Help! Worth telling my doctor?

Ok...last Thursday I started taking budesonide suppositories that were compounded for me after every other suppository option failed to get my rectal flare under control. I have been using one suppository each night.

They seem to have stopped my bleeding and mucus, BUT every morning now I have an episode of total liquid diarrhea which I didn't have before. This is followed promptly by normal stool. Weird. I am also extremely gassy ever since I started the suppositories...like it sounds like there is a war going on inside of my abdomen.

I'm thinking that these things are just side effects of the new drug. However, like I mentioned...the bleeding and mucus seem to be ending. Should I tell my doctor about the new issues (D and gas)? Or should I just leave it be and be glad that the other problems are disappearing?

I know that it is important to be honest with our doctors, but I don't want to stop this drug due to side effects if it is working. I'm almost willing to deal with the new issues if it means that my flare is going to end.

I tell my doctor everything, usually because it's ridiculous and silly, and frustrating as hell to top it off. I think in your case, it sounds like you're seeing improvements. I would take the bad AM poo if it meant the other symptoms were disappearing. I don't like the gassiness and sounds though, they always make me nervous. I don't know if telling your doctor is going to do anything, he may just say to keep going and see how you do, but at least you will have a record of what's been going on and another perspective. It probably can't hurt. :)

I am supposed to call and let them know how I'm doing this week anyway so I guess I'll add these details in. The D seems weird and so sudden.
