Dr. Rebecca Gliksman answered

Specializes in Internal Medicine

Diarrhea: Colonoscopy? H pylori? C difficile? checked for stool bacteria, yeast ,ova parasite, shigella salmonella and Camphylobacter? unusual for a inhalation spray to cause diarrhea but it is a steroid and steroids can irritate the stomach. They also weaken the immune system so could make you more suceptible to infection. Why taking budesonide? Discuss use of budesonide and diarrhea w/ doc
