Do you feel there is a role for triple-phase budesonide in the management of patients with celiac disease who refuse to follow a gluten free diet?

I do not believe it does. Budesonide is useful for acute gluten exposures and type 1 RCD but will not correct the inflammatory cascade associated with chronic gluten exposure and has significant side effects with long term use.
