I am a week into my Entocort steroid therapy for microscopic colitis. I can say that I have no discernible side effects from this drug. It has slowed down my bowel significantly. I am no longer running to the bathroom 8-10x/day. I probably go about half that amount now. The quality of the bowel movements has improved but it varies throughout the day. I have not had significant cramping/pain since starting therapy. That was the most debilitating for me was the cramps. I would be late to work consistently due to waiting for cramps to subside/fade.

I think I may have increased thirst but I don't have the steroid side effect of wanting to eat everything in sight that many people get from drugs like prednisone (very thankful for that).

Hoping for continued progress....
