: Researchers found reduced inflammation after 2-3 months of Budesonide. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20457157/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/labs/pmc/articles/PMC6581596/ Allergists aren't meant to replace GI specialists but they can assist in informing diet adjustments (such as milk/wheat avoidance) or new therapeutics arriving soon.
