any side effects and my digestion is much more stable.

Yet I have to watch my blood levels of the liver where two of them are often far off limits. I'm not sure if this is a side effect of antibiotics.
