Ulcerative Colitis
"GI doctors diagnosed me with  IBS-D .  None of the medications prescribed produced a solution.  I was hit by repeated attacks of incontinence  (diarrhea).   
My present GI doctor diagnosed me with microscopic colitis, for which he prescribed budesonide.  It worked
 I have been using it successfully for about a year and a half.   It is an off-label drug.  not yet OK&#039;d by the FDA for colitis. It has been ok&#039;d for use for asthma for about 10 years but has not been ok&#039;d for microscopic colitis.  
Therefore, I pay just under $400.00 a month for a medication that is generic placed on &quot;Tier 4&quot; in Medicare D.  In 2016 I was billed just under $200.00 for the same quantity .No other drugs are effective. This one is too expensive"
